Instead of mixing baby oil with baking soda, try a simple routine designed to keep your skin hydrated.
What You Need
- A gentle fragrance-free facial cleanser.
- A fragrance-free moisturizer containing glycerin or ceramides.
- A broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
- A small amount of mineral-oil-based baby oil, if your skin tolerates it.
Step-by-Step Application
Step 1: Cleanse your face
Wash your face using lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser. Avoid scrubbing.
Step 2: Pat your skin dry
Use a clean, soft towel. Leave your skin slightly damp.
Step 3: Apply moisturizer
Apply a small amount of fragrance-free moisturizer containing glycerin or ceramides. These ingredients help maintain skin hydration.
Step 4: Use baby oil if needed
If your skin is very dry and you tolerate mineral oil, apply a tiny amount over your moisturizer to help reduce moisture loss.
Step 5: Protect your skin
In the morning, finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
4. Five Ingredients That Can Support Healthy-Looking Skin
1. Hyaluronic acid
Helps attract and retain water, temporarily improving skin hydration and the appearance of fine lines.
2. Niacinamide
Can help support the skin barrier, improve uneven skin tone, and reduce the appearance of some dark spots.
3. Glycerin
A humectant that attracts water and helps keep skin hydrated.
4. Ceramides
Help maintain the skin’s protective barrier and reduce moisture loss.
5. Retinol
A vitamin A derivative that can improve the appearance of fine wrinkles and uneven skin texture over time. It may cause irritation, so introduce it gradually. Avoid retinoids during pregnancy unless your clinician specifically advises otherwise.
