Tips for caring for your baby's sensitive skin

Bathing properly, choosing suitable clothes, sun protection and choosing natural cosmetic products are important factors to protect your baby's skin in the first years of life.

Bathing properly

Bathing properly is one of the ways to protect the skin. However, bathing with water alone will not remove all the grease and dirt from the baby's stool and urine.

Mothers can use mild, pH-neutral baby shampoos and bath products that have been clinically proven to be safe to clean dirt without causing eye irritation or drying or irritating the skin. Dry climates or too much bathing can dehydrate the skin, so apply baby lotion to dry, dehydrated skin.

Not only adults but also children need to use moisturizer. Because the lack of moisture in winter makes the baby's immature skin dry and chapped. Choose moisturizers with natural ingredients to avoid irritating the baby's skin. Apply cream to your baby every time he wakes up, before going to bed and especially after bathing, when the baby's body loses a lot of moisture. Be careful to apply a moderate amount of cream to prevent slipping.

Choosing clothes for children

You should choose soft, smooth cotton fabric to avoid rubbing your baby's skin. In addition, mothers should choose clothes that are appropriate for the season for their baby.

In winter, mothers should dress their children in long-sleeved clothes to keep them warm. If they are woolen, wear a thin shirt underneath to avoid the fabric rubbing against the skin, causing itching and discomfort.

When going out, it is most important to keep your baby warm and not expose his skin to the outside because he will easily get allergies to weather, cold, and insects.

Sun protection for babies

A baby's skin is very young and if exposed to UV rays for a long time, it is very harmful, so even in winter, every time you go out, you should apply sunscreen to your baby.

Moreover, when going out, it is best to cover your baby carefully. Currently, there are sunscreens for children from 6 months old and up that are very effective in protecting baby's skin.
