BABY SKIN CARE

Baby skin care product

 Babies obviously have sensitive skin; so make sure you are using products that are gentle and specially formulated for them. It is common for little bumps to appear, but if they don't go away make sure you show your pediatrician.

Baby diaper

 Diaper rash can be very sore and painful. Change your baby's diaper often, and wash his or her skin with warm water. After patting dry, apply a thick ointment or zinc oxide as a protective barrier. 

Baby skin rash

If your baby suffers from diaper rash, consult your doctor and try leaving them 'naked', the open air will help to keep the skin dry and help cure the rash.        Baby soap

 

No need for soap! Don't wash your baby's bottom with soap more than twice a week. Soap can irritate your baby's sensitive skin and may lead to a diaper rash.

Cleanser free soap

Warm water really is enough some of the time and soap free cleansers can also be used 

Sunburn kid

Preventing sunburn in children is very important. Just one severe sunburn in childhood can double the likelihood of skin cancer in adulthood. 

 

To use sunscreen

Your children should make sunscreen a part of their morning routine. Studies have shown that regular use of sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher during childhood and adolescence can decrease the risk of certain types of skin cancers by 78%.
