How To Layer Kokoso Skincare Products

Just like adults, babies need effective skincare to help keep their delicate skin healthy and protected. But one important aspect of baby skincare that often gets overlooked is the order in which you apply the products.

Proper layering can make a big difference in the effectiveness of your baby's skincare routine, especially in winter when harsh weather can take a toll on delicate skin. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the steps of layering Kokoso Baby skincare products for a soft and happy bubba. 

Step 1: Start with a Gentle Cleanser

The first step in any skincare routine is cleansing. Look for a gentle cleanser such as our Gentle Hair & Body Wash specifically formulated for little ones. Gently massage the cleanser onto your baby's skin, focusing on areas that are prone to dirt and sweat, like the face, neck and nappy area. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry with a soft baby towel.

Step 2: Apply Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil First

After cleansing, it's important to moisturise your baby's skin to keep it hydrated and protected. Kokoso Baby is a featherlight organic baby coconut oil that sinks in quickly and nourishes deeply. When layering, it’s best applied as a base layer of hydration. It can be applied anywhere on your baby’s body, from head to tiny toes – and it even works wonders as a natural nappy cream to reduce the risk of nappy rash.

Allow the coconut oil’s moisturising fatty acids and nourishing natural nutrients to absorb before applying your next baby skincare product.

Step 3: Apply our Coconut Oil Baby Lotion Second

Our luxurious yet lightweight baby lotion contains naturally active plant sugars that work to strengthen the skin's protective barrier, lock in moisture and prevent water evaporating from the skin. This makes it perfect as the second layer of hydration and protection for your baby, so apply the lotion on top of our coconut oil. Be sure to apply the lotion every day if you’re looking to provide long-term support for your baby's skin barrier. 

Step 4: Finish with our Soothing Baby Balm Stick

For extra care and protection, finish off your baby's skincare routine with a few swipes of our 100% organic Baby-Soft Balm Stick. This will create a soothing barrier that seals in all the goodness underneath and keeps irritants out. Put it in your pocket so you can protect your baby's exposed skin throughout the day, especially in windy and cold weather conditions. Pay particular attention to areas that are prone to dryness or irritation, such as lips, cheeks and hands.

Additional baby skincare tips:

• Don’t forget to carry out a skin patch test with any new baby skincare product.
• When laying your baby’s skincare, wait a few minutes between each step to allow the products to fully absorb into the skin.

• If you notice any signs of irritation or discomfort, consult with your GP.
• Remember, every baby is different, and what works for one may not work for another.
• With the best baby skincare products and proper layering, you can keep your baby's skin glowing, soft and happy – come wind, rain or shine!
