I’m surprised by all these aquaphor recommendations.

It clears up red dry skin so fast, as well as any rashy parts (from food, lip licking, etc. Might try cerave for daytime if I can find one with an spf.

I haven't compared.

I think it’s the small amount of alcohol in the lotion. He doesn’t mind Lucas Papaw or coconut oil but neither seem that great for the skin so Aquaphor is next on my list to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryness-on-toddlers-face#post-2800946 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:50:44 +0000 erinbaderin 2800946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Vaseline - my kids get really red rough cheeks in the winter from wind and cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryness-on-toddlers-face#post-2800944 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:47:02 +0000 Charm54 2800944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use cetaphil on my girls, my oldest dd has eczema and it is really effective </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryness-on-toddlers-face#post-2800942 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:23:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2800942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: I use this Aquaphor Advanced Therapy Healing Ointment Skin Protectant 7 Ounce Tube <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0107QPFBU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TUqCAb8HM5EQY" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0107QPFBU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TUqCAb8HM5EQY</a><br /> I have both tubes and tubs of it throughout my house. I use it on dry patches on the kids as needed, not every day, and for myself I’ll use it on my lips, under my nose when it gets raw from tissues, on my hands as a thick lotion for super dry skin (only do this when you have time to sit and let it soak in since it’s greasy if you use a lot). We live in New England and it’s cold and very dry. </p> <p>For after bath lotion cetaphil works better for my eczema prone 2 year old.

I try to avoid most mainstream toiletries as they only have to adhere to guidelines from 1970 and don't have to tell us everything that's in their product</p> <p>Plus I'm not sure why if it's pore clogging it would be ok for your body but not face? All your skin has pores </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryness-on-toddlers-face#post-2800905 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 16:23:16 +0000 kiddosc 2800905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use cerave as well.
