While no oil can drastically change a baby's complexion, certain oils can contribute to healthier, softer, and more moisturized skin, which may give the appearance of an improved complexion. Sesame oil and almond oil are often mentioned for this purpose.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Sesame Oil: Rich in zinc, it may improve skin elasticity and smoothness. It also helps protect the baby's skin from harmful UV rays (although it should not replace proper sun protection).
-
Almond Oil: Extracted from almond seeds, it's rich in Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, and E. It helps keep baby's skin soft and moisturized.
It is important to note that individual reactions to oils can vary. Always perform a patch test on a small area of the baby's skin before applying any new oil to a larger area. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. Consult with a pediatrician or dermatologist before using any oil on your baby, especially if they have sensitive skin or eczema.
