Yes, you read that right. It’s a spa day for babies!
Most of us are familiar with the comfort and relaxation provided during a spa session. Whether it’s a spa day at the salon or a DIY spa sesh at home, we all feel reenergized and refreshed (and wish it lasted a little longer) after one. Sure, spa days for adults are a common concept, but what about our little ones? Now, you may wonder why babies need to relax, given that they sleep for hours and wake up only when they want to eat, play, or soil their diapers. However, studies suggest that babies do get stressed and can pick up on environmental stressors that can, in turn, lead to various negative physiological changes (1). So, a spa day can help them relax, too.
While spa retreats aren’t yet mainstream in India, it doesn’t mean you can’t have one in the comfort of your home. Before getting started, make sure to choose natural and baby-safe skincare products from Himalaya Babycare and make the most of this rejuvenating baby-and-me time! It’s also essential to follow the steps and have the products handy to avoid any inconvenience mid-session.
Set The Stage
First things first, set the scene for your little one’s luxurious retreat. Picture this: fluffy towels, soothing music, and perhaps a rubber ducky or two for good measure. Create an ambiance that screams relaxation (or at least whispers it softly because, you know, babies). Switch the glaring fluorescent lights off and use soft, dim lighting. Fairy lights and artificial candles can add a serene glow to the room. Next, put on a playlist of soothing lullabies and symphonies. You may also choose to play ambient sounds in the background. Pick whatever seems comfortable for you and your baby, and unwind.
Dive Into The Main Event
A typical baby spa session starts with gentle massages, relaxing baths, and soothing skincare routines. And for this purpose, the Himalaya Happy Baby Gift Pack is perfect! With seven diverse products catering to a baby’s specific skincare and haircare needs, it adds to the pleasure of a playful bath time. A cornerstone of infant wellness for generations, the brand has built a legacy on the unwavering trust of parents and guardians who seek only the best for their little ones, and this gift pack is a medley of everything you will need to get started, as mentioned below.
- Wipe, Wipe, Baby
Instead of starting with a massage, get rid of any stubborn dirt or grime sticking to your baby’s skin using the Gentle Baby Wipes included in the Happy Baby Gift Pack. With Indian lotus and aloe vera, it cleanses and moisturizes the skin without drying it. Once the epidermis is free from dirt, it’s time for a massage.
- Massage Miracle
Who doesn’t love a good massage? Despite the occasional squirm and wiggle, your little one will certainly enjoy it when you use the Baby Massage Oil, also included in the Happy Baby Gift Pack. With gentle strokes and a soothing touch, let your little one melt into a puddle of relaxation and enjoy the benefits of olive oil and winter cherry before moving on to bathtime.
- Splish Splash Bathtime Bash
Two words – bubble time! Before the bath, ensure the water temperature is just right – not too hot, not too cold, but Goldilocks-approved “just perfect.” Then, get the Gentle Baby Shampoo from Himalaya Babycare’s 7-in-1 Gift Pack and gently massage the scalp. Its mild, no-tear formulation with natural ingredients like hibiscus and chickpea softens, nourishes, and improves your baby’s hair strength and luster.
Next, whip out the Gentle Baby Soap from the pack and lather it on your little one. Its gentle formulation cleanses and moisturizes your baby’s sensitive skin with almond and olive oils.
PS: Add some cute rubber toys to make bathtime fun and full of giggles!
- Post-bath Bliss
Once you have taken your little bundle of joy out of the bath and covered them in fluffy towels (and a thousand kisses), it’s time for some moisturizing lotion. Using the Himalaya Baby Lotion from the 7-in-1 Gift Pack, safeguard your baby’s skin with the goodness of almond and olive oils. It keeps your baby’s skin soft and protected and helps prevent infections.
Don’t forget to follow it up with the Baby Powder with khus khus for the little nooks and crannies. It keeps them fresh and fragrant even after throwing hands and feet in the air for hours.
- Safety Shield
Spa-day skincare goes beyond moisturization, so protect their delicate skin with the Himalaya Baby Diaper Rash Cream formulated with almond oil and aloe vera. It is mild, soothing, and effective for removing those pesky, painful rashes.
- Bonding Bonanza
Most importantly, cherish this special time with your baby. Along with pampering, it’s about creating memories and strengthening bonds. So sing silly songs, blow raspberries, and revel in the joy of being together. However, also remember that constant supervision is essential. Never leave your little one unattended, secure the bath area carefully, and ensure the room doesn’t get too warm.
When done safely, this spa session will help them relax, sleep better, and be less irritated. Besides, the gentle, natural products can help eliminate germs and bacteria and hydrate your baby’s skin, keeping eczema and diaper rashes at bay.
So, what are you waiting for? Treat yourself and your little snuggle bunny to a cozy baby spa day using products from the Himalaya Babycare Happy Baby Gift Pack and make happy, magical memories for years to remember!
