Winter skin care and eczema prevention for children

  In autumn and winter, the most important problems encountered by the skin are cold and dry, and common skin diseases in children include eczema, hives and other allergic diseases. To deal with the cold, everyone knows to keep warm, however, dry skin is often neglected. In winter, to keep your skin moisturized for a long time, you should apply moisturizer. The drier the skin is, the more the amount and times of applying moisturizer should be increased. At the same time, you can take a normal bath, not because the skin is dry for a long time without washing, of course, do not over-ironing, we advocate to give children 1 to 2 times a week bath. Such a reasonable bath with emolliency, not only to ensure that the skin clean, but also to keep the winter skin moisturized, can reduce 60% of the winter skin diseases. When your child’s skin is not just dry, but has symptoms such as a rash, or sometimes it is itchy and the baby’s skin appears to be scratched, you need to go to the hospital and seek help from a professional doctor. For baby skin care, we can pay attention to the four aspects of bathing, moisturizing, wearing, nutrition, etc. Moms and dads quickly learn it!  1, bathing Water temperature should not be too high, generally required to control within 39 degrees Celsius; washing time should not be too long, generally speaking, 5-10 minutes is enough. In addition, the scalp and fold parts of the application of children’s bathing products, in the limbs or dry skin used sparingly or not.  2, emollient In the dry season, the most important skin care method is to rub more emollient, according to the degree of dryness of the baby’s skin to choose the type of emollient. Choose emollient milk when the skin is slightly dry, and choose emollient cream when the skin is obviously dry. Usually apply 1-2 times a day, however, if the dryness is significant, it is recommended to apply several times until the skin is moisturized and very smooth to the touch.  The skin of infants and children is thin and sensitive, and compared to adults, there are more irritating factors. For example, sometimes when a child is breastfeeding, there is often saliva or milk irritation to the skin of the cheeks around the mouth, so this part of the skin will be drier than other parts, and for such parts, it is necessary to apply moisturizer diligently. The purpose of applying moisturizer is to keep the skin moisturized and isolated from external allergens. Once again, I would like to remind moms and dads that applying moisturizer to your baby’s skin care is not a task that can be accomplished by applying it 1-2 times a day, but rather, the number and amount of moisturizers should be decided according to the state of the local skin, keeping an eye on the state of your baby’s skin and applying it flexibly. Many parents ask which kind of moisturizer to use, in fact, the Institute of Pediatrics homemade moisturizer – silicone cream one (also known as dimethylsilicone cream), is a very safe and effective medical skin care products, clinical application for many years, safe and non-irritating and good emollient effect.  3, dress The child’s usual clothing should try to ensure that the material cotton, wearing loose, do not wear too much, too thick, according to the temperature and the amount of activity changes, timely increase or decrease clothing. Usually, and parents wear the same thickness can be maintained.  4, nutrition Adequate nutrition is also an important condition to keep the child’s skin delicate and smooth. Usually, parents should pay attention to balanced nutrition, guide children not to be picky eaters, a variety of vitamins and trace elements should be adequate intake. Winter weather is cold and dry, in this season to eat more egg yolk, carrots, green leafy vegetables, animal liver and other foods rich in vitamin A, B.  In short, the focus of autumn and winter skin care is to moisturize the skin.
