4 Visible Signs In Your Baby's Skin That Guarantee He's Getting The Right Care
Everything about your little baby is delicate, right from his tiny head down to his cute little toes. But the most delicate of all is something that doesn’t strike us immediately: your baby’s skin! Science has proved that babies have skin that is so delicate it loses moisture up to five times faster than adult skin. This means it is very easy for their skin to develop problems that can lead to discomfort, irritation and crying spells. And this can happen despite the best precautions from our end.
So, how can you find out for sure if your baby’s skin is healthy or not? As per doctors, there are four visible signs that you can spot in your baby’s skin to ascertain that it’s healthy. All you have to do is keep track of these signs and take corrective action when needed.
We have consolidated the signs for you below. In case any of these signs is missing in your baby, just follow the solutions to set things right again:
1. His Skin Feels Hydrated and Soft to Touch, Even After a Bath
The clearest sign of good skin health in babies is soft and supple skin. When your baby’s skin feels soft to touch, it indicates that there is sufficient moisture and no risk of dehydration. You should ensure to check for moisturisation a number of times during the day, especially after your baby has a bath. Many babies whose skin otherwise feels soft, tend to rapidly lose moisture after bath-time, mainly due to the soap and hot water. This dryness can lead to skin irritation and make your baby cranky, or even averse to taking a bath.
What to do: The simple solution is to moisturise your baby’s skin more often, especially during and after a bath, and before bed-time.
When giving your baby a bath, use a nourishing soap like the Baby Dove Rich Moisture Bathing Bar. This bathing bar has 1/4th moisturising cream and doesn’t strip the skin of its moisture content. It is also pH neutral which helps maintain the natural pH balance of your baby’s skin and prevents dryness and irritation. By replenishing essential nutrients lost during cleansing, baby skin stays soft, nourished, and delicately scented. After the bath, ensure to re-hydrate your baby’s skin by applying a gentle and hydrating body lotion. The Baby Dove Rich Moisture Baby Lotion is very soft on the skin and has a mild fragrance that babies love. It gently moisturises baby’s skin for 24 hours and soothes dry skin from the very first use. You will notice that it provides superior moisturisation and keeps your baby’s skin extra soft.
2. He Is Free of Rashes and Skin Breakouts
It is common for babies to develop some acne in early childhood, mainly due to the pregnancy hormones that got passed onto them from you. This is nothing to worry about and clears with time. But apart from this, healthy baby skin is free of rashes and breakouts and looks soft, clean and fresh. There’s a reason, after all, we as adults keep aspiring to have baby-soft skin!
What to do: If your baby’s skin frequently breaks out into rashes, spots or bumps, you should consult a paediatrician and get appropriate treatment. It could be due to a skin problem such as eczema, dermatitis or an allergy.
3. The Bum-Area Is Soft and Free of Redness
While your baby’s facial skin is the most tell-tale when it comes to overall skin health, the bum area is also a good indicator. This is because this region is very prone to irritation and infection from a wet diaper, a food allergy, or increased humidity. Check that the diaper area doesn’t look redder than other parts of the skin. Healthy baby skin will be fresh, soft and without rashes even in the diaper/nappy region.
What to do: Make sure you change your baby’s diapers frequently, even when they have not been soiled. In case your baby is suffering from a diaper rash, apply a generous coating of Baby Dove Diaper Rash Cream. This cream provides instant comfort and immediate protection from the very first use by neutralising pH in seconds. It also creates a protective barrier on the skin so your baby will be protected from the causes of irritation. You will also notice that the Baby Dove Diaper Rash Cream is easier to spread and clean compared to other creams.
4. His Skin Can Deal With the Changing Season
Finally, the litmus test for skin health in babies is when the seasons change. During winter, we take special care to keep our little ones cozy, warm and moisturised. But when winter slowly gives way to summer, the fluctuations in temperature and the irritants in the air can pose a number of skin problems. Many babies experience dryness in the skin, allergies and rashes at this time. This is also when skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis flare up, so you need to be especially on your guard if your baby suffers from any of these conditions.
What to do: Do not cut back on moisturising because the air is now more humid than it was in the winter. Babies, with their thin and delicate skin, still tend to lose moisture and require the extra moisturisation to stay hydrated. Also make sure you do not overdress your child to protect him from seasonal illness. His skin needs to breathe as well, now that the temperature and humidity are both rising.
So mommy, does your little one’s skin show these signs of good health? We are sure that your care and attention will keep him glowing and healthy, come wind or rain! After all, you are the best caregiver your baby can have and there’s no one else who knows him better.
