Question
The baby is five months old, and the face is dry, red, and cracked for two weeks without improvement. Please ask: Can the baby’s face be applied with Johnson’s Baby Lotion?
Answer
In summer, it is still recommended not to use it. When using petroleum jelly for the baby, attention should be paid: Petroleum jelly has a strong waterproof property and is not easy to mix with water. It is precisely because of this characteristic that petroleum jelly is an excellent moisturizer. Plus, its scent is very light, very suitable for babies to use, but it should be noted that the petroleum jelly used for the baby should be baby-specific. In winter, when the baby’s skin is prone to dryness, mothers can apply it every day to protect the baby’s tender skin and moisturize the skin, which is quite effective. However, in summer, it should be avoided as much as possible. Mothers should also note that when applying petroleum jelly to the baby, first apply it evenly on the hands and apply it to the baby as thinly as possible. When applying it to the baby, you can slightly add warm water to dilute the petroleum jelly before applying it to the baby. In addition, careful mothers have tried that before putting on disposable diapers for the baby, they can apply petroleum jelly first and then apply a layer of diaper rash cream to more effectively prevent diaper rash and isolate bacteria.
