Go Ahead… Get Messy!

Go Ahead... Get Messy!

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of summer? Longer days, baseball games, trips to the beach, relaxing on the porch with a glass of lemonade? Summer is a wonderful time filled with activities leaving us with memories that last a lifetime. However, some of the fondest memories are the messy picnics and barbeques with the kids.

There is usually a plethora of watermelon slices and enough condiments for your child to bathe in. Without fail, your adorable little one will end up with a huge stain on their clothes (which inevitably ends up on your clothes too!).  Good luck figuring out the source of the stain—could be watermelon, an ice pop or a juice box gone awry.  Either way you have to grin and bear it for the rest of the party wondering if you’ll EVER get those stains out!

Well, unless your child suddenly becomes a clean, well-mannered eater in the next couple of days (in which case they are acting better than most of us adults), then there are going to be many more events like the one described above to come!

Luckily, there IS a solution that will allow your kid to be a kid, and will make mom and dad’s job a lot easier! These all-natural MESSES don’t stand a chance against the All-Natural Laundry products that BabyGanics provides to its consumers. Not only are these products proven to be effective, even against the all-mighty watermelon and mustard stain, but they’re perfectly safe for your child AND you!

The DO’s and DON’Ts of Newborn Skincare
by BabyGanics™ May 25, 2011

Newborn baby skin is delightfully soft, smooth and healthy. However, it is also very sensitive. Your child’s skin may be affected by many “invisible” factors like perfumes, dyes or harsh chemicals. Take extra care when selecting the products used on your baby’s skin. Proper daily skin care is needed to keep your newborn’s skin smooth and soft. Here are a list of DO’s and DON’Ts to help keep your baby’s skin looking and feeling healthy: DO Select the right baby skin care products. Always use mild and gentle soaps, shampoos, lotions and ointments. Natural baby products are the best option because they are made with naturally derived ingredients and are free of toxic chemicals. Try: BabyGanics Foamin’ Fun™ Foaming Shampoo & Body Wash Fragrance Free DO Get control over your baby’s diaper rash. To take care of diaper rash, always wipe and clean your baby’s bottom thoroughly when changing. Use a soft cloth to apply warm water and a gentle cleansing product. Pat the area dry before applying diaper cream or ointment. Try: BabyGanics Healin’ Groovy™ Protective Ointment DON’T Use heavy moisturizers. Baby’s skin readily absorbs lotion so choosing a lightweight texture is the best option, even during the winter season. Try: BabyGanics Smooth Moves™ Moisturizing Lotion Fragrance Free DON’T bathe newborn babies daily. Giving your newborn a sponge bath 2-3 times per week is a great way to gently wash away residue from milk or spit up that can irritate their delicate skin. Use a soft cloth to dab the body dry. Use a mild bath product to avoid over-drying of baby’s skin . Try: BabyGanics Tub Time™ Bubble Bath Fragrance Free [...]

Heat Rash Prevention and Treatment
by BabyGanics™ April 01, 2011
 
Apr

Heat rash is a common skin condition among babies and children.  It is characterized by a patch of pink or red bumps, and usually appears on body areas covered by clothing.  It develops when the sweat glands become blocked and swell, which leads to redness and itching.  In babies, heat rash is typically caused by parents that dress their babies too warmly, but it can happen to any baby in very hot, humid weather.  A baby should be dressed similar to an adult to be comfortable, given the same activity level. There are three types of heat rashes: milaria crystallina, milaria rubra, and milaria profunda.  They are similar in appearance and symptoms.  Milaria crystalline appears like a scaly cluster of small water blisters on your babies’ skin.  This occurs when the sweat glands become blocked and rupture.   This type of rash usually develops on the babys’ head, neck or upper chest.  Prickly heat, or milaria rubra, is the most common form of heat rash.  The sweat glands become red and inflamed, and may cause a “prickling” or stinging sensation, as well as itching.  The inflamed sweat glands appear as groups of small bumps with a red circle around them, and are typically found in the folds of the skin.  Milaria profunda is characterized by small, flesh-colored bumps, and is more common is adults than children.  In rare cases heat rash can become infected secondary to scratching, and this is called milaria pustulosa. In order to avoid heat rash, the prevention of overheating is vital.  Dress your child in weather appropriate, loose fitting clothing. Lightweight fabrics, such as cotton will keep your child cool and dry.   Avoid the use of moisturizers and oil-based products, which can block the sweat glands. If you or your child develops heat rash, it is usually self-limiting and will go away on its own.  Treatment is warranted on occasion, and includes moving indoors to an air-conditioned environment and dressing in looser fabrics.  If the rash becomes itchy and/or inflamed, over- the- counter steroid creams or calamine lotion can be used to decrease these symptoms.  Cool compresses or a tepid bath can also alleviate this itchy, red rash.  Topical and/or oral antibiotics are used if the rash becomes infected. Heat rash can be very uncomfortable for you and your baby.  Using the appropriate creams can help to prevent it from developing.  BabyGanics™' Smooth Moves™ Moisturizing Lotion contains an all natural formula, that keeps your child’s skin smooth and healthy.  It is infused with special ingredients that nourish your infant’s skin while also keeping it cool and dry, even when exposed to the sun and heat.  It is free of harmful ingredients and toxic chemicals, which makes it safe to use on your child as well as yourself.

Moisturizing Baby Skin: How to Take Care of Your Baby’s Skin
by BabyGanics™ February 20, 2011

Keeping your baby’s skin healthy is very important to his or her well-being. An infant’s skin is thinner and more sensitive than an adult’s, and thus requires special care to remain healthy. It is less resistant to bacteria and other harmful substances in the environment, especially if it is irritated. Therefore, it is vital to keep your baby’s skin hydrated. If not regularly moisturized, the skin may become dry, which makes it more susceptible to breakdown, irritation, and possibly infection. During the cold, winter months your infant’s skin may become even more dry and chapped. Bathe your baby every other day during this season. Applying moisturizing creams and lotions is a good way to maintain your baby’s moist and healthy skin. Apply your moisturizer immediately after bathing your baby, as this ensures that the moisture is sealed in just under the superficial layers of the skin. Always read the label on the bottle to ensure that the ingredients are safe for your baby’s skin. Natural moisturizing products such as shea butter, vitamin E, and aloe are recommended. Products like Babyganics Smoothe Moves contain these safe, plant-derived ingredients and provide deep, long lasting hydration. Try to avoid products that contain dangerous chemicals like sulfates, phthalates, and parabens. These chemicals are potentially carcinogenic and should not be used on your baby’s delicate skin. Use Babyganics products on your own skin if you want smooth and silky skin too! [...]
