How to clean and maintain baby's skin

Does your baby's skin seem to be naturally white and puffy? In fact, the skin of a newborn is not fully developed yet and is more susceptible to external stimuli than that of an adult. If you are not careful, it may turn red. Parents need to carefully and gently care for it, do a good job of cleaning it, and take proper care of it to maintain its whiteness and translucent skin.

How to clean and maintain baby's skin

1. Newborn baby's skin characteristics

A baby's smooth and translucent skin is a precious gift from God. If parents do not understand the development of their baby's skin and neglect to take care of it, problems such as peeling, redness, swelling, itching, etc. will occur. Therefore, understanding your baby's skin is the first step to preventing skin problems.

2. Incomplete skin development

The baby's skin is not fully developed, and the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, has not yet matured, so it is easily irritated by foreign substances, and the ability to control acid and alkali is poor, which makes it easy to have skin allergies... and other problems.

3. Imperfect temperature regulation

Not only is the skin of babies thinner than that of adults, but their nerve conduction function and ability to respond to ambient temperature stimulation are also not as agile as those of adults. Their ability to regulate body temperature is not yet fully developed, so they tend to sweat profusely when it gets hot, which is why they often get rashes.

4. Skin cleaning and maintenance tips

Generally, the skin cleansing and maintenance products for adults on the market may contain additives such as fragrances, flavors, essential oils, etc. Skin products for babies should be avoided as much as possible.

Skin cleansing and care products designed specifically for babies are safe to use for babies. If the product is not specifically for babies, you should pay attention to whether it contains preservatives, excessive flavors, fragrances, essential oils and other additives. The simpler the ingredients, the better.

5. Just clean it moderately

The purpose of bathing is to wash away bacteria and irritants without damaging the protective film on the skin. Therefore, moderate cleaning is enough, and the number of baths should be determined according to sweat and activity. Whether in summer or winter, the water temperature should not be too hot. Before the baby goes into the water, adults can use the delicate skin on the inside of the wrist to feel the body temperature. Feel the warmth and control it at 38~40℃. Too high a temperature will cause skin damage or even burns.

6. Maintenance steps cannot be skipped

The principle of choosing baby skin care products is the same as skin cleansing products. Children-specific products with simple ingredients and no added fragrances or pigments are preferred. The best time to care for your baby's skin is when there is still some moisture on the surface of the baby's skin. Therefore, after bathing, apply lotion for skin absorption to achieve a moisturizing effect, so that the baby's skin can maintain its most natural purity and cuteness.

7. Choose a credible brand

When choosing a brand, try to choose big brands or credible brands, because these brands have been tested for a long time, and the production process is more rigorous and the ingredients are less problematic.

8. Product form depends on personal preference

There are many kinds of baby bath products on the market, such as nourishing soap, bubble gel, shower gel, shower gel, etc. Basically, you can decide according to personal preference. As long as the product has been approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, there is no problem, and parents can choose and use it with confidence.
