Washing & Bathing

There are a lot of things to consider when you’re trying to find the best bubble bath for your kids, so the best one for your family may be different from everyone else’s.

If your kids have sensitive skin or eczema, you may consider a bath emollient or a range designed for kids with delicate skin.

Some of our favourites include Childs Farm and the Junior ranges from E45 and Oilatum.

On the other hand, if your kids’ skin can handle anything, you may want to think about what could encourage them to take a bath in the first place.

In this case, bubble baths with fun colours, scents, lots of bubbles, and colourful packaging could be just what you need to persuade your mucky pups to clean up their act.

Bath oils are designed to be added to your bath water to give your skin an extra boost of hydration.

They can be highly beneficial for people who suffer with dry skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis, as long as they’re from trusted dermatological brands like E45 and QV.

Scented bath oils can also provide a luxurious spa-like experience, but you should be careful using fragranced products if you’ve got sensitive skin.

If you have eczema, dermatitis or another dry skin condition, you may find that taking a hot bath or shower dries out your skin, rather than hydrating it.

In these cases, we often recommend emollient bath oils, which form a protective barrier over your skin to keep moisture in and protect it from irritation.

We all crave a hot bath sometimes, especially during the cold weather or if we’re feeling a little under the weather - but are there benefits to them?

You shouldn’t have your bath too hot as it can burn and damage your skin, but a warm bath can increase the oxygen and flow of your blood, allowing you to breathe deeper and slower, especially when there’s steam.

Additionally, it can kill bacteria, improve immunity, and relieve cold and flu symptoms.

Bath emollients are perfectly safe to use in your bath or shower, and they can be essential if you’re managing a dry skin condition.

However, there are a couple of things you should consider, just in case.

For starters, emollients can make your bath or shower surfaces slippery, so you should be careful when you’re getting in or out, so you don’t slip and hurt yourself.
