Bubble Bath

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.

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.

A newborn baby shouldn’t get too dirty, so there’s no need to bathe them every day - doing so can actually dry out their skin.

As a general rule, you shouldn't bathe your baby more than 3 times per week, but you can reduce or exceed this amount if you wish - baby’s are unpredictable, after all.

When your baby gets older, they will require more bathing as they explore and play, but this should increase naturally.
