Before applying diaper cream, ensure that the area is clean and dry. Use lukewarm water and a mild soap to cleanse your baby's skin, then carefully dry the area by gently patting it with a soft towel.
Take a small amount of diaper cream on your fingers and apply a thin layer to the diaper-covered area. Make sure to completely cover the affected area, but avoid excessive application of the cream.
Gently massage the cream into the skin with soft, circular motions to aid in the absorption of the cream and soothe the skin. There's no need to apply excessive pressure or rub too hard, as a baby's skin is delicate.
To keep your baby's skin protected, it's recommended to apply diaper cream at each diaper change. This will help prevent irritations and rashes.
