Therefore, baby skin care needs to be done properly and the right product should be chosen. Here are important principles that parents need to keep in mind:
1. Avoid harmful substances that can affect your eyes and skin
Newborns do not have complete eye contact reflexes and are unable to secrete tears. Therefore, it is necessary to keep your baby away from cigarette smoke and polluted environment. When using skin and hair care products, you should choose a gentle one, not causing bitterness to the eyes, not containing alcohol or exfoliants.
2. Keep diapers clean and dry
After each time your baby goes to the toilet, parents need to clean and replace diapers immediately to avoid diapers, dermatitis or rashes. Use clinically tested cleaning and diaper products that are gentle and suitable for sensitive skin in infants.
3. Avoid irritants from clothes and detergents
Choose clothes made from soft, breathable materials, remove labels to avoid friction that causes scratches on your baby's skin. Clothes and towels should be washed in a specialized laundry detergent for young children or sensitive skin, without fragrances or irritants.
4. Maintain appropriate moisture for baby skin
Dry weather or showering too much can cause your baby's skin to become dehydrated and dry. Parents should apply moisturizer to dry, flaky areas to keep the skin soft. At the same time, avoid leaving your baby in an environment that is too hot and humid because it can easily cause infections, fungal infections, affecting the microflora on the baby's skin.
5. Sunbathing properly to increase resistance
Taking a daily sun bath in the early morning helps children synthesize vitamin D, which supports calcium absorption, which is good for bone growth. This is also a way to help your baby gradually adapt to the outside environment and increase natural resistance.
