Please suggest products to improve the skin color of a 3 month old.

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Please suggest a good soap, lotion, or massage oil to improve the color. She is three months old. I already tried using pigeon soap, pigeon lotion, tedibar, Cetaphil lotion, olive oil.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As per evidence-based medicine, no such product can improve color. It is not advisable to use any product which can or has an effect on skin color. For massage, any oil which suits the baby (coconut oil, olive oil) will do. The baby regains its original color by the age of six months.

Every baby is unique and a genius in itself. Focus on keeping her healthy. All other aspects are secondary. Happy to serve you.
