what is good to use on acne prone skin?

can you over moisturise lips? i have lip skin that keeps peeling no matter what i use and have been to the doctors but nothing has helped. i use lip balms several times a day.

Adults are now being advised to wear sunscreen all year round particularly on their faces, would you recommend this for children too ?

Hi

Do you have any tips for persistent cradle cap? Our 6 year old seems to have a small patch that will not clear up no matter what I put on it.

My DD age 12 has really sensitive skin and everything seems to give her a red itchy rash. But she suffers from really dry skin and is starting to get a few spots too. What is the best brand for body moisturiser? What should she use on her face to keep it clean and to moisturise it? Thanks

My daughter has small patches of eczema on her arms and legs and very dry skin on the whole. She has cream to use but doesn’t like the feel of it on her face. She had very sensitive skin and we’ve tried lots of moisturisers on her face, but her skin reacts badly. Is there a particular cream she could use on her face which is light, but still moisturises effectively?

Does avoiding cow's milk help your skin?

Should we always put sun lotion on if they are in the sun? I read somewhere that 20 minutes without it is recommended as it’s good for their skin?
My daughter has a large birthmark what’s the best thing I can do for sun protection for it?
Thank you.

@JustineBMumsnet

My child has eczema, what can I use on it, doublebase doesn't seem to help?

Couple of queries...my 10 year old seems to be suffering with a spotty forehead recently..is it worth her using a cleanser and what can you recommend?

Shes also begun suffering with dandruff and I'm wondering how to get this sorted asap? Thanks

How do you stop teenagers from squeezing their spots?!

My DC has sore cracked skin from repeatedly using hand sanitiser in school. They are now using E45 during in the day to help soothe the skin but it does not seem to be getting any better. Will this cream harbour bacteria and be more harmful than not using hand sanitiser at all? And will the skin improve if they keep using the sanitiser?

@JustineBMumsnet. @YanaMumsnet.

Child gets very dry skin which can become sore in colder months. How often should I be washing and using moisturisers

My 6 year old gets red raw skin around her mouth and chin as she licks and slathers a lot. What can we do to prevent and then soothe the area?
