Hi Thanks a lot for writing to Healthcare magic.
I understand that your baby has dry skin and the differential skin time on body parts is your concern.
Dry skin per say predisposes to dull and dark skin tone. While using the cream you need to take care that soon after a brief bath with not very hot water, and towel drying baby soon apply the cream and apply liberal amount as many times may be 3 times a day can be applied. This licks the moisture in skin.
Over time skin time might become lighter.
Hope I answered your query.
In case you have more query I am happy to answer else rate this answer and close the discussion.
