Ten percent of infants in the U.S. have some form of eczema--red, dry and crusty patches on the face--leaving their mothers in a panic about how to treat this upsetting condition. Never fear. Here, experts give their advice on how to battle and beat eczema with a trusted line of products.

Eczema: An Upsetting Condition

"A lot of new moms may not realize what they're battling is eczema because it looks different on infants than it does older children and adults, appearing specifically on the face, chin, forehead and scalp," says Shape Magazine's Beauty Director Kate Sandoval Box." Then as the baby grows the eczema moves to the creases of the elbows and behind the knees. It can be so hard and emotional to see as a mom, but I am here to say that there are easy ways to help," she says.

Cetaphil To The Rescue

Her advice? Switch to Cetaphil Baby Eczema products. It's the brand recommended by dermatologists more than any other brand of cleansers and moisturizers and it's the number one pediatrician-recommended brand. "The reason I like it so much is that it has been clinically proven to calm dry, itchy skin," says Sandoval. Experts agree that it gives little ones long-lasting relief, and in turn moms long-lasting relief as well!

She continues: "I use both the wash and the lotion every night with my son. We use the wash in the bath and then I pat him dry a little bit and then I put the lotion on immediately. So it locks the moisture into his skin and keeps him hydrated for longer."

New Moms Need Care Too

" We are all so busy with feeding and diaper changes that we need an easy, no-brainier choice for our feminine care and incontinence products," says Box. "A lot of us do suffer from some bladder leakage after childbirth and it can be embarrassing and uncomfortable, but less so now thanks to a special technology called the Dri-Fit System.

The reason this system is so cool is it is the first blend of natural and synthetic fibers, which is key to ensuring that you feel natural no matter what. The natural cotton absorbs moisture, which can help promote skin health, and the synthetic fibers keep you drier even when you're using an ultra-thin product.

Embarrassment-Free

"When you're a new mom and you're exhausted going shopping for this or anything can be exhausting and a little overwhelming. But all you have to do is look for the Dri-Fit logo on store brands on incontinence and feminine care products," says the expert.
