Anybody have a favorite solution for a chapped face?

[bbernardini]

My son has been sick lately, and since he's only two, he hasn't quite gotten the hang of using a tissue instead of his sleeve. The result is a very chapped face. Anybody out there have a favorite cure that works for them?

1. have you tried vermont bag balm? (comes in a green tin)

i really like this product but i don't know how it would work on a 2 yr old -- ask the pharmacist?

2. Keep his nose wiped, and put some Vaseline on his face

and some gentle lotion at night. Keep it dry - that's very important. And keep him hydrated - that will help.

3. Aveeno Lotion works really well

on chapped, dry skin.
It's mild and hypoallergenic.

:) Good luck.

4. LisaM is right. Vaseline

Amazing how quickly it works! :hi:

5. Aquaphor - recommended to me by my dermatologist

better than Vaseline (petroleum based) as it is water based.

A little expensive, but worth it. I have a tub, but it also comes in small tubes.

6. Aloe vera? You can buy it, or buy a plant.
