Joy McCarthy, holistic nutritionist and founder of Joyous Health, breaks down why less is more when it comes to your baby's skincare routine and what common baby products are actually doing to your child's developing skin.
We cover why cortisone cream pushes inflammation deeper into the body, how over-bathing strips your baby's moisture barrier, which ingredients to avoid in every baby wash and lotion, why "fragrance-free" and "natural" labels can still be misleading, and how to use free tools like the EWG Skin Deep database to vet any product in seconds.
