About our Sponsor GAIA Skin Naturals:
When a baby is born, their acid mantle, or barrier function is not fully developed yet & Their skin is 30% thinner than adult skin. Therefore it's important to use specialised, gentle skincare product such as GAIA. Water is not enough to effectively cleanse a buildup of dirt and bacteria that’s caused by faeces, urine, food and everyday living. Babies are commonly exposed to the dehumidifying effects of climate-controlled environments and changes in the weather, which can quickly result in dry skin. Thankfully GAIA have a range of products to help your little one through everyday life such as their Cradle Cap lotion, Baby washes & Soothing Cream.
GAIA’s Massage Oil. Made from cold pressed sweet almond oil, blended with a hint of organic lavender and chamomile, to provide a beautiful, naturally fragranced oil for use at massage time.But not only can this oil be used for baby massage but also as a nourishing moisturiser or bath oil to help with dryness of skin or combat cradle cap. A product designed with natural skin compatible oils that will leave your baby’s skin feeling hydrated and soft without clogging their delicate pores. So when it comes to choosing a product you can trust for your baby’s skin GAIA skin naturals have got you covered.
