![]() ![]() The first signs usually appear at around two months, with most kids outgrowing it by 5-6 years old. ![]() It’s one of the most common reasons for paediatrician visits. Nearly one in five children are affected by atopic dermatitis (commonly referred to as eczema). They’re flowing, melting texture absorbs easily into the skin and soothes fragile skin. The Emollient Cream (there’s one for body and one specifically for face) provides long-term hydration and helps restore a compromised skin barrier. The oil itself is a truly luxurious experience, it has a melting texture that dilutes easily in the bath or can be used directly on the skin (which is what we did). I gravitated towards the Cleansing Oil for James and it became an instant favourite. ![]() Those dry and irritated patches on James’ torso, arms and legs that I mentioned earlier – I was amazed to see them vanish within 2-3 days of using the products! In his two and a half years of life James has never been without dry patches somewhere on his body, this is quite literally the first time! Though I practised this same timeline with Mustela’s Stelatopia products, I was blown away by the fast results. I like to really dive in and use a product for at least 30 days to see changes on the skin (either on my own or my kids). The line combines two patented, responsibly sourced active ingredients – Organic sunflower oil distillate and Avocado Perseose. This minimalist and biodegradable line of formulas is also fragrance-free and boasts 98% ingredients of natural origin. When I was asked to try the new Stelatopia skincare range of products by Mustela, the first thing I did was take a look at the ingredients listed. When you’re a mother, it’s heartbreaking to see your child’s little body and their delicate skin in such an angry state. James had an irritated patch of skin on his face for his whole first year of life and up till recently he had similar patches on his arms, legs and torso. I feel like I’m constantly at his paediatrician’s office, asking if we can try something else – as even prescription creams don’t seem to make much difference (and I worry about them damaging his skin). With my daughter, she seemed to outgrow her irritated skin by about age 3. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve tried EVERY cream, lotion, prescription creams, steroids and even natural home remedies like dabbing breast milk or melted coconut milk on his cracked and angry skin. While both my children dealt with skin irritation as newborns and infants, it is my now 2.5 year old son James who has had the worst experience dealing with chronically dry and irritated skin. I wondered what I was doing wrong, was the bath water too hot? Was I not being careful enough when wiping their faces after a feed? Was it the laundry detergent I was using? There was a lot of self doubt and self blame. Their once rosy and soft skin instead became inflamed, irritated and painful looking. Like many new mothers, I remember being caught off guard by the unsightly rash that both of my babies developed in those first few weeks of life.
