The Right Order to Apply Baby Skincare Products

The Right Order to Apply Baby Skincare Products

Being a parent means figuring out a million little things—like how to keep your baby’s skin happy with all the products out there. I’ll admit, the shelves full of bottles and tubes can make you wonder if there’s a secret code to cracking it. Spoiler: there kind of is! Getting the order right when using baby skincare stuff can make a big difference in keeping your little one’s skin soft, cozy, and safe.

So, what’s the magic routine? Let’s walk through it together, step by step, and get your baby’s skin feeling its best.


TL;DR:

Here’s the gist—cleanse with PureAura Baby Wash, hydrate with their Moisturizing Lotion, smooth on some Baby Face Cream, slap on Sunscreen SPF 30 for outside time, and spritz with Baby Mist to keep things fresh. Easy, right? Now, let’s dig in.


1. Kick Things Off with Cleansing: PureAura Baby Wash

Cleansing’s where it all starts—same for us grown-ups, same for babies. But here’s the deal: you can’t just grab whatever soap’s lying around. Those regular bars or washes are often packed with fake scents and chemicals that can bug your baby’s delicate skin.

Why it’s a big deal: Baby skin’s super thin—like, way thinner than ours—so it soaks stuff up fast and gets irritated easily. I read in the American Academy of Dermatology, 2021 that harsh cleansers can mess up their natural shield, leaving them dry or even itchy with eczema. That’s why we designed PureAura Baby Wash to be a mother’s go-to—it’s gentle, with chamomile and aloe that calm things down while cleaning.

PureTip: Keep bath water lukewarm, not hot. Too steamy, and it sucks the moisture right out.


2. Lock in the Good Stuff: PureAura Baby Moisturizing Lotion

Post-bath, when their skin’s still damp, is prime time to hydrate. PureAura’s Moisturizing Lotion has almond oil and shea butter—fancy, natural goodies that keep the kiddo’s skin soft for hours. Slather it on right after toweling off, and it’s like a little hug for their skin.

Why it matters: Babies lose moisture quicker than us. I read it in the Journal of Pediatrics, 2019 that said slapping on lotion after a bath keeps their skin balanced, especially if it’s sensitive. Dry skin’s no fun for anyone, least of all a baby.

PureTip: Rub it on while they’re still a little wet—it traps the moisture in like a charm.


3. Face Time: PureAura Baby Face Cream

Okay, baby faces? Extra sensitive. The skin there’s thinner than the rest of their body, so it deserves its own special treatment. PureAura Baby Face Cream is a conscious mommy’s easy pick—it’s gentle, keeps dryness away, and doesn’t sting. You can dab it on the little one’s cheeks, and they’re good to go.

Why it’s worth it: Some dermatology folks at National Institute of Dermatology, 2020 pointed out that babies get dry patches or irritation on their faces more often because of that thin skin. This cream’s got natural ingredients that protect without being harsh.

PureTip: Use just a tiny bit and rub it in soft—focus on any rough spots or sun-kissed areas.


4. Shield Up: PureAura Baby Sunscreen SPF 30

Sunscreen isn’t just for beach days—babies need it too. Their skin’s still figuring itself out, so UV rays hit harder. PureAura’s SPF 30 is made for them, blocking both UVA and UVB rays without any fuss. Moms can smear it on the baby’s skin before heading outside, and it’s peace of mind in a tube.

PureTip: Put it on 20 minutes before you step out, and redo it every couple hours.


5. Freshen Up: PureAura Baby Mist

For a little extra love during the day, spritz on PureAura Baby Mist. It’s perfect after playtime or when you’re out and about. Rose water and lavender in there make it smell nice and keep the skin happy without greasiness.

Why it’s cool: A cosmetic science journal from 2018 mentioned mists like this keep hydration going all day. It’s like a quick reset for the baby’s skin when they’re looking a bit blah.

PureTip: Toss it in your diaper bag. You’ll thank me later.


Quick Q&A

Why not just use my stuff on the baby?
Baby skin’s way more fragile—thinner, touchier. Regular products can irritate it fast. PureAura’s line is gentle and baby-safe, no harsh junk.

Sunscreen every day—really?
Yup! UV rays sneak through windows or clouds. If they’re outside, even for a bit, it’s worth it.

How often do I lotion up?
After every bath’s the sweet spot. If their skin’s dry later, just add more. Keep it soft, keep ‘em happy.


Wrapping It Up

Getting a solid skincare routine going for your baby isn’t rocket science, but it does wonders. Cleanse, hydrate, protect, refresh—in that order—and you’ve got a recipe for healthy, snuggly skin. PureAura’s stuff makes it easy. It’s all plant-based, tested by dermatologists, and free of nasty toxins. Mothers that shop at PureAura report to us that their kids’ skins have been loving it— so yours might too!
