Baby skin care
product
Babies obviously have sensitive skin; so make sure you are using
products that are gentle and specially formulated for them. It is common for
little bumps to appear, but if they don't go away make sure you show your
pediatrician.
Baby diaper
Diaper rash can be very sore and painful. Change your baby's
diaper often, and wash his or her skin with warm water. After patting dry, apply
a thick ointment or zinc oxide as a protective barrier.
Baby skin
rash
If your baby suffers from diaper rash, consult your doctor and
try leaving them 'naked', the open air will help to keep the skin dry and help
cure the rash.
Whitehead
Many children (including newborns) have milia, small white cysts
that often appear on the face, usually around the nose or the eyes. These are
harmless cysts that usually disappear on their own over time
Baby soap
No need for soap! Don't wash your baby's bottom with soap more
than twice a week. Soap can irritate your baby's sensitive skin and may lead to
a diaper rash.
Cleanser free soap
Warm water really is enough some of the time and soap free
cleansers can also be used.
Sunburn kid
Preventing sunburn in children is very important. Just one
severe sunburn in childhood can double the likelihood of skin cancer in
adulthood.
To use sunscreen
Your children should make sunscreen a part of their morning
routine. Studies have shown that regular use of sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or
higher during childhood and adolescence can decrease the risk of certain types
of skin cancers by 78%.
