More Pleasant Bedtime With Bedtime Lotion
I have a 6-month old baby girl with extremely dry skin. She has actually been diagnosed with a mild form of eczema, and at times she develops small rashes on her arms and sometimes her legs. Over the past several months I have tried many many different types of lotion, from the less expensive to the higher priced brands. We have tried fragrance-free, and a few (but not many) over-the-top perfumed lotions. Some just have not worked for her at all. They either don’t moisturize enough, or in the case of some of the scented lotions, they can irritate her skin, at times pretty badly! She definitely responds better to the more nourishing, fragrance-free lotions.
But I have found that at bedtime, our favorite is definitely the Johnson’s Bedtime Lotion. I do an all-over application, with a thicker layer on rough spots like her elbows and knees (her knees are very susceptible to the dryness now that she is on her hands and knees so much, trying very hard to crawl!) before putting her pajamas on. Overnight, the lotion is absorbed into her skin, and by morning, although her skin feels dry again, it’s not nearly as bad as it would be had I not used anything! Another plus is that of all the scented lotions out there, this one does not irritate or add to the redness at all. She even seems to like the scent.
I believe the lavender scent does what it claims- it helps to calm her and put her to sleep. I have had some friends who did not like the Johnson’s lotions for one reason or another, but for our purposes, this one has worked out very well. We will continue to use this lotion at bedtime, and hopefully as she grows, it will continue to agree with her sensitive skin.
I warmly recommend Baby Lotion from baby products category.
