How does darling skin dry do?

Baby's skin is tender and tender at ordinary times, but it is easy to become dry in autumn and winter. What is the reason? How do mothers restore the baby's skin to be tender?

Causes of dry skin in infants

1, thin skin and tender meat

The baby's skin thickness is only 1/3 of that of adults, so any stimulation may cause discomfort to the baby's skin, such as climate change, changes in clothes thickness and materials, etc. , will hurt the baby's skin.

2. Decreased sebum secretion

During the period from birth to about 2 months, sebum secretion will be more vigorous due to the protection of hormones obtained from the mother during the fetal period. But after this time, the original "protective cover" gradually disappears, and the baby's sebum secretion will decrease rapidly, so it is easy to become dry and rough.

3. Large water demand.

The baby's sweat hole density is high, but it is often very active, which leads to the baby's body water evaporation and more demand for water. If you don't replenish water in time, your baby's skin is prone to problems.

4. Changes in external factors such as climate and environment.

After autumn, the precipitation decreases, the sunshine is strong, the air becomes less humid than in summer, and the baby's skin adjustment ability and resistance ability are still weak, so dryness has become a common phenomenon of baby's skin.

How to deal with baby's dry skin

1, replenish water in time

Because breast milk contains a lot of water, breast-fed babies do not need to replenish water, while breast-fed babies should pay special attention to supplementing boiled water. Generally speaking, a baby after 2 months can drink 60 ml of water every day, depending on the actual situation of the baby. Boiled water is the best hydration choice.

Step 2 do a good job in sun protection

Baby's pigment layer is thin, skin pigment cells are few, and it is easy to be burned by ultraviolet rays in the sun. Although sunlight is beneficial to the baby's healthy growth, the ultraviolet rays in sunlight will damage the natural tissues in the baby's skin. Therefore, it is essential to apply sunscreen skin care products to your baby when you go out. Baby sunscreen should choose professional baby sunscreen lotion.

Step 3 use moisturizing products

The dermis and fibrous tissue of baby's skin are very thin, very delicate and sensitive, and its ability to resist dry environment is poor. Emulsions and creams containing natural moisturizing ingredients generally contain moisturizing factors, which can effectively moisturize your baby's skin; Moisturizing oil generally contains natural mineral oil, which can effectively prevent chapping and moisturize the skin.

Step 4 leave a layer of natural protective film

The baby's skin is not fully developed and the ability to control acid and alkali is poor. He just relies on an acidic protective film on the surface of his skin to protect his skin. When taking a bath, you can use pure and gentle products such as baby shower gel or baby soap to thoroughly clean your baby's skin and leave a natural protective film on your baby's skin.
