In the past summer, a daily bath for the baby, not only can take away the baby’s body excess heat and sweat, but also can reduce the occurrence of heat rash, insect bite dermatitis, but if all year round according to the summer skin care methods to operate, I am afraid that the baby’s skin to “suffer”. The weather has just turned cooler, and we have met many babies who have red spots, thickened and hardened skin, peeling and even cracking because of improper care. The weather is dry and cold in autumn and winter, and the skin is prone to dryness and peeling. The soft and delicate skin of the baby, low resistance, the ability to adapt and adjust to the external temperature is still very poor. Many parents are always worried about their baby’s unhygienic exposure to the outside world and frequently give their children a bath, but this should not be the case. The outermost layer of the baby’s skin is very thin, excessive bathing will destroy the skin’s “acid coat” and sebum, this coat is the baby’s natural barrier, not only against foreign bacteria, viruses, but also play a moisturizing effect on the skin, so excessive bathing can make the skin dry, rough, peeling, reducing the skin’s ability to resist the outside world. Especially in the northern dry winter, for those who already suffer from skin problems or more sensitive skin, dry skin texture of the baby, it is not advisable to over-bathing, otherwise it will stimulate the skin, aggravate the original disease, itching, thickening, peeling, etc.. For fat, metabolic baby can be selective bathing, such as the neck, underarm, vulva, perianal and other places can be appropriate multiple scrubbing. Also pay attention to two points, one is the water temperature can not be too high, because overheating makes the skin blood vessels, pores over-expansion, the drier the skin; two is not necessary every time with bathing liquid, because this season the baby activity is reduced, sweat, sebum are not so vigorous, more bathing liquid will aggravate the dryness. Therefore, bathing is not the more the better, more wash less wash depends on the nature of the skin and bathing effect. Skin care to be gentle Because of the dry weather in autumn and winter, moisture loss is serious, so many babies in the past, the delicate skin may appear dry and other situations. This is the time to take some protective measures for the skin, using some natural and mild, sebum-enhancing moisturizers, especially for babies who often go out in the sun. When selecting skin care products for your baby, you should choose those that are fragrance-free, ethanol-free, non-irritating, and have hydrating, water-locking properties for babies. For babies who already suffer from eczema or other skin problems, you can use a small amount on a small area, and if there is no discomfort you can rub a large area externally. Also don’t forget to apply after the bath. This can keep the skin moisture, can form a “protective layer” to stop the attack of external bacteria; and help improve the quality of life of atopic dermatitis, pruritus baby. Of course, if parents are feeling dry indoors, you can place a humidifier to keep the room moist, which is also good for the skin. Creating a gentle, non-allergenic environment can be a good way to protect the health of your baby’s skin. Dress with care Children should choose loose cotton clothing, never wear high collar, wool and chemical fiber clothing, family members should not forget not to let the baby’s skin contact with parents with irritating clothing, such as a cotton pad to do to isolate. Baby skin is delicate, detergents and disinfectants must be rinsed off to prevent unnecessary contact irritation. In addition, clothing should be appropriate. Because of the cooler weather, parents are always afraid of freezing their children, giving them layers and layers of clothing, and as a result, the more eczema is covered, the more powerful. As long as the child’s palms are about the same temperature as the parents, there is no need to add more clothes, and it is not advisable to wear too much to ensure that you do not catch a cold. The last thing you need to do is to eat properly. In Chinese medicine, it is said that “the treatment of the outside must be based on the inside”, the changes in the body, through the body’s meridians and blood, must be reflected in the human body surface, skin, so a reasonable diet should not be ignored. Give your baby more vitamin-rich food, such as green vegetables and fruits; usually drink more water to replenish the moisture of the body and skin, so that it is not easy to dry and cracked lips.
