When giving your baby a bath do you shampoo their face or do you just use clear water. I am using oatmeal shampoo but don't want to sting her eyes with it. Thanks for your help

I have recently started using Spa Lavish facial scrub and I also use Espree Rain Forrest Facial Cleanser.

I wash Callies head and face with a special facial scrub.

I shampoo his face yes

I have a Vellus measuring bottle that I use when I bathe him its like this one here on the pic, he does not get shampoo in his eyes when I use this, also the shampoo I use does not irritate the eyes (I tested it on myself !) so its ok

!

If you think she will hurt her eyes if some shampoo goes into them then try it on yourself first :P ...
I use Pet Silk shampoo and conditioner, it doesnt irritate the eyes, also Bio Groom Fluffy Puppy shampoo doesnt irritate the eyes.
You have to shampoo the face if not it gets dirty :/ I always shampoo Fido's face.

I do wash Zoe's face, but very carefully.
(I still fear that someday she's going to report me for "waterboarding"

I use a wash cloth with a bit of shampoo

I've been skipping his face when I bathe him. Guess I'd better start doing that then. He's going to LOVE it (not!)

I clean under her eyes before the bath & that ends up washing all of the front of her face, and I know it's tearless. For the rest of her head & sides of her muzzle I use a little shampoo. I use a tear free puppy shampoo, I think it's Hartz actually, & it really agrees with her skin & hair.

BabyGirl Rosie · 07-06-2011, 03:41 PM

It is really important to make sure you are using something that will not burn the eyes. The Spa Facial Scrub was recommended to me by my groomer. Some shampoos are not tear free.

Where do you get these spa facial scrub?

Schooby · 07-06-2011, 04:36 PM

I couldn't find it in any pet stores in my area, so I ordered from Amazon

Amazon.com: Spa Fresh Facial Scrub 8Oz: Kitchen &...
