Dryness of
skin is a common problem that can be seen in babies. It can be seen during
winter conditions as well as that in summer periods as well. While the cold -
dry weather causes dryness, the role for the same during summer is that of
excessive heat (which can be from the heat air, sun) and from air conditioning
as well....! In order to cope with dryness, you can take care of some small
things that you often forget to.
A bit care while bathing: Doing so gives you a lot of pleasure,
right..? However, please do have a look for some care here as you are most
probably going to remove the natural skin oil present in the baby's skin during
the process. So, in order to prevent these problems, you might prefer a quick
bath for your baby in a warm water (Be cautious not to have hot water instead
of warm water). Apply only mild cleanser that is PH neutral. They don't have
the hardness usually found in regular bathing soaps and are much gentle too.
Oil bath: This is a great remedy to be applied
after bathing the baby. Applying a small layer of light oil after the baby's
skin got out from the water content, can help her/him to get hydrated. Using
vegetable oils can be a good option as they usually are high with essential
fatty acids. However, make sure that the oil coat is not that thick, which will
lead to further problems for your child's skin. So, avoid overusing it as
well.....!
Safe play with weather: As you go through various weather
conditions, know that your baby too is going through the same and also be aware
of the fact that they won't be able to cope with as you do. So, be aware of
their skin condition and act according to that. While it is winter out there,
cover your baby well in order to protect him/her from getting dried up. However
if it is summer that is making your child a bit uneasy, then look for some moisturizer
that suits your' baby's skin. It is extremely important not to allow your baby
gets sunburn as well.
Moisturizers with care: Applying moisturizer too has a lot to
do with the kind of attention you pay for selection of the type of it. It is
you who have to decide which type of moisturizer that goes well with your baby.
If it is thick that you prefer, go and consult a pediatrician to know if your
child's skin is that much dry. However, you are not advised to apply a moisturizer
that is too thick in nature and go for moisturizing twice a day instead.
Well, as is
the case with the above mentioned items, these are the ones that come
associated with normal cases. Well, if your witness any marked difference in
the normal texture of your baby, have a look for the following ones, which will
all help you to restore it to the back position.
An alternative to soap: Having said that you are required to use
gentle soaps instead of regular ones, it too at times might not suit the skin
condition of your baby. In that case, powder of green gram mixed with civet
musk turmeric can be a good solution. In fact civet musk turmeric offers a wide
variety of options with which it can be applied for the goodness of your baby’s
skin. It can be applied along with milk powdered cus cus and badam powder. Some
other options are fresh ground turmeric mixed with coconut oil, turmeric powder
with lemon juice, beetroot juice with turmeric powder etc. Grated tomato pulp
too is another great option.
As is the case with the skin
care of your child, it deserves utmost care from you. After all, it is you who
can make it alright or go awry….!
