Baby skin care

Here are some well-intentioned tips to keep in mind:

Find the right products

When caring for a baby, it's important to avoid products that contain chemicals such as sulfates and parabens. It's best to find a brand that focuses on sensitive skin. Reading the product ingredients will help you choose a product range that is most suitable for your child.

Washing

It's important to understand the correct water temperature to use. Although many people believe that hot water is best for pores, it's actually better to use lukewarm water. Hot water often disrupts the skin's natural oil barrier. There's no need to burden delicate baby skin with harsh chemicals. From our range, you can choose gentle Wooden Spoon lavender soap.

Dry skin prevention

Dry skin is a common problem for all skin types. Olinka Nobilis Tilia 50 ml baby cream is an excellent product that does not cause irritation but prevents dry skin.

Many parents don't realise that it's not necessary to bathe young children every day. Showering or bathing three times a week is enough to keep your child clean without damaging their skin. It's also best to avoid hot water. Teach your child to gently rub their skin with a soft cloth or sponge, instead of scrubbing too hard.

Drink water

Many children don't like drinking water. However, it is an essential part of their diet. As parents, you need to make sure your children drink enough water to stay hydrated, especially in the warm summer months. This is usually the time when children run wild and sweat. In addition to serious medical conditions, dehydration can make the skin very dry. Two simple ways to get children to drink more water are to limit their choices and add fruit for even more flavour!

Pay attention to the seasons

In winter, children love to play outside in the snow. However, it is important to protect their skin from the wind and cold. Always cover their hands and face. Even if it seems cloudy, sunscreen is still essential. The sun's rays reflect off the snow cover and can still cause sunburn. Protection from UVA and UVB rays in summer and winter helps reduce the signs of skin ageing and prevent skin cancer in the future.

Because the heating at home runs at full blast in the winter months, the air can get extremely dry. It's wise to run a humidifier indoors to maintain moisture. This will also protect the skin.

Things are a little more complicated in the spring and summer months. These are the times when the sun is at its strongest. It’s important to always use sunscreen on your children. When choosing a product, it’s important to look for SPF 30 or higher. It should also protect against UVA and UVB rays. If your child will be swimming, a water-resistant product is recommended. For maximum sun protection, it’s best to apply sunscreen approximately 30 minutes before your child goes outside. Be sure to cover all areas of their body, including their hands, neck, ears, and shoulders. Dermatologists recommend reapplying every two hours. Protection from sunburn will help avoid signs of ageing in the future and protect against the development of skin cancer.
