The Oilatum Daily Junior range is a set of skincare products from Oilatum, the dry skin specialists, but which is specifically designed for babies and small children with dry skin. I have been using the range on both Eliza and Sebastian and it has kept their dreaded dry skin at bay. In fact I recently ran out and Sebby started getting patches of dry skin almost immediately.
Oilatum Daily have teamed up with the British Skin Foundation and have listened to mums of children with dry skin in order to create the Oilatum Comfort Skin Tips, 10 easy-to-follow pieces of advice which can help parents to manage the problem of dry skin every day.
You can read the full set of tips at oilatum.co.uk/daily along side some cute animations. Here are some examples:
Tip 1. Not too hot!When it comes to bath time, try to make sure the bath water is just warm, not too hot. Hot water can aggravate your child’s delicate skin.
Tip 4. Pat don’t rub! Wrap your child in a soft, fluffy towel – be careful to pat the skin dry rather than rubbing as this can affect dry, delicate skin.
Tip 9. Wash clothes and bedding with non-biological products that are kind to dry, sensitive skin and rinse clothes twice to be extra sure that all traces of soap residue have disappeared.
Oilatum Daily also comes with a satisfaction guarantee – Try any Oilatum Daily product for 14 days and if not satisfied get your money back.
The team at Oilatum Daily have set my readers a challenge – share your own tips and recommendations for little ones with dry and sensitive skin and you could win a £50 Boots Voucher!

We were told not to bath Sienna every night, go for every other night instead and it didn’t dry her skin out and therefore her bit of eczema cleared up! Will definitely be doing it next time round too x
I use Samaritan Olive oil on my kids as it really softens the kids skin
My eldest daughter suffers from dry and sensitive skin. My tips are to put a little Oilatum in the bath water (luke warm) an then when she comes out I pat dry her with a towel and then apply an oil-based cream. I also find dressing her in cotton cloting helps too.
My son has eczema and dry skin and we use Oilatum bath & body wash, shampoo and soap. Does not irritate his skin. When skin is dry put on Zero cream to moisturise
Middle man has sensitive skin and we use Oilatium Junior Bath additive which has helped him lots
Touch wood we’ve been really lucky with our daughter. She had bad dry skin for a few weeks, so we used olive oil like the doctor recommended. When that didn’t shift it we ended up using a little bit of exfoliating scrub and moisturising with E45 cream and it cleared right up.
we moisturise skin every nappy change and after bath
My friend with eczema always puts porridge oats in her bath when her skin is dry and itchy
Aveeno cream is good. Thank You For Being Comper Friendly 🙂
moisturise skin
coconut oil seems to work wonders on dry, sensitive skin and as an added bonus, if you buy organic, is all natural and safe for little ones x
My son has eczema and I have psoriasis, both a nightmare to live with! I recommend moisturising straight from the bath or shower, it helps lock in moisture.
Aveeno is fab
I only use Oilatum in baths and pat dry after a bath or shower as rubbing can damage delicate skin
Try and use natural materials so they are kind to their skin and their skin can breathe specially in the heat.
I know it sounds a bit mad but we’ve found if the eczema is bad missing a bath out and just having a quick wash by the sink helps the patches of eczema. Sometimes getting it too damp makes it worse. If that makes sense.
Moisturise every day and persist with telling kids to “stop scratching” one day it gets better!
I always go for the olive oil, which seems to work!
Kids don’t need to bathe daily, every other day is fine. Bathing dries out the skin.
Don’t rub with a towel, pat dry and massage in a little baby oil (don’t use too much). For overnight use Lanolin, if the skin is cracking.Ensure the children eat plenty of fruit and vegetables – you’ll be surprised how much this affects the skin. All this worked for me with my little ones 🙂
dry them carefully so as not to worsen any damaged skin
Don’t use harsh chemicals and products on their skin
Tap dry, not rub dry as it’s kinder to skin, and use SLS free products. I’ve had sensitive skin for years and just found out about this and it’s a game changer. My neice and nephew are now using SLS free products and their skin is so much better too!!
use a body oil to keep skin supple – a humidifier in the bedroom works well too
Coconut Oil
To be careful what washing powder you use and add Oilatum in baths.
Natural beauty all the way – avoid soaps, bubble baths, or anything with SLS’s (opt for dry-brushing, oatmeal baths, and things like OCM instead of face washes and no-poo to avoid shampoos etc. getting into the bath water), opt for natural oils like coconut oil to moisturize.
I have found that sticking with non bio washing powder and natural materials for baby to wear has helped a lot
Don’t use a lot of heavy scented products in the bath.
We use coconut oil on our daughter as its natural . It leaves her skin lovely and soft with a gorgeous subtle scent too.
I always use Johnsons bath products, good for young skin and highly recommended.
Sudocrem works for most things I find, it’s a wonder cream!
we use johnsons products 🙂
Moisturise their skin
I’ve always used Johnsons products, its a well known name
Don’t let baby have a bath too often as it dries out the skin even more. A flannel wash is sufficent most of the time x

Put some Oiltum in the bath water for extra skin soothing x
Put some Oiltum in the bath water for extra skin soothing x
Dress them in soft fabrics like cotton.
Use unperfumed products on your baby if they have sensitive skin.
Well all babies have sensitive skin, but you should buy and use non-perfumed products. Plus you should pay close attention when cleaning between their folds and the palms of their hands.
E45 works wonders
My Dr told me to limit the number of baths given to the kids to stop their skin losing too many oils and drying out. We also Oilatum to the bath to help.

