In this informative video, Dr. Puneet Anand, a renowned pediatrician and neonatologist from Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, discusses the essential role of moisturizers in baby skincare, including lotions, creams, and massage oils. While baby skin often appears soft and flawless, Dr. Anand explains that it is actually more delicate and prone to dryness, making regular moisturization crucial for maintaining its protective barrier and preventing skin issues such as flakiness, eczema, or irritation.
Dr. Anand also addresses a frequently asked question by parents: “If my baby’s skin looks healthy, do they still need a moisturizer?”—emphasizing that prevention is key. He provides valuable guidance on choosing the right type of massage oil, highlighting the importance of selecting mild, dermatologically tested options that support skin hydration without clogging pores or causing irritation.
The video also busts common myths around baby skincare, including misconceptions about natural oils and over-moisturization. Dr. Anand's practical, evidence-based advice helps parents understand how to care for their baby's skin with confidence, ensuring a strong foundation for healthy growth and comfort.
