Baby’s Skin in Winter: How to Keep It Soft, Safe & Soothed

Posted by Lauren Harrison on

Gentle care tips for cold-weather months using Pod Organics’ nurturing essentials.

Winter brings cosy cuddles, hot cups of tea, and woolly hats—but for our little ones, it can also bring dry cheeks, flakiness, and irritation. A baby’s skin is incredibly delicate, especially in the first year. In cooler months, it’s more prone to dryness, redness, and rashes.

But with a few simple tweaks—and the right products—you can keep their skin calm, soft, and protected all season long.

Why Baby Skin Needs Extra Care in Winter

Baby skin is up to 30% thinner than adult skin, making it more vulnerable to moisture loss and environmental stress. Combine that with indoor heating, dry air, and frequent wiping, and you’ve got a recipe for irritation.

Common winter skin woes:

  • Chapped cheeks and lips
  • Flaky arms and legs
  • Nappy area dryness or rash
  • General discomfort or fussiness
