Winter has a way of sneaking up on your family’s skin. One day everything feels normal, and the next you’re dealing with chapped lips, scratchy hands, and little noses that have been through 137 packets of tissues. Add in dry indoor heat and cold wind, and even the most moisturized among us start feeling a bit like raisins.
This is where simplicity becomes your best friend. Instead of filling your bag with separate products for every winter issue, one tube can quietly (and very effectively) take care of most of them.
Our La Petite Crème all-natural diapering balm may have built its reputation on baby bottoms, but in the colder months, its talents shine far beyond the changing table. Because when a product is safe enough for a newborn, it’s usually gentle (and reliable) enough for everything else.
Here are some of the most common winter skin frustrations - and how this small, multitasking pot helps ease them.
7 brilliant ways to use diaper balm this winter
1. Chapped lips (for you and for the little ones)
Winter lips don’t stand a chance against cold wind and dry heat. A thin layer of balm softens, protects, and stays put without that heavy, waxy feel.
2. Dry, itchy hands from washing and sanitizing
Between dishes, bottles, meal prep, and the usual mom-level handwashing, winter can be rough on your hands. Because our formula is water-free, it creates a helpful protective layer that lasts longer than traditional lotions. A small amount before bed works wonders.
3. Raw, red noses
Endless sniffles come with the season, and constant wiping can leave noses sore and irritated. A little balm around the nostrils helps calm the redness and protects the area from further irritation.
4. Windburned cheeks during stroller walks
Quick trips outside can leave cheeks feeling dry and tight. Adding a tiny bit of balm before heading out gives skin the extra barrier it needs on breezy days.
5. Rough elbows, heels, and small dry patches
Some spots always seem to get drier than others in the winter. Rubbing a small amount of balm into elbows, heels, or any random rough patch helps soften and soothe overnight.
6. A simple winter tip
A tiny amount of balm just inside the nostrils before going outside can help reduce that sharp, cold-air feeling and make the skin less prone to dryness. A helpful winter trick moms love.
7. And of course… the diaper area
Cold weather and dry air can make even the diaper area more sensitive. Our balm moisturizes and protects beautifully - without petroleum, without fragrances, and without a complicated routine.
Petites pensées
Winter will always bring its quirks - dry air, sniffles, and daily hunts for a missing mitten. But a few small habits and a reliably gentle product can make things feel more manageable. If one little tube can bring comfort to multiple winter trouble spots, let it lighten your load. A little ease goes a long way this season.
