As the crisp autumn air rolls in and the leaves begin to change, there’s something undeniably cozy about fall. But with the drop in temperature comes another seasonal shift — your skin (and your baby’s!) might start feeling a little dry, sensitive, and in need of extra care.

Whether you’re sipping a warm cup of tea while your little one naps or bundling up for a walk in the cool breeze, it’s the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine with products and habits that nourish, protect, and hydrate.

Both you and your baby deserve the gentlest, safest, and most effective skincare — especially during the changing seasons. That’s why we’ve put together our favorite fall skincare tips to keep your family’s skin soft, happy, and glowing all season long. 

1. Hydration Is Key 

Fall air is naturally drier, which can leave your skin feeling tight and dehydrated. Babies are especially sensitive since their skin barrier is still developing.

• For moms: Opt for rich, nourishing moisturizers that lock in hydration without clogging pores. Look for organic ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, and aloe vera.
• For babies: Use a gentle, fragrance-free cream designed for delicate skin. Keeping your baby’s skin moisturized after baths helps prevent dryness and irritation.

Our Baby Eczema Balm doubles as a moisturizer for dry patches and protects sensitive skin from seasonal changes — perfect for both mama and baby! 

2. Switch to Gentle, Organic Skincare 

Harsh cleansers and heavily fragranced products can strip the skin of natural oils, which is the last thing you want in colder months. For moms and babies alike, fall is the season to simplify and go gentle.

• Choose organic, plant-based skincare products that soothe rather than irritate.
• Avoid products with alcohol, artificial fragrances, and sulfates — these can dry out your skin even more.

3. Protect Your Skin Outdoors 

Even though the sun feels softer in fall, UV rays can still affect your skin — and cold winds can make dryness worse.

• For moms: Use a lightweight, mineral-based SPF daily to prevent sun damage and premature aging.
• For babies: Babies under 6 months should avoid direct sunlight, so keep them cozy in breathable layers and soft hats to protect their skin naturally.

A gentle, hydrating barrier balm can also shield cheeks, lips, and hands from chilly winds. 

4. Make Bath Time Extra Gentle 

Hot showers and bubble baths may feel tempting in cooler weather, but they can strip natural oils from your skin and your baby’s.

1. Keep bathwater lukewarm rather than hot.
2. Use gentle, non-drying cleansers formulated for sensitive skin, try our Oatmeal Bath Treatment for eczema flare ups or if your baby is suffering with dry skin (parents can use it too!)
3. Always follow up with a nourishing moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.

5. Create a Cozy Self-Care Ritual 

Fall is the season of slowing down — and your skincare routine can become a relaxing moment of self-care. Take a few minutes each evening to:

• Massage a rich cream or body oil into your skin.
• Apply a soothing balm to your baby’s delicate spots.
• Breathe in the natural scents of plant-based products and let the cozy vibes sink in.

Your skin — and your little one’s — will thank you.
