Changing Weather, Changing Skin

With the weather turning Baltic, and having a 16 week old, it's still so important that I get out and about to my baby classes, seeing friends and of course shopping! 
My little ones skin is taking the brunt of the change, one minute being in the cold, the next in the heating of the home or shopping centre, she now has dry patches that I have been on a mission to try and resolve. 

The first range I have tried is the New Cusson's Mum & Me 


Their range is Hypoallergenic, Pediatrician approved and kind to eyes


Sleep Tight Baby Bath


The mild cleansing bubbles are kind to little eyes, whilst the added moisturisers help care for your baby’s delicate skin. 
Available in 500 ml 
Key Ingredients: Lavender and Camomile (Full list on website) 

This smells beautiful, I do prefer the smell of this to the Johnson's bedtime bath. It doesn't over foam and doesn't dry out her skin. The scent doesn't stay around for long though which is a shame. My Little one likes to have a good splash in the bath, and the wash doesn't seem to bother her eyes at all. This is a hit for me!


Sleep tight Massage Oil  


Sleep Tight Massage Oil contains a blend of Jasmine and Aloe Vera to soothe your baby’s skin
Available in 100m
Key ingredients: Graoe Seed Oil, Jasmin, Aloe Vera (Full list on website)

This is a light oil, and again has a very pretty scent. Its not to heavy and doesn't leave greasy marks on my baby girls clothes. It's inexpensive compared to some baby massage oils and works well on the skin. I don't think I would use it as moisturiser, but more for a more indulgent massage and then layer a moisturiser on top. I'm enjoying using this with my daughter, it's a great way of bonding and it's relaxing for both mother and baby. 


Emollient Body Cream 





This rich moisturiser is fragrance free and contains gentle emollients and Almond oil to help moisture and care for eczema prone sensitive skin
Available in 125m
Key Ingredients: Almond oil, Shea butter, Sun flower seed oil (full list on website) 

This is a thick moisturiser with no scent, and it kind of reminds me of silly putty. It feels great and you really have to work it in to the skin. The next day the dry patches on my baby were even more pronounced. Now I have never used an emollient before on myself so I don't know if this is supposed to happen but the second night I used it the next morning it was clear and smooth.
Lastly I stupidly put it on her face and within seconds it wen bright red. It's a body cream and it doesn't mention for face so that was my mistake. the redness went down within 30 minutes.  

Overall I think the range is good, the best thing about it is the smell, its gorgeous. I think I 
will try the range for mothers, and will try the bump range when I have my next child.
