Dermatologist, Dr. Lindsay Enns, says winter weather and temperatures can really hurt that baby soft skin.

“During the winter there is so much less humidity in the air and babies are very sensitive to drying out especially those with eczema, so it’s very important to keep their skin well hydrated,” says Enns.

Enns says Eczema is one of many skin conditions she treats during the winter. “We definitely see baby dandruff which is called dermatitis, we also see acne in babies.”

She says that’s why it’s important to keep their young skin protected. “You give them a bath every night, and then you just leave their skin wet after you take them out of the bath and coat them with Vaseline. Often times that will keep them well hydrated throughout the winter better than anything.”
