When you’re looking for products to use on your baby’s skin, it can feel overwhelming. When you’re shopping for baby skin care products, there’s a few things you can keep in mind.

The unique formulation of the products in the Bepanthen® DERMA Provitamin B5 Repair Complex consists of five main ingredients: Keep newborn babies out of the sun. You should keep babies younger than six months old out of direct sunlight, and when they’re older use a parasol or sunshade to protect them. You should also apply sunscreen to their skin of at least SPF 30 and reapply it regularly. Because babies cannot regulate their body temperature very well, keeping them out of the sun also helps to stop them from becoming too warm and overheating. If your baby has dry skin, there are a lot of moisturisers that may help. Baby creams and lotions have emollient properties – this means they soothe and hydrate dry skin while trapping in moisture. Your doctor or pharmacist might recommend you use an emollient on your baby’s skin if they develop eczema (which tends to look like a red, itchy rash) or other skin irritations. Once your baby is clean, pat their skin dry with a soft, fresh towel. Don’t rub at their skin, as this can irritate it.If you choose the type that suits your skin, you will see the effect. You will notice that even acne spots that formed years ago do not exist thanks to regular use. Warnings
