Baby’s skin is extra sensitive, extra soft and extra squishy, making it perfect for little kisses and touches. But this extra sensitivity also makes baby’s skin prone to dryness, redness and eczema, all things we prefer to avoid if possible.
While some baby skin conditions are part of the newborn stage (such as milia and baby acne), others may be caused by the products you’re using. While there is no one-size-fits-all option when it comes to caring for your baby’s skin, there is one brand that continues to impress.
And that brand is Dove. Baby Dove to be exact.
Dove is a leader in body wash and shampooing products and they have taken this trust and quality into the wonderful world of baby skincare. We are so excited to see they’re just releasing the new Baby Dove Rich Moisture Range launch in Australia, providing long-lasting 24-hr hydration to babies’ skin to prevent irritation and also ensure soft, smooth skin.
Whether you’re shopping for your baby or looking for a thoughtful gift for any new parent, the Baby Dove range will support a much-loved skincare routine for parents and babies.
To celebrate the launch of this new product in Australia, we’ve teamed up with Dove to give away 20 x Baby Dove Rich Moisture Prize Packs, each featuring:
- Rich Moisture Shampoo
- Rich Moisture Body Wash
- Rich Moisture Lotion
Sign up below for your chance to win! But before you do, here’s why we think Baby Dove is perfect for Aussie babies.
Bye Bye Buyer Confusion with Baby Dove
Shopping for your baby can be slightly overwhelming, especially as there are so many brands to consider. One stroll down the baby aisle, and you’ll see just how many brands of nappies, wipes, formulas, lotions, creams and shampoos there are to choose from. How do you even choose?
When it comes to buying products for newborns, we always recommend going with a brand you already know and trust. As your little one grows older, you may find they prefer the cheaper or noname brands, but, to begin with, stick to what you know and love.
Dove loves skin. Baby Dove loves baby’s skin and has been specifically designed to keep your little one’s skin hydrated. Baby skin is more sensitive and reactive to products and conditions, which is why it’s essential to use gentle, hypoallergenic skincare. Not only does the range attend to all the cleansing needs of your baby, every product is also enriched with ¼ Dove’s signature moisturising cream to provide 24-hour deep, superior moisture for smooth and soft baby skin.
Cleanse, Moisturise, Repeat
The new range includes three key products for baby skincare bliss –shampoo Dove Baby, body wash Dove Baby and body lotion Dove Baby. The body wash is available in two varieties:Â Rich Moisture and Calming Nights with chamomile extracts.
Every product in the range is filled with 100% skin-natural nutrients and dermatologist and paediatrician-tested to be suitable for newborn skin.
What makes these products especially stand out from the rest on the shelves is how gentle yet hydrating they are for baby’s skin. Enriched with ¼ moisturising cream, Baby Dove products go beyond gentleness to replenish essential nutrients and deliver 24 hours of moisturisation, leaving your baby’s skin soft and smooth after every wash.
And no nasties either – just pure, moisturising ingredients without parabens, phthalates, dyes or sulphates. Plus, they leave your hands and skin feeling extra soft and smooth when using them on your little one.
Three Steps to Baby Skincare Perfection
1. Start with Rich Moisture Shampoo
Once you’ve got their warm bath ready, wrap your little one in the gentle embrace of Baby Dove Rich Moisture Shampoo which delicately cleanses your baby’s fine hair while nourishing the scalp.
As your little one gets older, they will start to recognise the sound of the bath and the calming closeness that comes with it.
2. Move on to Rich Moisture Body Wash
Add Baby Dove body wash to their bath to gently cleanse their skin and all the little rolls and wrinkles of baby sweetness. It gently cleanses without stripping away natural oils, leaving skin feeling soft and cared for.
3. Finish off with Rich Moisture Lotion
Seal in the magic of hydration with Baby Dove Rich Moisture Lotion. This velvety lotion is lightweight and non-greasy, leaving behind a delicate softness and protecting and moisturising your little one’s skin for 24 hours.
Baby Dove Takes the Guesswork out of Baby Skincare
Some babies have clear, perfect, easy-to-maintain skin from day one. Most, however, will experience a few blemishes as their body adapts to life outside the womb. It’s always a good idea to choose products that are hypoallergenic and extra moisturising to reduce any risks of dryness, redness or eczema. Not only do newborns need gentle and hydrating care, toddlers up to 3 years old may also need extra loving and care for their skin. The good news is, since Baby Dove is designed to hydrate and cleanse the most sensitive infant skin, children up to 3 years old can definitely enjoy the soft and smooth skin Baby Dove brings too.
Why is a Baby’s Skin so Sensitive?Â
There are a few reasons for this:
1. HIGHER PH LEVELS:Â Baby’s skin has a higher pH than adult skin, making it more alkaline. When the skin’s PH becomes too alkaline, it can lead to moisture loss and thus, dryness.
2. FEWER SWEAT GLANDS: Babies have fewer functional sweat glands at birth, which means they can overheat more quickly, making them more prone to heat rash, sweat rash and overall redness.
3. LESS SEBUM: Babies produce less sebum, the natural oil that keeps skin moisturised, making them prone to dryness. This is why hydration is especially crucial in the early months.
4. THIN SKIN: Many people don’t know this, but a newborn’s skin is about 30% thinner than that of an adult, making it more vulnerable to irritants and environmental factors.
FUN FACTS: While it’s thinner than adult skin, newborn skin is also pumped up with collagen which is why baby skin is so plump and super squishy. Plus, baby’s skin has a natural ability to heal quickly, meaning minor cuts and scrapes generally recover faster compared to adult skin.
