Infants’ skin is naturally delicate and fair, but if not properly cared for or exposed to external stimuli, it may become rough. At this time, taking appropriate measures promptly is crucial to improve the skin condition.
In daily care, parents should pay attention to several key points. Firstly, control the frequency and water temperature of washing the baby’s face, once or twice a day is sufficient, avoiding too high water temperature. Frequent use of hand wash, body wash, and hot water washing may remove the natural oils of the baby’s skin, leading to dryness, cracking, redness, or itching.
Secondly, selecting appropriate skincare products for infants is crucial. The gentlest choice is undoubtedly plain water. If cleaning products are needed, prefer products with simple ingredients and only basic cleansing functions to avoid additives such as disinfectants that may cause allergic reactions in baby’s skin. Mild skincare products like vitamin E cream or silicone cream are also good choices.
Furthermore, do not forget to care for the baby’s little hands. When you notice the baby’s hand skin is dry and wrinkled, soak it in warm water for a while to soften the skin, then gently clean and thoroughly dry it, followed by applying a generous amount of hand cream. Keep the hands dry, apply hand cream again before going out, and consider wearing gloves to prevent dryness and cracking.
These suggestions are simple and practical, easy to incorporate into daily life. It is recommended that parents read and practice carefully for unexpected situations. When the baby’s skin becomes rough, follow these suggestions for care to help the baby’s skin quickly restore its original softness and smoothness.
