What are some tips for caring for baby skin?

Skin care for babies includes the use of sunscreen and hypoallergenic fragrance-free soaps.

When you talk about care for a baby's skin, you want to use things that are gentle, hypoallergenic, and fragrance free. Many baby products that you see on the shelves have fragrances like lavender and chamomile. They smell wonderful, but babies fall into that sensitive skin category when they are a few weeks old. If it smells good, you generally shouldn't use it. You also don't want to wash a baby everyday. Some people bathe their babies all the time. Washing every other day is totally fine. The same general principles of skin care apply to babies, so moisturize after a bath, use sun protection, and don't use too many suds or things like that.
