At the bus stop this morning, the wind was whipping our hair around–it’s cold out there! Every winter, we deal with dry, chapped skin. Does your family get that, too? Aquaphor contacted me to remind you to keep Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment on-hand to help soothe and protect your children’s skin against the wind and cold, dry air. Its mild skin protectant formula is pediatrician recommended, comforts their skin, and also comforts and relieves dry, cracked irritated skin. We’ve used it for years on our daughter’s winter excema, and I carry a tiny one in my purse for when my hands get very chapped.
Aquaphor would love to hear from you on their Facebook page–share how you protect your child(ren)’s skin against cold weather. You’ll also find a printable coupon for $1.00 off your next purchase.
To treat your little one this winter, Aquaphor is giving one lucky MoneywiseMoms reader a Prize Pack that includes Aquaphor Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo, Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment, and a $50 Visa Gift Card along with a cozy hooded towel from Dwell Studios – perfect for keeping them warm after bath time!

Lots and lots of lotion! Thanks!
We do baths less frequently since they’re not playing outside as much.
Antibacterial humidifier and some sun protection when they go outside (even though it is cold the sun is still strong on their faces).
My son has bad eczema so I have to put lotion on him several times a day during the winter.
I actually use aquaphor or eucerine depending on what I have on hand.
With 3 family members suffering from terrible skin, we are big Aquaphor fans. We love it! We use it every day and night.

I actually put a little Aquaphor on my daughter’s face before bedtime because it helps her skin stay moisturized & free from irritation from the dry air. We also use a humidifier.
I use Aquaphor to help dry skin of kids.
My son’s skin gets dry in winter and we use Aquaphor to make his skin soft and smooth
We try to reduce the frequency of baths, but my son tends to get really dirty at recess playing in the dirt, so we end up doing a lot of lotion!
Lots of lotion. Skin get so dry in the winter.
It is a must in our house especially during the winter.
I didn’t know what Aquaphor was until my son asked me to buy some for him because that was the only thing that worked on his chapped skin.

We buy our Aquaphor by the tub! Our little guys sensitive cheeks get chapped by the cold wind so quickly if we forget to put it on. It’s great stuff!!

My daughter just had a bad problem with red, chapped wrists and hands. We tried a lot of different products and the only thing that worked was Aquaphor! We’d love to have more.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Lotion after bath time, chapstick for windy days, and sunscreen if we are out for long periods of time on an overcast or sunny day – especially in higher elevations.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment is a staple in my house for winter. It goes on cheeks, noses, ears…whatever needs to be protected from icy weather. We use lots of lip balm and lotions, too.
Lots of lotion is the key!
We use lotion most nights after bathtime. Aquaphor is a must in our house.
Coconut oil after each bath.
I lotion my son up quite a bit after he bathes to keep his skin from drying out.

I keep my kids bundled up and am sure to use lots of lotion and keep them hydrated.
I use lotion after bath and when they need it
We use lots of Aquaphor or Aveeno lotion after baths and bundle up when we go outside.
aquaphor is great stuff. Lip balm is a must. And just wearing gloves helps to protect the skin from the wind and cold.
My daughter has horrible eczema so we actually use Aquaphor all year long on her face. Now that it’s winter we use it daily if not more. Before bed, before going outside, etc. It’s amazing stuff.
Lots of lotion. Also make sure they dry their hands well after washing and apply hand cream when needed.
Thanks!
We stick with less baths, lots of lotion, humidifier in the kiddos room, and (what seems to be) a case of lip balm! Thanks!
We use Vanicream after every bath.
Mostly chapstick in the winter weather.
I use Aquaphor within 3 minutes of getting out of the bath to help the kid’s dry skin.
lots of lotion, keep the wind away from the skin with gloves, hats.

Lots of aquaphor after bath each night and humidifiers in the bedrooms
Moisturizing Lotion
I either use J&J baby oil after bathtime (morning and night) or I use lotion after drying off

They get lotioned every night after their shower. And of course, they still wear sunscreen if they’re going to spend time outside. Thank you for the giveaway!
Lotion after baths and every night before bed. It’s a hassle, but I think it works.
We use lots of chapstick and jackets. Luckily my kids aren’t too sensitive.
Lotion!
Moisturizers and lotion
We don’t really have to do anything except for occasional dry spots. I guess we’re lucky! Our pediatrician recommended Aquaphor at the very beginning.
Short cool showers and lots of lotions
i protect my little ones skin with warm clothing and always lotion immediately after a bath to seal in moisture
I like everything natural so I use a light coat of coconut oil on dry skin in the winter. I also use it as a sunblock in the summer and of course it has a multitude of other uses as well.
I protect it by using lotion on their skin and using an humidifier
I make sure they are dressed warmly and use tons of lotion!

I try to keep chapstick in the car to put on their lips before we enter the cold/wind. We also put on lotion before bed. My 7 yr old son currently has a dry patch by his mouth we are putting lotion on, so it doesn’t get worse.
lotion, lotion, lotion
lotion and lip balm
We use lotion and lip balm everyday!
Unlike me, my kids skin doesn’t seem to get super dry in the winter, but we use vaseline, chapstick or Aquaphor on their lips, which do tend to get chapped.

Merry Christmas
Lotion and humidifier
Chapstick, wearing proper winter clothing outside, putting lotion on hands after washing them, and not too hot water in the bath.
The way I protect my kids skin in the winter is to moisturize morning and night. Also to use sunblock because even in winter the sun can damage skin. Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter.
Lots of lotion.
Thanks!
Using lots of lotions and creams is a big help.
I use Eucerin and Aquaphor products already!

Less baths and lotion everyday.
I don’t bathe them every day (unless they need it) I do every other day. I also use lotion on their skin.
We moisturize more.
I myself suffer from extremely dry skin and must put lotion on after a bath, I always wash my children’s skin with moisturizing body wash as well as put lotion on them after a bath.
I have to be really careful because my daughter has such sensitive skin. Scented products make her skin red and sore. I would like to try Aquaphor. We often do oatmeal baths to soothe her skin.
Lots of lotion and chap stick!
No kids of my own, but everyone in my family tries to wear a lot of lotion and stay covered outside
Wash their hands more often (so they don’t have as many germs & get the common cold) and lots of lotion!
We handle dry skin a multitude of ways. To start with, we make sure our skin is completely dry before we leave the house. Every morning we use lotion, and in the evening I put grapeseed oil on their cheeks and anywhere else that looks like it could be getting chapped (like the back of the neck and the ears). It works like a charm!

moisturize and cover up as much as possible.
Sunscreen is a must- even in winter. I use a 30 spf all over each day and 50 spf on the face, neck and ears.
Thanks!
