The skin of infants is extremely delicate and requires special attention and care in daily care. Proper habits, natural ingredients and the right preparations are the key to providing comfort to the baby and protection from irritation. What is the best way to take care of a baby's skin?
Infant skin care - the basics of caring for a baby's softness and health
Published Nov. 27, 2024 10:32
Features of infant skin
The skin of newborns and infants is different from that of adults. It is:
- Thinner - more easily subject to irritation and dryness.
- More sensitive - the tendency to allergic reactions and flare-ups is higher.
- Not fully developed - the skin barrier is just forming.
Therefore, choosing the right care methods is crucial.
Principles of infant skin care
- Minimalism in cosmetics
Choose gentle preparations designed for children from day 1. Hypoallergenic formulas free of artificial colors, preservatives and fragrances are a must. - Moisturizing and lubricating
After each bath, it is a good idea to moisturize your baby's skin with a lotion or cream. Products containing natural ingredients, such as shea butter, lanolin or vegetable oils, promote epidermal regeneration and protect against external factors. - Gentle washing
Baths should not take too long - 5-10 minutes in warm, but not hot water is enough. Use pH-neutral cleansers that do not damage the skin's natural barrier. - Protection against irritation
The skin of infants is particularly vulnerable to flare-ups. It is important to change diapers frequently and use protective creams in the intimate area. - Avoid sun exposure
Babies under 6 months of age should not be exposed to direct sunlight. For older infants, use creams with high UV protection.
Examples of products that meet the requirements of hypoallergenic care
Hypoallergenic cosmetics, such as the IDEE DERM BABY line from Ideepharm Dermocosmetics Institute, are examples of dermocosmetics ideal for delicate baby skin. Formulas based on natural ingredients, such as lanolin, shea butter and cotton extract, are recommended by pediatricians. The line includes:
- A 3-in-1 gel for washing the body, face and hair.
- A 2-in-1 bath emulsion that gently cleanses and lubricates.
- A body lotion that provides hydration and protection.
- A protective face cream with a light, soothing formula.
The key to healthy baby skin
Taking care of infants' skin is not only a matter of hygiene, but also a matter of comfort and safety for the child. Remember that every skin is different, so careful observation of the baby's reaction to the products used is as important as their selection. With proper care, we can ensure that the baby feels soft and the skin develops healthily from the first days of life.
