4. Soothe Diaper Rash
Anyone with a child that’s dealing with a bad case of diaper rash understands that babies know how to make their discomfort known. The crying doesn’t stop until they receive relief, and a concerned parent hates to hear their child moan in pain.
Calendula oil-infused lotions can help cool and calm the irritation from a nasty diaper rash. The active ingredients in the essential oils get to work in reducing inflammation and signs of redness in the skin associated with diaper rash.
Similarly, calendula-infused lotions can also help reduce the effects of a rash in adults and adolescents as well. Rub the cream into the affected area every eight hours to allow for maximum absorption of the active polyphenols in the lotion to penetrate the skin.
Cancer patients are at risk of developing contact dermatitis from radiation therapy. Using calendula-infused skin lotions may also help protect the skin from contact dermatitis infection.
