5 Things About Baby Skin That You Need To Know

I am very excited to share with you the 5 Things About Baby Skin That You Need To Know. To be honest, I didn’t know most of it until a few days ago during the launch of Belo Baby. I know I still need to learn a lot about babies and kids pero akala ko when it comes to caring for a baby, alam ko na lahat. When it comes to baby skin care, kaunti lang pala alam ko.

#1 Baby Skin is not like the adult skin

Baby skin is not fully developed unlike the skin of the adult. Baby’s skin is 20-30% thinner than the skin of the adults. Do you know the thinnest part of your skin? It’s the skin under your eyes. Just imagine how thin a baby’s skin is.

Baby skin is different from adult skin not just on the structure but also how the skin functions.

#2 Baby Skin is not as effective temperature regulator

One of the difference between the adult of the skin and baby skin is the ability to regulate temperature. Baby skin is not as effective when it comes to regulating the temperature. And because of that, baby is more susceptible to over heating or becoming too cold.

#3 Baby Skin is more prone to dry skin

Baby skin is more prone to dry skin because of its structure. Baby skin has less Natural Moisturizing Factor molecules that keeps the cells hydrated making the skin less capable of retaining moisture.

To keep the baby skin well moisturized, use baby lotion as often as possible, specially after taking a bath.

#4 Baby skin does not need to be washed often

Bathing can actually remove the skin’s natural oil and baby’s skin does not produce that much natural oil. Bathing often can lead to baby skin dryness.

Since baby skin does not need to be washed often, make everything bathing activity counts with your baby.

#5 Baby skin absorbs easily

Baby skin has fewer lipids (fats). Lipids serves as the solid barrier of the skin. This is one of the reason why baby’s skin is very sensitive. Their skin does not have an effective defense against damage. Given that, the skin of baby easily absorbs any thing we put onto it. When using any product for the baby, always make sure that it is safe for your baby.

Blogger Media Kit: 3 Simple Steps To Make Your Own

How important is Blogger Media Kit? If a potential advertiser emails you and ask you about your blog, how do you answer?

-give him the link to your ABOUT ME page?
-send in links of your most popular blog post?
-create a carefully written article about you, your blog and why you blog and pray that he reads it until the last paragraph

You could do all three.. but that would surely scare your potential advertiser away. So how do you present yourself and your blog to a potential advertiser without boring them? The answer, my dear blogger friends, is thru a Blogger Media Kit.

Blogger Media Kit: 3 Simple Steps To Make Your Own

But How To Create A Blogger Media Kit? What should be included on your media kit? From my experience and from a lot of readings (how to create media kit etc) I created these 3 simple steps to start your own media kit.

Step 1. Tell something about you and your blog

Your media kit should speak of your blog, even at the first glance. What makes your blog stands out from other blogs? It’s your blog’s theme, your lay out, your color blog’s color palette, your blog’s font. And the best representation of your blog is your blog’s logo.

If you can include other elements of your blog such as your blog’s lay out, font and color, your blogger media kit is close to perfection.

Step 2. Include a professional photo of you

Let it speak more about you by including your photo. As much as possible, include a professional picture of you doing what you love to blog about. A garden background would be nice if your blog is about gardening. If you’re a mommy blogger like me, a nice shot of you and your kids is a good option. Gusto ko din yun eh kaso baka di kame magkasya mag iina! haha

If you need help in make up or need to hire a make up artist, I highly recommend Make Up by Sai Montes (read about our hair and make up session here)

Step 3. Answer these 3 easy questions:

Now comes the trickiest part, well, for me. I had a hard time figuring out what to put on my media kit aside from my logo and my picture. I can tell a story but how to tell it in a very limited space can be very challenging. Summarizing is not me. And I know most of you can relate. Kaya nga tayo bloggers eh, ang dami nating kwento!

Question #1 Who are you?

You can start by telling a little, OK 1-2 sentences, about you, your lifestyle and/or your family. Tell something about your blog and what you write about it. Try to summarize what your blog is all about in 2 to 3 sentences. Highlight your blog’s achievements or awards if you have any.

Question #2 Why they should work for you?

How influential are you and your blog? Answer it by listing your stats and your social media followers including your id/url on each social media site. It’s a plus if your id on all your social media accounts is your blog’s title/name too. Also include the type of people that reads your blog.

What people are saying about you? Include a few testimonials on your media kit from the people you have worked with or from your readers. Plus points if you can list the brands you have worked with in the past.

What can you offer? List what you can do for the client/ brand. Sponsored post? Banner placement? PR posting? Events coverage? For the rate, save it for your rate card.

I have a separate rate card where my packages were listed as well as the pricing and the brands I have worked with.

Question #3 How to contact you?

Your email address would be enough but if you want to put your mobile number, you can include it too.

For blogger media kit sample, you can download mine and study it 🙂

Blogger Media Kit Sample and Design

Now that you’re done with all the information you need for your media kit. It’s time to design your media kit. In my case, I let my designer do the job, best wordpress blog designer, Squeesome Design Studio. She offers media kit designing with discount! Just tell her you heard it from Mommy Pehpot 🙂

Downy Baby Gentle Review

My household is a Procter & Gamble house. Most of the products we use are from P&G… Ariel, Downy, Joy, Safeguard to name a few. Kaya naman, when EverydayMe announced their free sample of Downy Baby Gentle, grab agad!

EverydayMe gave out 3 sachets per account and an address can have 2 accounts. Buti na lang naka sign up din ang mga kapatid ko. I’m expecting 24 sachets coming from 8 accounts (4 addresses). Ang dumating pa lang sa akin 1 dozen pa lang..pero after using it, keberloo na kung dumating pa sya or hindi na, basta bibili na ako sa supermarket ng Downy Baby Gentle

Downy Baby Gentle

What I like most about Downy Baby Gentle is the smell. Ang bango bango nya but not too much… alam mo yung tamang amoy, yung klase ng amoy na alam mong hindi mapapahamak ang baby mo. Of course it also adds that it comes from P&G who have over 80 years of experience in developing baby products (hello Pampers). I’m assured that the new Downy Baby Gentle has been dermatologically tested and proven safe for use on baby clothes.

I used one sachet of Downy Baby Gentle for about 30 baby clothes.. Tantyahan lang yan ha.. and I love the faint smell it leaves on Marius clothes talaga. Minsan pag si Yaya ang naglalaba, medyo nasosobrahan ang lagay ng Downy but the smell is still not that strong.
