What to clean wrinkles with

[Hanks Mother]

Hello everyone!
I've been using a hypoallergenic baby wipe followed with a dry paper towel, and then some corn starch to clean Hank's wrinkles, but they are just still really gunky and stained. I clean them every day. We switched him to a better food, which exponentially helped his allergies, his acne, and his ears, but I still need something better for his wrinkles. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!
Micayla and Hank

Hi Micayla - Hank is one handsome boy. We use unscented baby wipes with witch hazel. Also, if his face gets irritated, we'll put a little baby destin in the folds.

I have the same problem w/Tate and his tear stains and facial wrinkles. You want to make sure the wrinkles are kept as dry as possible to prevent yeast from growing there. How about trying some Witch Hazel, an astringent that will help keep the area dry. Hopefully others can give some input. [MENTION=6717]dolphin[/MENTION] keeps Buster's face very nice and clean.

Amazon.com: Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Toner with Aloe Vera Formula, Unscented, 12 Fluid Ounce: Health & Personal Care Would something like this work? I don't know which kind to purchase (aloe vera, unscented, alcohol free, etc.)

I think it's all in the food honestly. I think I may have it right after 2 and half years. That aside we use Duoxo pads and witch hazel every day.
[MENTION=9157]ddnene[/MENTION] was using some butt paste on her boy that you can only get in the southeast and that helped out a lot but I'm not sure if she's using it anymore.

[MENTION=13536]Hanks Mother[/MENTION], that's a good product b/c there's no alcohol added. I'd get the unscented for Hank.

LOL some butt paste.

 

[Hanks Mother]

Awesome. I'll order some of that today. Do you just rub it on with a cotton ball or something? And do you use it to clean the tail pocket as well? Sorry to overload you with questions

Yup, I'll use a cotton ball for face, and plain baby wipes but butt. (with the witch hazel, of course)

No overload - that's what this site is for!

The Butt Paste is essentially the same thing as Desitin. (Except it has much cuter packaging)!

Exactly, she did use it and it worked!

It's also thicker and sticks better. The purple desitin is also thicker and sticks, it also has more zinc I think. I quit using the blue desitin since I found the purple one!

I use a unscented baby wipe on their eyes, ears and nose ropes (their nose ropes aren't very deep, so don't get gucky) about two or three days a week. Dozers ears tend to more waxy than Blossoms, and he tends to get goopy eyes still but to as much as he did before. I lean their faces with the wipes, and when I bath them, I wash their faces and ears with a wash cloth and shampoo, and then I wash their bodies. I rinse them both with equal parts of white vinegar and warm water.
