Moisturising face cream for 6 year olds?

8 replies

DD6 has got a stinging red rash from sweat on her face (especially on the nose, chin and forehead). We tried putting on aloe vera but she said it made it sting even more. We also tried vaseline but it did not help at all.
On the internet it says that moisturising will help but what cream do I put on her face?
We use Johnson's baby lotion on her body in the winter but never on the face. Is it safe to put it on her face?

Aveeno. I use it on my myself, baby and 7yr old.

My DS is so sensitive to cream.
I'd recommend aqueous cream for a little while and see how you go.
Anything that's non perfumed too.
I dislike Johnson's stuff for him.

I second the E45 cream. Maybe try an anti histamine as well

My 5 yo gets an awful heat rash every summer that actually ulcerates/turns to white heads. Only thing that's ever cleared it up and prevented it from happening again is La Roche Posay suncream. Its a god send.

I was recommended Aveeno by the GP for DS when he was little and he had a dry ‘crazed’ type rash on his eyelids. It worked pretty well as I remember.

Aveeno would be my choice.
DD gets rashes and our GP recommended it. It's the only thing that doesn't irritate dd's skin.

Aveeno, or aqueous cream.