Try and use products with as many natural ingredients as possible
I’ve found the if you avoid soaps & creams with perfume that it helps prevent irritation

i swear by using aveeno cream.
We always but a bit of baby oil in the bath .
i put vasaline on my daughters cheeks and lips in winter so they dont dry out in the wind

Don’t bath them too often, and steer clear of artificu=ial fabrics next to the skin
Wash your face with warm water then use cold water to close your pores then moisturise 🙂 I personally use Nivea face cream
Unperfumed products. Though children require cleansing / cleaning consider frequency, as some products can irritate or dry out the skin. Oil can be nourishing for the skin, such as baby oil. I prefer to use a little on the skin after bathing or showering etc.
Put baby oil on them before they get out of the bath (being very careful ofc), this will help to lock in the moisture x
Don’t bathe every day and moisturise lots.
Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise …. make it a fun game in the mornings and bedtimes. Warm the cream in your hand first, them ask them to do a silly dance whilst u apply…. fun!
Moisturize as much as possible, nappy free time will also help if the eczema is around those areas and bathing with some bath emollient in will help! x

When we moved into our house my little one started having problems with his skin because our water isn’t very good, so I stopped bathing him every night and switched to every other night. His problems cleared up within a week.
Don’t bathe every night and apply a thick layer of cream just before bed
Use aqueous cream
Coconut oil seems to work everytime for the little ones with dry and sensitive skin!
Wipe grubby bits as quickly as possible with a soft cloth dipped in warm water and don’t bath little ones every night.
We avoid using hot water as Hot water removes your natural skin oils more quickly. We find warm water is best for baths.
Limit time in the bath A 5- to 10-minute bath adds moisture to the skin.
I have to say, I’m a fan of E45. Oils (such as olive oil or avocado oil) can also be good.

Don’t bathe them daily and there is no need to constantly use chemical products either.
Nature provides the best answers – try to keep the chemicals to a minimum and go as natural/organic as possible with your products.
I learned to my peril that ‘natural’ isn’t always skin friendly – and that cheap household products (or products containing them) are fab e.g. oats, almond oil. Lack of sleep, and stress, make it worse 🙁
Don’t bathe every day as this washes away the natural oils on the skin.
i swear by using all cotton clothing after a bath use moisturiser and dry with a nice fluffy cotton towel.
Cheap porridge oats in a sock in the bath, squeeze the sock under the tap to the liquid oats out, it makes my babies skin lovely and smooth.
It often helps to pop on plenty moisturizer at bed time, and always apply some after your little ones have came out of the bath or shower, Water can really dry the skin.
Aloe vera gel is very soothing for dry itchy skin.
Little ones have delicate skin so don’t bathe them too often.

Use baby oil when their skin is still wet & pat dry rather than rubbing.
E45 works wonders
After a bath or shower use baby oil, to rub into your skin.
Carry on the moisturizer routine even when it improves so it doesnt flare up straight away again!
Do not bath them every day, and moisturise well, even if their skin does not look dry, it can soon come back. E45 is great stuff.
Like me, my son Tommy has sensitive skin and is also prone to eczema. My advice would be to alternate bath time to every other night ensuring that the water is not too hot. Unfortunately bubbles of any kind are banished so we make sure there are plenty of bath toys to compensate. I also find that it is beneficial if you can maintain a constant temperature – I have found that both my sons and my own eczema is aggravated by the central heating. I try to give him a dressing gown if he is cold as opposed to turning on the heating, although in the depth of winter it is not an option! We have been using Oilatum for some time and are pleased with the results – though do remember to rinse bath thoroughly to ensure the are no slips!
Always pat kids try after a shower or bath
We have Oilatum for the bath on prescription and I also use Aveeno and coconut oil on my 3 boys.x

Never use biological detergent or fabric conditioner,non bio works just as well and is much gentler on the skin x
Only use 100% natural products
bath oil in bath
After using baby wipes on sensitive bums we use a a dry wipe similar to what they use in ambulances to dry skin and then put on the nappy. Never suffered with nappy rash since. My sister who’s a paramedic told us this trick. On my sensitive skin E45 is fantastic.
Drop of johnsons in the bath water love the smell too

Lush dream cream is amazing
Nivea was used in the burns unit in hospitals, don’t know if it still is, but I have always used this and encountered no problems.
We use fragrance-free everything as much as we possibly can. I moisturise my son’s skin several times a day and we use Oilatum & Aveeno products which we find to be the best. My son suffers from terribly dry skin and bad eczema. I don’t give him a bath every night either, unless of course he really needs it – we were advised by the doctor only to bath him once or twice a week to avoid drying his skin out, but that just isn’t practical so I bath him every other night instead.
Dont give baby long baths and pat dry skin rather than rub it.
Just bathe baby every other night apply a generous amount of moisturiser after each bath also when drying always using a patting motion rather than rubbing

I’ve only ever used water wipes on my son. I don’t use any products on him except dr bronners castile soap & coconut oil as moisteriser. He has never had nappy rash & always had perfect skin! 🙂
Don’t bath your baby every night, they don’t need it as they don’t get overly dirty. Also don’t be dragged in to buying all the beauty products labeled for babies because they aren’t necessary. Some warm water, a natural baby wash and a natural baby sponge or 100% cotton flannel – that’s all you need.
Always have a tube of E45 in your handbag for emergencies and wash their clothes with non-bio detergents to stop their skin getting irritated.
Ensure that skin is dried throughly and in the creases.

Don’t bathe too often and olive oil 🙂
my Little girl has dry and sensitive skin, don’t bath your child every night as it washes of the skins natural oils, making skin even dryer. I have found putting coconut oil onto the dry skin or eczema clears it up lovely 🙂
I tend to bath my son as little as possible, especially when he wants bubble bath.
