Hot Baby Products: Mustela Ultimate Skin Protection Kit

Tuesday December 16, 2008
This should probably be filed under "cool baby products!" Mustela's Ultimate Skin Protection Kit is perfect when the weather gets cold, as it has where I live lately. I'm staring out at a few inches of snow on the ground, and I can't keep enough lotion in the house to deal with my family's perpetually dry hands when they've been out in the winter air. I love the Mustela Hydrastick with Cold Cream Nutriprotective that comes in this set. It rolls on easily and isn't too greasy, so it's great for just adding a protective layer to hands or cheeks before heading out into the cold. It also doesn't sting if your child's skin is already a bit raw from the cold, which is a huge bonus. I've started using the Hydrastick at the beginning of winter as preventative maintenance for myself and my daughter, and it makes a big difference!

The kit also includes Cold Cream Nutriprotective Lotion, which is pretty thick and is good for healing already winter-dry skin. I find the lotion to be a bit greasy, though, so it's one that you want to put on when you have time to let it soak in before putting baby's clothes on. Rounding out the Ultimate Skin Protection Kit is the Gentle Soap with Cold Cream Nutriprotective, which won't dry baby's skin during bath time, and a sweet little fleece scarf and mittens set to help keep the dry air away from baby's tender skin.

The Ultimate Skin Protection Kit would make a great holiday baby gift or stocking stuffer, but you can also buy the individual products separately. Any of them are a great addition to your family's winter skin routine!
