Hey There,
I have a 12 yr old boy who is starting to get small bumps on his cheeks, ( not pimples, no redness, or white/blackheads) and dryness around his nose. He did have eczema when he was a baby, and they do not look like that either.
I tried some of my more sensitive skin products, but they seem to irritate his young skin.
He does wash his face 2x a day with a mild soap.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
I would recommend to stop using the soap, but get a gentle face cleanser instead to use once per day, at night. For example: https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/simple-kind-to-skin-moisturizing-facial-wash
Cleansing with soap can damage the skin barrier and make an irritation more likely. In any way less cleansing and more gentle cleansing should help.
I’d recommend using a simple moisturizer twice per day or as needed on the dry areas: for example, https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/aveeno-calm-restore-oat-gel-moisturizer
When he goes outside, try to get him use a sunscreen, something like this one (mineral filters, no fragrance): https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/bare-republic-mineral-sunscreen-face-lotion