Just keep extending your gentle and moisturising care to your baby and his delicate skin will remain happy. If you face a persistent skin concern with your baby, please don’t hesitate in consulting the paediatrician. Read more

10 Gmail Hacks and Tricks That Will Make Your Life Easier
Emails are some of the most important modes of communication in our world today. Not only are they essential for professional and personal matters, but they are part of our social life as well. Yet, they can also be frustrating at times, which is why there is a real need to understand the U/I for most mailing portals. One of the widely used portals in the world today is the google mailing portal called 'Gmail'.
Gmail is one of the easiest and most interactive email portals in the world today. It has more than a million users worldwide. Yet, most of these users are unaware of its really cool features. These features can make an already easy mailing system a lot easier. Some of these features are time-saving and will leave you hoping you knew them earlier. To better understand these awesome features, we decided to create a list of 10 amazing hacks and tips to use Gmail.
Quick Gmail Tips and Tricks That You Should Know
While using an email portal like Gmail, it can be intimidating to attempt using the advanced tips and tricks. To better understand the awesome features google has on offer, we decided to create a list of 10 amazing hacks and tips for Gmail.
1. Unsend
One of the handiest Gmail tricks and secrets is the ability to unsend an email. We’ve all been in a position where we sent an email to the wrong person or in a rage. It may be an email you sent by accident or forgot to attach a document. This feature is something Gmail provides its users to combat the permanent nature of a regretful or accidental mail. Simply go to settings on the upper right side of the inbox (the gear-like icon), enable unsend, choose the time span in which you can unsend (between 5-30 seconds) and save the changes.
2. Tabs and Type of Inbox
Thanks to this hack, your inbox will not be an unorganized mess! Gmail has introduced inbox tabs to their mailing system. This means you can enable up to 5 tabs in your inbox. These include primary, social, promotions, updates and forums. Additionally, you can change the way your inbox presents itself. This means you can choose to have either the standard mails first or the important ones first or the unread ones. Simply go to settings, click on inbox, choose your settings and save changes.
3. Signatures
Adding a custom touch to every single email or signing off on every mail can be exhausting and can waste a lot of time. Adding a signature will save you time, add a custom end to your email with all the information you require and will make your emails seem much more professional. To do this, simply click on settings, in the general tab and scroll down to enable signatures. Add your customized signature text or image and save the changes.
4. Confidential Emails
Did you know that Gmail values your private emails to the extent that they have a feature that does not allow others to forward confidential emails? It gets better. The same feature also allows emails to self-destruct after a set time. This near spy-level feature was added to the latest update of Gmail to ensure your official emails, private interactions and work reports don’t get into the wrong hands. To use this, while sending an email simply click on the padlock icon near the send button. Turn on the self-destruct option with your preferences and then send.
5. Quote Previous Emails
A really cool feature of Gmail is the ability to quote other emails. This can be handy when sending reminders. Simply click on the quotes icon near the send button, choose the mail you want to quote and then close quotes, finish up your mail and simply send.
6. Markers and Stars
Another awesome organizational tool! Everyone knows that you have archived stars, but did you know you could choose multiple types of stars too? In addition to that, using markers adds even more of an organized look to your inbox. No longer will your email portal be a cluttered mess. Using markers and stars will help you locate your mails with ease, and will make your life all the better.
7. Grammarly
This is a tool that goes great with Gmail. You can download the Grammarly app from the Grammarly website. It has a widget that can be enabled on your email automatically. This ensures all your emails are up to professional standards by correcting all those little grammatical errors you might commit while typing fast.
8. Two-step Verification for Reading Mails
Sending confidential emails with sensitive content? Gmail has you covered. With the confidential or self-destruct option, you can also use a two-step authentication option to ensure that nobody but the person who the mail is intended for, gets to read it. Click on the padlock near the send button, choose the two-step authentication option, set it up and share their phone number. The reader will have to enter the code sent to that number to access the mail.
9. Customized Mail Keyboard Shortcuts
Gmail has a really cool feature that allows you to customize your keyboard for mailing shortcuts. This option saves you time on entering commands or manually entering the needed information. All you have to do is set this up by clicking on settings, go to the keyboard shortcuts tab and set the shortcuts you prefer.
10. Vacation Responder
One of the greatest benefits of a Gmail account is that can now choose to disable incoming emails and set a vacation responder. This is a feature Google introduced to help better incorporate work/ life balance in your everyday life. To enable this feature, follow the steps below.
Click on the settings tab
Scroll down to the vacation responder tab
Choose the dates of your vacation
Create a subject
Choose the font and format of your message
Draft a message
Save changes
