The skin of a newborn baby differs from that of an adult,
which means
it requires special attention.
How to properly care for a baby's skin and what problems may arise?
When buying cosmetics and care products for yourself or your baby,
carefully read the product composition.
Why is this important?
Synthetic dyes,
fragrances,
preservatives,
colorants, and other harmful substances,
often present in cosmetics,
are foreign substances,
отягощают иммунную систему человека, накапливаются в жировой ткани.
Через кожу мамы (или материнское молоко) эти вредные вещества проникают в кровь малыша и становятся причиной различных заболеваний и нарушений в организме.
Когда мы не видим полного состава косметики,
которую собираемся купить - это повод задуматься: нужна ли она нам и малышу?
Как мы можем быть уверены,
что она действительно безопасная?
Выбирайте те комплексы по уходу для мам и детей,
which contain only natural ingredients, without synthetic colorants, preservatives, emulsifiers, flavorings, genetically modified organisms. The basis of good cosmetics consists of 100% natural vegetable oils, which support the skin's functions in a natural way, do not form a film on its surface, blocking the pores, allowing the skin to breathe.
* Do not leave the baby lying in wet diapers, regularly and frequently change the baby's diapers and nappies * Be sure to wash the baby with warm running water and a small amount of baby soap after a bowel movement (defecation), as well as with each change of wet diapers or nappies, paying special attention to thoroughly cleaning the groin folds * Before putting on a new diaper or nappy, leave the baby without clothes for a while so that their skin can "breathe" in fresh air * During the morning wash, be sure to conduct a wet treatment of the natural skin folds with a cotton swab, moistened with warm boiled water, special lotion, or wipe them with baby hygiene wipes, dry, and apply care products. * Bathe the child daily – only in this case will the hygienic bath ensure a healthy condition of the skin of a young child. The baby should be bathed at the same time before one of the evening feedings.
It is advisable to store cosmetics at a constant temperature.
After opening the packaging, the shelf life of cosmetics is significantly shorter – 6-9 months.
Why does your baby need safe care products without synthetic substances and mineral oils?
- The stratum corneum of a baby's skin is 5 times thinner than that of an adult
- Higher absorption capacity
- Skin respiration is 8 times more intensive
- Imperfect thermoregulation
- Perspiration is inadequate to temperature change
- Thin protective layer,
underdeveloped lipid barrier
- Weak activity of sebaceous glands
- Easy vulnerability and susceptibility to infections,
as well as high sensitivity.
To keep your baby's skin healthy,
follow these hygiene rules:
* Keep your baby's skin dry at all times,
* Bathe newborns in filtered and boiled water with the addition of a 5% solution of potassium permanganate (manganese) to a light pink color until the umbilical wound heals. The water temperature should be comfortable - 36-37 degrees Celsius.
* If the umbilical wound is oozing, do not bathe the child.
* If the child has diaper rash, rash, or skin irritation, add chamomile infusion, oak bark decoction, string, or celandine to the water.
* After water procedures (bathing, wet wiping, washing), dry your baby's damp skin with gentle patting motions of the towel (do not rub!)
* Wipe the baby's skin folds at least twice a day (during morning care and after evening bathing).
On clean and dry skin of the buttocks and groin folds, apply a protective care product,
spreading it evenly in a thin layer over the entire area,
требующей предохранения от излишней влаги и раздражающего воздействия естественных выделений
* When washing diapers and children's clothes, use baby soap or special baby powder
* Frequent hand washing should not be neglected by the mother herself,
as well as by others caring for the baby.
