We all know that babies babies have delicate and sensitive skin, right? Now, moms can protect their babies delicate skin by using Johnson’s Baby Top-to-Toe Foaming Wash when bathing their babies. Babies skin are 40% thinner than adult skin and is prone to dryness because it loses moisture at a faster rate.

Babies need to use a mild and gentle wash which was what Johnson’s has formulated in Baby Top-to-Toe Self-Foaming Wash:

•  gentle cleansing in a new format: a self-foaming that lathers instantly to a fine and delicate foam in one pump, leaving baby’s skin soft and smooth
• rinsing is easier keeping bath time shorter (though of course, there are babies who enjoy bath time especially when the weather is hot)
• CLINICALLY PROVEN MILDNESS® seal and is pH-balanced for baby’s skin. It’s free from known irritants such as soap and alcohol to keep the natural moisture of baby’s skin. Its unique NO MORE TEARS® formula is a guarantee that it will not harm your baby’s eyes, and that it is as mild as pure water.

(pardon the photo taken with a mobile gadget, I left my camera at home with its duracell procell c batteries)

• Johnson’s Baby Top-to-Toe Self-Foaming Wash can be used in three easy steps:

1. Rotate the pump clockwise to release the pump
2. Push down the nozzle with one hand a few times until the foam is released
3. Close the pump by rotating it counterclockwise

Johnson’s® baby Top-to-Toe™ Self Foaming Wash is available in Mercury Drug, Baby Company, Watsons and selected supermarkets near you.  It is available in a 400mL bottle, with suggested retail price of PHP 407.00. The 350mL Refill will be available in June 2012, and will be priced at PHP 323.40.

World Book and Copyright Day happens every April 23.

The National Book Development Board, the Quezon City Government and IPO Philippines  will celebrate World Book and Copyright Day  at the Quezon City Memorial Circle:

This is a timely event especially during summer break because children nowadays are not really into reading. Included in the day’s events are storytelling, poetry-reading and picture taking with different characters like a “pirate” symbolizing the pirate of piracy, a crime that is punishable by law.

So, put on your running shoes and ready your bike racks behind your cars and head over to QCMC on Sunday. You can run or walk or bike before or after you visit these activities at the Planas Garden.

April 22 is Earth Day too
