Cold dry winters do take a major toll on all of our skin and heating the house without having a humidifier is the major cause of dry itchy skin.
I don't shampoo my girls but twice a month in the winter, and then when I do, I always give them a hot oil treatment. I also buy concentrated shampoo so I can dilute it down more in winter than in summer, and finally rinse and rinse and rinse. If not rinsed thoroughly, it will dry the skin even further. Then always use a good conditioner.
Next, make sure your baby is getting the Omega fatty acids in his diet each day. |
