New Delhi: The rainy season is one of the most soothing weather conditions, but at the same time, it can be the most irritating and unrelaxing for babies, if they are not treated well or protected against the season. It is an utmost important concern to protect the baby’s skin and also to nourish the natural oils that prevent rashes, skin allergies, and provide moisturisation and an outer glow to the baby’s skin.
These skin-related issues in babies, can only be resolved with the right choice of oils and baby massage. The skin is super soft, making it delicate to most products available in the market, which makes it super difficult to choose the right things for our babies.
“Rainy days bring with them a lot of fun. But they also come with their share of skin-related concerns. So while you’re soaking in the calm, the soothing smell of wet earth and the pitter-patter of rain, don’t forget to give your little one’s skin some extra TLC. The rainy season can dry out delicate baby skin or even trigger sensitivity. That’s where a gentle, nourishing tel maalish comes to the rescue,” says Akanksha Sharma, CEO & Co-Founder, CITTA.
Natural oils for babies’ skin
Let’s see how we can make the most of this beautiful season without letting it dry out our little one’s sensitive skin. Here are 4 natural oils that calm, soothe, and protect their delicate skin:
- Coconut Oil – This all-time favourite is gentle, light, and deeply moisturising. It glides on like a dream and helps lock in moisture.
- Ashwagandha Oil – Known as the “herb of strength,” Ashwagandha-infused oil helps relax muscles, promotes better sleep, and supports the skin’s natural resilience.
- Sweet Almond Oil – Rich in vitamin E and super soothing, almond oil is ideal for keeping dryness and irritation at bay. It’s easily absorbed and great for sensitive baby skin.
- Sesame Oil – A traditional favourite in baby care, sesame oil is warming, nourishing, and protective. Its natural antioxidant properties help strengthen the skin’s barrier.
These are four super healthy, must-required and naturally effective oils a baby’s skin requires during the monsoon season to keep it nourished, moisturised and supple all day long.
