Do Kids Really Need Moisturisers?

Generally kids do not need moisturisers but if certain patches are very dry why do you not try baby applying baby lotions on that area? Aleo Vera would also be a wonderful natural moisturizer, if you can lay your hands on it. Shampoos, I stick to the ones specifically formulated for kids as they are much gentler than the adult ones.the same is true for soaps. Generally in the winters, I apply aloe very on my son's skin. Good Luck

I used to regular johnsons baby lotion, but when I realized that it didn't have ingredients that I thought were favorable I switched. My friend also advised that it clogs their pores. My son also has dry skin so I started bathin him in Cetaphil liquid soap. It does not have a sent and leaves there skin extra mosturized and smooth. To lock in the mosturize I use an organic shea butter lotion. While it is more expensive it is worth it.

Dry skin is a common problem in the winter. If your son has a problem with dry skin, he may be better off with a moisturizer. If you're concerned, you should ask your doctor to recommend one that is safe and kid-friendly. Maybe you can try use Aveeno.

I never used anything but Johnson's baby products on my young kids. Now that they are a bit older, they may sneak some of mine. You can look for aloe, or other all natural products, that won't contain the harmful products that you don't want. If you go to Etsy there are sellers who make all natural lotions, and body products, and their prices are reasonable. Adding a humidifier to his room, increasing his fluid intake, should both help a lot. If you can not afford a humidifier, buy a clothes rack, and set it in his room. The dry air in your home will naturally suck the moisture out of the wet clothes, naturally adding humidity to his room.
