    Aloe vera straight from the plant would be my suggestion.

    If it's bothering her, maybe a couple of face washers refridgerated and alternated.
    Then once it's settled down, some baby moisturiser.

    It's hard to tell if it is bothering her... She has been so unsettled last few days any way with wind, I don't know I'd her screaming is just wind or it..

    Hiya, a friend of mine got caught out with this with her little one, it was a really overcast day too. Not a reflection on your parenting at all!!

    If you are breastfeeding, you could wipe the skin with cooled EBM, it's good for all sorts of troubles and may help.

    You could go down to the pharmacy and ask what they recommend. I have a tube of aloe vera gel that's 99% pure, pretty sure it's from the chemist.
