Products for baby skin care
Choosing the right products for baby skin care is very important. There are many different products available, but not all of them achieve the desired effect. For adequate care and refattening of the skin, the use of oils, creams and lotions is recommended from birth.
Refatting products not only care for the upper layers of the skin, but also penetrate into deeper areas and provide moisture. The lipid content of the individual products can vary greatly depending on the cream and its area of application.Normal lotions, which can be used for daily application or after bathing, contain about 20% fat. Creams that are applied especially in winter to protect against the cold have a fat content of 70%.
PH-neutral care products support the baby’s skin in forming the body’s own acid mantle. Products containing fragrances, colorants or alcohol should not be used, as they attack the skin and can lead to irritations and allergic reactions in the form of rashes. Kaufmanns Skin and Child Cream is a skin-friendly care cream for babies.
It is also recommended to use creams containing urea, as this strengthens the skin layer and reduces water loss. Products that are quickly absorbed and easy to spread are particularly suitable for baby skin care. Always take care not to apply the cream too thickly to avoid heat build-up, which can lead to baby rashes, irritation and pimples.
For optimal skin care for babies, old household remedies are often used. The use of vegetable oils is preferred by many parents. Often conventional olive oil is used.
It can either be applied in such a way to the baby skin or be added as an additive to a bath. The application of olive oil on baby skin has a calming, relaxing and caring effect. The fats present in the oil nourish the skin layers and provide them with moisture.
Irritated skin areas are cleaned and the skin feels softer and fresher. A massage of the baby with olive oil not only strengthens the condition of the skin, but is also good for the well-being of the child. It strengthens the connection between parents and child by increasing and intensifying physical contact.
Other home remedies that are often used in baby skin care are milk, honey and aloe vera. These products also have a caring and calming effect and soothe severe itching. For irritated and highly irritated skin areas, the application of chamomile or quark can alleviate the discomfort and improve the skin condition.
Chamomile can be boiled off simply as tea and then, after cooling down briefly, applied to the affected skin areas. Chamomile has a calming effect and promotes the healing process. Quark not only provides moisture, but also develops an anti-inflammatory effect on damaged skin areas.
