• Nursery jelly: a soft petroleum jelly that forms a protective layer on dry or chapped skin.
• Bottom butter: a barrier cream for the nappy area.

Common questions

What is good for a child's dry or ashy skin? Short, lukewarm baths, patting dry, then lotion or butter straight away while skin is still a little damp.

Should I patch test? Yes. Try a small amount on the arm first, especially with fragranced products or eczema-prone skin.

What if the dryness does not improve? Persistent dry, red or itchy skin should be checked by a pharmacist, health visitor or GP.
