Newborn skin care in Ghana's climate

Ghana's humidity means baby skin needs breathable, lightweight products — not heavy petroleum-based creams that trap heat.

Stick to fragrance-free cleansers and lotions with simple actives: shea butter, oat extract, and purified water.

Change diapers frequently and use a zinc oxide barrier cream at the first sign of redness.

If rash persists beyond 48 hours or spreads, consult your paediatrician.
