Since you can’t just hop in a time machine, ensuring that you moisturise morning and night is the best way to help. You may want to try a moisturiser containing hyaluronic acid, a substance that the body naturally produces and which binds water to the skin. As we age, our natural levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, so it’s a good idea to add a moisturising hyaluronic acid cream to your skin care routine(2). Try Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion with Hyaluronic Acid or Rich Hydrating Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid.
And when you moisturise your face, don’t forget your neck. While you don’t need a separate product for this area (your facial moisturiser should do the job), it is important to keep your neck moisturised to help prevent lines and wrinkles that are more visible on dry, aging skin.

dermatitis is a common problem, affecting an estimated 1 out of 10 babies(1). The symptoms are dry, scaly, red patches on your baby’s scalp and face (especially the cheeks), that may spread to her arms and legs, and that normally appear when the baby turns 2 or 3 months old(2)(3). Don’t be alarmed though – even if you think your little one has eczema, the problem is very treatable, and many babies simply outgrow it.

People used to think that babies were born with fully developed skin, but it turns out that this thinking is wrong. We now know that your baby’s skin is thinner than adult skin, with a skin barrier that is still developing and with a tendency to lose water faster than adult skin(4).
All of this together leaves baby skin more vulnerable to dryness and bacteria, which then leads to conditions like baby eczema(5). It has also been found that there may be a hereditary component; if mom and dad have eczema, baby is more likely to get eczema as well(6).

After bathing, apply a gentle, irritant-free baby moisturiser with colloidal oatmeal. This helps to improve the skin barrier function and retain moisture in your baby’s skin(7). We recommend a soothing moisturiser like Cetaphil Baby Eczema Soothing Lotion.
Dress for comfort
Choose loose clothes made of cotton to prevent your baby’s skin rubbing too much against her clothes and becoming irritated. And be sure to use a mild, fragrance-free detergent when washing(8).
Address the itch
Baby eczema can be very itchy, even preventing some babies from sleeping. Your baby may end up scratching the dry patches, making the rash worse or even leading to infection. That’s why it’s really important to try and alleviate the itch by using a gentle moisturising lotion with itch-soothing ingredients(9). Also, be sure to prevent harmful scratching by trimming your baby’s nails and using mittens(10).
Check the ingredients
While herb and plant-based products have become popular even in baby care, extracts and fragrances that are present in these cleansers and lotions can be irritating. Instead, choose products that are especially designed for sensitive baby skin.
Give your baby short baths
Give your baby short, 10-minute baths with lukewarm water – aim for 100°F/38°C(12) – using gentle cleansers made specifically for delicate baby skin. When done, pat dry with a clean towel, and remember to use a baby moisturiser or baby oil to help lock in moisture.
Check the heat and humidity
Heat can be a stressor, and can cause baby eczema or atopic dermatitis to flare up. Be sure that your baby isn’t covered in too many blankets, and that the temperature in her room is comfortable. Around 65°F (18°C) is ideal(14). Some parents also opt for a humidifier in their baby’s room to add moisture to the air and hydrate thirsty skin(15).
Consider calling a doctor
If symptoms get worse, and especially if blisters and a yellowish crust appear on your baby’s rashes, it may be time to call a doctor. Baby eczema can sometimes lead to infection, which may require antibiotics(16).
Remember that baby eczema, while it can be upsetting to see on your infant, is very common, and is one of the most treated skin conditions among babies. With these steps above, you’ll help your baby feel more comfortable and ease her symptoms.

If you pay any attention to skincare labels, you might be familiar with the terms ‘non-comedogenic’, ‘hypoallergenic’, and ‘fragrance-free’. After all, dermatologists have been recommending products with these attributes for years. But if you’re just starting a
skincare routine or are still at a loss as to what these terms mean, here’s a quick breakdown:

Open comedones are more commonly known as blackheads, while closed comedones are typically referred to as whiteheads.
Non-comedogenic products are usually recommended to people who have oily or acne-prone skin. These products tend to have a lighter texture or less oily ingredients to prevent pores from becoming blocked.
It’s important to know, however, that while non-comedogenic products cater to people with acne problems, it is not a guarantee that your skin will never break out again. While non-comedogenic products aren’t a silver bullet, it’s still a good idea to seek them out, especially if you have a tendency to break out. Treat the non-comedogenic label as a helpful guideline(1).

A ‘hypoallergenic’ label serves to indicate that certain products have been formulated to be less likely to cause allergic reactions. For example, many hypoallergenic products eliminate common allergens.
The hypoallergenic label can be helpful to people with sensitive skin or who are prone to skin irritation. However, it’s important to know that hypoallergenic doesn’t necessarily mean allergy-proof(2). If you tend to suffer from allergies, it may be a good idea to first test new products on a small patch on your forearm to see if you get an allergic reaction.

These terms aren’t interchangeable. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ‘fragrance-free’ simply means no fragrance is added.
‘Unscented’, on the other hand, means a fragrance is mixed in to either cover an unpleasant smell or make it seem devoid of any scent. So, just because a product has no obvious scent, doesn’t mean it’s safe for people who are sensitive to fragrances(3). If you’re one of these people, check the label carefully.

three Australians being diagnosed with the condition by the time they are 70 years old. [1] Skin cancers also make up around 80 per cent of newly diagnosed cancers each year.[1]
Skin cancer is caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, in the form of ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Each time skin is exposed to UV radiation, changes take place in the structure and function of our skin cells. With each exposure, the damage becomes worse until over time, our skin may become permanently damaged.

Skin cancer is mostly related to the number of severe sunburns, particularly during childhood. However, your lifetime exposure can also increase your long-term risk of skin cancer, which is why it’s so important to protect skin from a young age through adequate sun care.
Fortunately, skin cancer is largely preventable by protecting your skin from UV radiation. Using sunscreen is one way to do this. Sunscreens work by filtering out these UV rays by either absorbing them or reflecting them, thereby preventing your skin from their harmful effects.

Sunburn is related to the levels of UV radiation, not the sun’s heat. While you can see and feel the sun, you can’t detect UV radiation, which is why you can still get burned on a dull day or a cool day.
The amount of UV radiation from the sun is dependent upon factors such as time of year, time of day, cloud cover, reflective surfaces (for example, water and snow), altitude and closeness to the equator.
UV levels are rated according to their intensity with 0 being low, and 11+ being extreme. A UV rating of 3 is considered to be moderate. In Australia, UV levels are generally highest between 10am and 3pm and are usually higher in summer than they are in winter.
