Baby Dry Skin: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments for Newborn Dry Skin - S3 E2

Welcome to today’s episode, where we dive into a crucial but often overlooked topic: baby dry skin. We’ll explore what constitutes dry skin in infants, why newborns are particularly vulnerable, and the triggers behind the condition — ranging from environmental factors like cold, dry air to over-bathing and harsh cleansers. We’ll also unpack common signs such as flakiness, rough texture, red patches and peeling, and how to tell the difference between simple dryness and more serious issues like eczema. In addition, we’ll cover effective treatments — from moisturizing routines and using lukewarm water in baths to choosing fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products — and preventive measures every parent should know.In the second half, we’ll go further into practical steps for managing and preventing baby dry skin: how to optimize indoor humidity, select the right fabrics and detergents, monitor hydration and recognize when it’s time to seek professional help. This discussion is informed by scientific studies and research. For the full article and deeper dive, check out the original post here: https://www.eraorganics.com/blogs/beauty-guide/baby-skin-dry
