While it's true that holidays rhyme with lightness and freedom , you shouldn't forget some essential guidelines and items in case of extremely dry skin !

Geography question: where to go with your child?

Of course! However, you will need to be careful depending on the climate and the season :

• Heat: sweating promotes itching.

• Cold: dry air tends to dry out the skin.

With good habits and the daily application of emollients , everything should be fine (See: The benefits of emollients)

From the beach to the mountains , each holiday destination has its advantages.

Vacation-friendly skincare to care for atopic skin

Your peace of mind will come primarily from what you pack in your luggage . Wherever you go, remember to:

• Its specific baby and child cleansing and emollient products. If you know you'll have no trouble finding them locally, there's no need to overpack: just bring enough to last the first few days . If in doubt, it's best to plan for the entire duration of your vacation .

• The specific treatment prescribed by the doctor in case of a flare-up. Keep the prescription in your toiletry bag or with your important documents so you're prepared for any eventuality .

• Very high protection sunscreen lotion, fragrance-free , suitable for atopic-prone skin , with a high SPF if you are going out in the sun.

• Cotton clothing and underwear , for summer and winter.
