In the summer, it’s especially important for both moms and babies to keep their skin soft and moisturized. The sun and water can be very dehydrating. For babies, it is extremely important to nourish their sensitive skin after sun exposure. Water evaporation and sun exposure create dry, chapped and irritated skin causing both a mom and her baby discomfort.

So, before you take the time to soak up the summer sun with your family, read up on Annette's tips for keeping summer skin healthy:

TIP 1: For mothers, use a moisturizer or lotion immediately after a shower, so the skin can lock the maximum amount of moisture

TIP 2: This is also the ideal time for moms to apply a body firming serum to restore and replenish slackened skin.

TIP 3: For babies, applying a moisturizer (using only phthalate free products) to your baby's skin directly after a warm bath.
