🚨Diaper changes are serious business! 👶

With multiple diaper changes a day, protecting that delicate skin is NO JOKE.

Here’s my advice:
•Change diapers frequently (every 2-3 hrs minimum)
•Clean gently with fragrance free wipes or warm water
•Apply a zinc oxide or similar barrier cream at EVERY change
•Let that b***y air dry when possible!

When to call in reinforcements (PA/NP/Derm):
🚨 Rash lasting more than 2-3 days despite treatment
🚨 Severe redness, swelling, or sores
🚨 Rash spreading beyond the diaper area
🚨 Signs of infection (pus, oozing, fever)
🚨 Baby seems in pain or the rash is getting worse

Most diaper rashes clear up with consistent barrier cream and frequent changes, but don’t wait too long if it’s not improving!

Your healthcare provider can help rule out yeast infections, bacterial infections, or other skin conditions.

Skin is your baby’s first defense - let’s protect it! 🛡️

The MOST important message I want to share is that early intervention with scarring is the BEST way to control and prevent it. ❤️

👩🏼‍⚕️In Derm, we care SO much about our patients—making them feel confident and comfortable in their skin.

If you have kids with acne, please bring them in so we can help to create a skincare plan individualized to their unique skin type.

What questions do you have about acne?! 👇

Just STOP with the fragrance! 😅

Both with kids and adults it’s one of the most common allergens and irritants that we encounter in dermatology.

Some bottles are DECEIVING! They use words like “hypoallergenic” and “gentle” and “for babies” but they still have fragrance😑

Don’t be fooled by the common brands either… Cetaphil, CeraVe, Dove… they all make products with and without fragrance so you have to check the label!

What’s your favorite fragrance-free product?!

👉What I look for in kids skincare ingredients

As a Derm PA, I spend a LOT of time reading ingredient labels—both in clinic and in the skincare aisle. And I know how overwhelming it can feel when you’re just trying to find something safe and simple for your kid.

Here’s the truth: Not all “kids” skincare is actually formulated for kids.

Some products market to children but contain ingredients better suited for adult skin—or worse, ingredients that can irritate developing skin barriers. So let me break it down…

✅ WHAT TO LOOK FOR:

💚Gentle surfactants like coco-glucoside or decyl glucoside (effective cleansing without stripping)
💚Ceramides (support barrier development)
💚Glycerin (simple, effective humectant)
💚Dimethicone or petrolatum (safe occlusives that lock in moisture)
💚Zinc oxide or titanium dioxide (mineral SPF that sits on skin, not absorbed)

❌ WHAT TO AVOID:

🙈Fragrance or parfum (common irritant, unnecessary)
🙉Essential oils (natural ≠ gentle; many are sensitizing)
🙊Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) (harsh surfactant that disrupts barrier)
🙈Active ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums (not appropriate for developing skin)
🙊Dyes or artificial colors (serve no purpose, potential irritants)

🚩 RED FLAG CLAIMS: If the label says “anti-aging,” “brightening,” “glow-boosting,” or “wrinkle-preventing”—put it back. These are adult skincare claims marketing to kids who don’t need (and shouldn’t use) those ingredients.

🟢 GREEN FLAG CLAIMS: Look for “pediatric dermatologist-tested,” “hypoallergenic,” “fragrance-free,” “pH-balanced,” and “barrier support.” These signal the product was actually formulated with developing skin in mind.

The bottom line: Kid skin needs protection, not correction.

Their skin doesn’t need fixing, treating, or “improving.” It needs gentle cleansing, barrier support, and daily SPF. That’s it.

Save this carousel so you have it next time you’re standing in the skincare aisle trying to decode labels. You’ve got this 💙

Is this a good night time routine for an 8yo kid??

Simple routine ✅
Gentle products✅
Not tear-free 🚫

*Also avoid the cleanser if allergic to propylene glycol*

These products have safe ingredients and are appropriate for a mature 8yo. 👧🧒

If there is any concern that your child could get this in their eyes, then go with a tear-free baby or kids formulation instead!

Thank you for continuing to show us better ways to make the beauty industry sustainable🙌

This one calls for a HAPPY DANCE 💃🕺🏼

Most people do not know that many of these small cosmetic products (even if they are recyclable)end up in landfills!🤯

The sorting machines are just not capable of catching these super small packages, like mascara and lip glosses… so I’m super excited to hear about a way that we can recycle these beauty items responsibly!

Turn this moisturizer into a fun mask this Fall or Winter and let your girls (or boys!) enjoy a spa day with Mommy! 🧖‍♀️

1. Grab some Avene Cicalfate+ from the store 🧴
2. Gently cleanse your skin 💦
3. Creme comes out white and looks just like a mask, so layer it on for extra hydration! (Safe and fun for kids)
4. Add cucumbers, a movie and a snack! 🍿

And enjoy your spa night! 💁🏼‍♀️✨

**no need to wash off, just leave on for deep moisturizing over night!😘

This does not apply to the kids who are covered in mud🤣 They will need ALL the cleanser!

Use this simple hack to save on cleanser, and keep your kids skin from getting dry and irritated!

Some people will use this only in the winter when their skin is more at risk for dryness but it’s actually a good routine year-round!

Even eczema patients can benefit from this “soap sparing technique”!
