Product Review - Lotion vs. Olive Oil

When my baby was born, he had very dry and flaky skin. His doctor said it was because he was overdue; others would say it’s because the mother did not drink enough water while she was pregnant.

Dry Skin Products

Lotion - Now that my son is a bit older, in the summer I just use the Johnson & Johnson lotion twice per day after a bath and before bed. 

Olive oil - The olive oil on it own tends to be oily and not as much when mix with the Johnson & Johnson lotion. This combination works best in the winter time when the skin gets dry the most form the harsh cold weather. In the winter, I would apply this combination two times per day before daycare and after daycare.

Whatever the reasons were, I found that the Johnson baby lotion was not working alone, so I decided to mix it with olive oil, so he would still have that baby smell and in just three weeks my baby had nice soft skin.
