The skin of a child, and especially a baby, is several times more sensitive than that of adults. Therefore, when choosing products for caring for her, you need to give preference only to proven brands and carefully read the information on the packaging.
Why does baby's skin need special care? The fact is that young children do not have a protective lipid layer that retains moisture inside. As a result, babies' skin often dries up. Also, the delicate sensitive skin of a child is more susceptible to negative environmental influences (exhaust gases, ultraviolet light, etc.).
What cosmetics does a child need?
It is necessary to wash the baby with special baby soap. It is more convenient if it is of a liquid consistency in a bottle with a dispenser. At the same time, it is not bad if you have a couple of bars of ordinary solid soap in stock. It can be useful for washing laundry or washing.
Once or twice a week, it is necessary to arrange bath procedures for the child. To wash the body and head, you can use bath gel, baby shampoo. As a child grows older, he will be happy to bathe with a special bubble bath.
Small children spend a lot of time in diapers. For the prevention of diaper rash, you must use a cream or powder.
Body oil and lotion will help prevent flaky and dry skin. You can do a whole ritual: start and end the day with a light stroking massage using these products.
In the cold season, a protective cream that is used for the face and hands can come in handy. It will protect the skin from redness and chapping.
For adult girls, there are whole cosmetic sets, including nail polishes, eau de toilette, lip balms.
How to choose cosmetics
The main criterion for choosing children's cosmetics is its hypoallergenicity. Products for children should not contain processed petroleum products: petroleum jelly, paraffin, wax. These substances create a film on the skin and prevent it from breathing.
The presence of flavors, preservatives and colorants should be kept to a minimum. But the content of oils such as olive, peach, sunflower, chamomile, etc. will benefit children's skin. Natural vegetable oils do not cause allergies and have beneficial properties.
Extracts and extracts of plants (string, chamomile, calendula, aloe, etc.) are often included in the composition of hypoallergenic cosmetics; they are excellent for sensitive skin.
In order to buy high-quality hypoallergenic cosmetics for your child, contact only children's stores, supermarkets and pharmacies. The cosmetics on the market may be counterfeit.
Carefully read the composition and information on the packaging, do not trust the advertisements. Give preference to well-known companies that have been around for many years.
Having bought the product, test it on the elbow of the child or observe the child's skin for a week with everyday use of cosmetics.
