Organic Baby Skin Care
An increasing number of mothers are opting for Organic Baby Skin Care products because of the reliability they offer. We suggest care and discretion in using different kinds of skin care products that are generally used for babies as they often have adverse effects. Below you'll find several tips to help you care for the skin of your baby in a natural way.
Soaps
Though plain water is good for baby skin, soaps may be required. Only use very mild soaps with your baby as harsh soaps are more likely to cause irritation. Soaps with olive, coconut or palm oil and herbal extracts will be helpful. Pediatricians worldwide recommend against using antibacterial soaps.
Replenishing the skin after soaping with soothing oils.
Bubble Baths
Many bubble bath products available in the market for babies are based on detergents. These detergents destroy beneficial bacteria and harm the baby's acid mantle(a necessary part of healthy skin). Also bubble baths are the leading cause of urinary tract infections in young children. However, if you still want to scent your baby's bath, add a bit of lavender oil (5-10 drops) and salt to the water.
Lotions and Oils
Massaging oils and lotions into the baby's skin can relieve irritation. But anything that is used should be free of petrochemicals
Baby Powder
Many baby powders contain particles that can irritate your baby's skin. However baby powders without talc can be used on the underarms, genital area, and neck.
Baby Skin Care in Sun
Babies under the age of 6 months should not be brought into harsh direct sunlight between 2-6 pm when the suns rays are the strongest. The sun's rays will damage the skin of babies very quickly. So try to keep the baby indoors, or in shade during these hours.
Damaging UV rays are reflected from sand, snow, or concrete. Be careful when in these areas. A suntan is really just skin damage, do not fool yourself into thinking its something special and baby oil is not a sunscreen; it offers no protection at all. Remember, a minimum of sunlight with a well balanced diet will provide all the necessary vitamins your baby needs.
Winter Skin Care for Baby
· Different seasons require different kinds of skin care. It's the same with baby skin.
· Applying moisturizing creams on the dry areas of baby's skin is a must.
· The number of baths that babies are given need to be reduced. Also reduce the time taken for every bath.
· If possible use a humidifier to increase moisture. This helps to ease your baby's breathing during the nights.
· Don't bundle children up too tightly - Heavy layers can make children sweat, leading to skin irritation, while under-dressing can expose your child's skin to the elements.
Infant Skin Conditions
Persistent wet, soiled diapers and the use of unnecessary baby products, such as powders, creams, lotions and oils, causes recurrent diaper rash. "When a baby has diaper rash, parents should remember to change diapers frequently, use a warm, wet washcloth instead of pre-moistened baby wipes on the bottom and apply a barrier cream with zinc oxide to the affected area," recommends Dr. Cambio.
Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is an itchy, oozing, crusting rash that occurs mainly on the face and scalp, but patches can appear anywhere. Eczema treatment can include the use of an over-the-counter or prescription topical, steroid-free antihistamine.
Baby acne, which can have the appearance of pimples and whiteheads along the nose and cheeks, is quite common in newborns. This condition usually clears within three weeks without treatment.
Birthmarks, the two most common types of which are hemangiomas and port-wine stains, may increase in size as a child grows. Port-wine stains are present at birth, while hemangiomas may not immediately appear. Oral corticosteroids can be prescribed or a pulsed-dye laser can be used to significantly improve the appearance of these birthmarks.
