Theraplex® Helps “Beat the Heat”.

TIPS TO KEEP YOUR CHILD’S SENSITIVE SKIN COMFORTABLE THIS SUMMER:

Recommended by Dermatologists, Theraplex® Helps “Beat the Heat”.

As balmy summer weather heats up, it is not unusual for people to experience a dramatic increase in perspiration, often causing sensitive skin to “flare up.” This is especially true for children who have eczema. To help keep your child’s skin “cool in the shade,” the experts who make Theraplex® skincare offer summer tips designed to keep sensitivities in check.           

·        To help keep your child feeling cooler and drier, avoid the sun when it is at its strongest (from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m)

·        Apply a sunscreen SPF 30 or higher. Many pediatric dermatologists recommend physical sunscreens as they may be less irritating than chemical sunscreens.

·        If your child has been in the ocean or pool, rinse chlorine or salt off with a gentle cleanser and immediately apply a moisturizer such as Theraplex ClearLotion.  A light, fast penetrating emollient oil spray, ClearLotion has earned the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. When applied to damp skin, it uniquely wraps around water on the skin's surface, sealing in moisture and replacing the natural oils that water and soap can strip away. After towel drying, ClearLotion leaves skin moisturized for hours without greasiness. And, because ClearLotion is a spray, you will be able to apply it to even the wriggliest of children!

·        Make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids.

·        For added protection and comfort any time of day or night, try Theraplex Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Skin Protectant with natural colloidal oatmeal. It also has earned the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. This enriched moisturizing formula helps to relieve dry skin with superior moisturization that lasts for hours. It soothes your child’s dry, sensitive skin without parabens, fragrances, preservatives, or lanolin.

My Thoughts:

I've had sensitive, dry skin ever since I was a little girl. Finding the proper lotion and skin care regime has always been difficult. Not only do I try to avoid greasy moisturizers, but finding one that actually works all day to provide relief can be a challenge. When I read about Theraplex's ClearLotion I loved the idea. I've always applied my moisturizers after a shower since the pores are open from the heat. I'm a huge fan of natural oils too, so this product was ideal.

Application of the Theraplex ClearLotion is extremely easy and convenient! After a shower or swim, spray the lotion onto your skin. I like to rub it in with my hands to ensure I get every area. It immediately begins soaking in. Then, pat dry your skin with a towel and you're ready to continue your day! The ClearLotion does not stick or transfer to your towel so there's no need to worry about residue. It also does not leave a greasy feeling on the skin either. I began noticing a difference in the texture and softness of my skin after the first application. After a few weeks I can honestly say my skin looks and feels great! No dry bumps or dry patches! I am excited to keep using the Theraplex Clear Lotion.

Back to School with Nexcare Sensitive Skin Products

3M has  designed a new line specifically for those with sensitive and fragile skin, particularly infants to school-age children. With reliable adhesion and kind removal, the hypoallergenic products in the Nexcare Sensitive Skin collection offer an option for families of all ages that are affected by skin sensitivity.

 

The line was created in conjunction with research developed by Nexcare Brand on how skin sensitivity can be more than just a nuisance, it can impact day-to-day lives and activities for many families. Please find highlights of the results below, including the interesting statistic that over 9 in 10 parents (91%) report tricks that they use for helping ease the process of pulling off bandages or first aid dressing.

 Nexcare™ Sensitive Skin First Aid Tape

Product Benefits and Properties: Ideal for frequent applications such as: securing medical devices, post-surgical gauze applications and wound care

My Thoughts

 I always have trouble getting the tape to stay in place.  This held up great, and it didn't irritate my daughter's skin.  When it was time to remove it, it came away easily, and didn't even take any hair with it.

 Nexcare™ Sensitive Skin Eye Patch

Product Benefits and Properties: Ideal for treating amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes), as part of doctor recommended treatment plan

My Thoughts

I haven't had a chance to test these personally, and I hope I never need to, but they are good to have on hand. Even if you don't have sensitive skin normally, the eye area is easily irritated.  They come in both junior and regular sizes to ensure a great fit every time. 

 Nexcare™ Sensitive Skin Adhesive Pads

Product Benefits and Properties: Helps protect wounds such as cuts, minor burns, abrasions and post-surgical incisions

My  Thoughts

These are the best bandages. My daughter fell and skinned her knee and I used one of these. Normally, the adhesive will irritate her skin all around the wound, leaving it red, blotchy, and itchy.  With this, we had no issues at all. Her skin around the wound stayed smooth and there were no tears when I had to take the bandage off at bath-time.

Little Twig Baby Wash & Lotion Review

Lavender Scented Lotion or Oil is often very helpful in promoting a healthy natural sleep for both babies and their parents. Lavender has aromatherapy properties that are calming and relaxing. By applying the Lavender scented products to your little one just before bedtime, you get the benefit of the lavender itself plus the relaxing benefit of the massage that also encourages a better night's sleep.

Shower your little one in serenity with this organic blend of essential oils and mild foam. This formula combines skin softening vitamin E with just a whisper of lavender and chamomile. Gentle enough for newborns.

Phthalate Free Pediatrician Tested Paraben Free

Sulfate Free Nut, Soy and Wheat Free Non Irritating

No Synthetic Fragrances Head-to-Toe Ideal for Sensitive Skin

 

Our Thoughts

Lavender is one of my favorite scents, and knowing the health benefits and the sleeping benefits of it, I wanted to try this baby wash and lotion. Firstly, as soon as I opened each bottle, the scent was not mild, you can't mistake it for anything else. It was legitimately stronger than any scented "oil" product I've used before.

I tried the lotion on myself first because I have sensitive skin and it felt great and, again, smelt great too. It was very creamy and my skin soaked it up great, no greasy feeling leftover and the scent of lavender on my skin lasted for about an hour or so too.

When I tried the baby wash, I did this right before my son's bedtime and within minutes of him getting out of the bath he was ready for bed. It was normal bedtime anyway, but I honestly think the scent knocked him out! Some soaps are more slippery than others so I only used a pea-sized dollop on my finger to wash his hair and it was plenty. To be honest, I enjoyed the soap so much I use it for myself too!

They also have tangerine and unscented too for the super-sensitive skin types or those who do not like scented products!
