8 reasons why you should use a face balm on your baby or child this spring

We often think of winter causing havoc with our skin but the unpredictable and changing weather of spring can be just as troublesome. Sunshine one minute, hailstone and wind the next! Here’s 8 reasons why using a face balm on your baby or child during spring can provide several benefits for their skin.

1. Maintaining moisture balance: Spring weather changes can disrupt the skin's natural moisture balance. A face balm helps to regulate moisture levels, keeping the skin hydrated without being too oily or heavy.
2. Protection: A face balm forms a protective barrier on the skin, shielding it from environmental pollutants and wind, which can be more intense during springtime.
3. Soothing: Babies' skin can be sensitive, and exposure to pollen, dust, and other allergens during spring may cause irritation. A soothing face balm with natural ingredients can calm and alleviate any redness or itching.
4. Preventing chapping: Windy conditions in spring might lead to chapped skin, especially on exposed areas like cheeks and lips. Applying a face balm helps prevent chapping and keeps the skin soft and supple.
5. Comfort during seasonal transitions: Spring marks a transition from colder, drier conditions to warmer, more humid weather. Using a face balm helps ease this transition for the baby's skin, providing comfort as the seasons change.
6. Preventing eczema flare-ups: Babies prone to eczema may experience flare-ups triggered by seasonal changes. A moisturising face balm can help prevent these flare-ups by keeping the skin hydrated and protected.
7. Easy application: Face balms are often formulated with a rich, creamy texture that glides smoothly onto the skin. This can make it easier to apply and ensure that the product is evenly distributed, even on a wiggly or active child. Mum & You Face The Day stick is a chunky applicator, think of it like a big lip balm, so its super easy to apply and toddlers love to do it themselves
8. Teething and weaning: Ok so not just spring specific but as mums ourselves we know teething can go on for a while, long before teeth pop up, and all that extra dribble can leave skin feeling sore and red. Plus once they start weaning the extra saliva, messy food sitting on the skin and the extra clean ups can add to the irritation. A face balm is a quick way to sooth and protect
