We parents know that babies more sunshine, can promote the absorption of calcium, but in the hot summer, baby how to scientific sunshine, sunburn prevention? The necessity of baby sunscreen Baby’s skin is delicate and smooth, touch is particularly comfortable, this is because the skin of infants and young children is much thinner than that of adults, mainly because the stratum corneum is much thinner, and the stratum corneum is the first barrier of the skin sunscreen, reflecting and absorbing ultraviolet rays, the thinner the stratum corneum, the more ultraviolet rays into the deeper skin layers, resulting in the more serious the damage caused, excessive sunburns can cause skin sunburns, prolonged exposure to the sun will also Causes pigmentation increase, immune dysfunction and later skin aging and skin cancer. In addition, babies often play outdoors, accept ultraviolet radiation longer than adults, ultraviolet damage has a cumulative effect, the longer the time, the more serious the damage to the skin, so the baby’s sunscreen is more important than adults. How to give the baby sunscreen? 1, the most important thing is to reduce the time of sun exposure. Our outdoor activities, as far as possible to avoid the time from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., because this time the most intense ultraviolet rays. 2, must be active in the sun, be sure to bring a wide-brimmed sun hat; wear long-sleeved clothes; the best choice in the sun can not be direct sunlight in the environment, such as under the eaves of the roof, under the tree, under the umbrella, etc., to avoid direct exposure of the skin in the sun. 3, the correct choice of clothes can also reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays. All clothes have the function of sun protection, but different colors and fabrics, the effect of sun protection is very different. In terms of color, red is the most able to block ultraviolet rays, because the red wavelength is the longest, absorbing the widest range of spectra, the most sunscreen; darker clothes are more light-colored sunscreen, white is the worst sunscreen effect of the color. As far as fabrics are concerned, chemical fiber fabrics have the strongest ability to reflect ultraviolet rays, of which polyester fabrics are stronger than acrylic fabrics; in natural fabrics, linen sunscreen effect is better than the cotton silk effect. Loose-fitting clothes allow more air flow between the clothes and the skin, making it easier for sweat to evaporate and the skin to be drier, and dry skin is more sun-protective than moist skin. Therefore, it is very necessary to add some linen loose clothes to the baby in summer. 4, more eat some sunscreen food can also help the baby to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays. Preferred food rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C is the “eternal beauty of the Holy Grail”, can be antioxidant, whitening, in tomatoes, kiwi, strawberries, oranges in the content of a lot. Secondly, soy products are rich in phytoestrogens, which have a strong antioxidant effect and can also reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays. 5, drink more water. Let the baby’s skin is fully moisturized, better maintain the baby’s skin barrier function, the skin’s sunscreen ability will be a little stronger. 6, choose the right sunscreen. Sunscreen products can be divided into physical sunscreen (reflect ultraviolet radiation) and chemical sunscreen (absorb ultraviolet radiation), the former is mainly titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, a large number of foreign studies have shown that these two ingredients will not penetrate into the skin inside, very safe; the latter ingredient is a lot of the main use of chemical components to absorb ultraviolet radiation into heat or molecular vibration. Nowadays, many products are mostly synthetic products that contain both. Therefore, the higher the sunscreen index, the more physical or chemical sunscreen ingredients contained in the sunscreen, absorbing or reflecting ultraviolet rays at the same time, the greater the stimulation of the skin, so according to the baby’s out of time, the intensity of the sun and the place of play integrated to choose. It is generally accepted that it is okay to use sunscreen on babies over 6 months of age, but we don’t have definitive data on the need for sunscreens before 6 months of age. Before applying sunscreen, be sure to use it 30 minutes in advance, first apply a small amount on the inside of the child’s arm, the root of the back of the ear and other parts of the child’s arm, if there is no abnormal reaction, then continue to use it, and avoid the child’s eyes and mouth when applying. If the child outdoor sports more than 2 hours, it is best to reapply a sunscreen, because sweating will make the effectiveness of the sunscreen is reduced, even if the waterproof and sweat-proof type of sunscreen in the child after a lot of sweating need to be reapplied Symptoms and response to baby sunburn In the sun, even if the baby’s skin just become pink, it also shows that the damage has quietly started. This is because the symptoms of sunburn usually show up at night or the next morning. 1, mild sunburn Babies in the sun after 3 ~ 5 hours after the sun appeared to be sunburned parts of the appearance of clear boundaries of red spots. There may be peeling of the skin on the tip of the nose, forehead and cheeks. The erythema has a slight burning, tingling sensation. Sunburn symptoms usually peak within 12 to 24 hours of sun exposure. Response: If your baby has suffered a minor sunburn, first drink plenty of water to replace lost moisture. Secondly, use a cold towel to apply a wet compress to the sunburned area to achieve the effect of replenishing skin moisture, lowering skin temperature and reducing skin burn; try giving him a bath or using moisturizing products. Bathing can cool the skin and calm the emotions, while moisturizing products can replenish moisture for dry skin. 2. Severe sunburn The redness of the sunburned area deepens in color. Edema and blisters appear, and pain is very obvious. If sunburned feet, the skin of the feet may appear puffy. Chilliness, fever, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and other systemic symptoms may occur when the sunburn area is large. Response: You should seek medical attention promptly. When you are not sure that you have the certainty of dealing with your baby’s skin, you should also see a doctor in time and use anti-allergy drops for external application instead of any other ointment. Do not use vegetable oil, because after the sun may sweat a lot, the skin is dehydrated, vegetable oil is not only useless, but may cause damage to the formation of pigmented spots.
