There is more to baby skin care than meets the eye. Caring for your baby's skin means caring for all of a baby's skin. Skin conditions happen more often in newborns because newborn skin is not yet used to dealing with environmental factors that exist outside of a mother's womb. Good baby skin care means making good decisions all day long. Everything from the soap you use in the bath to the clothes you put him into will affect the condition of your baby's skin. Don't worry though: practicing proper skin care for your baby does not have to be difficult or complicated. With some basic common sense, skin care can be incredibly easy. Here are some hints that you can use to help you as you figure out your new routine.
A baby's bath does not need to last a long time. Believe it or not if your newborn's bath time lasts too long it can be harmful for your baby! The bath need only be long enough to wet the baby down, soap him up and then rinse him off. Once you have rinsed off your baby, rub some light (baby) lotion or moisturizer into his skin and then towel him dry. Thorough drying is imperative to make sure that your baby does not develop a rash or a yeast infection. After all, a newborn baby's skin has a bunch of folds in which moisture droplets can hide for ages! You want to use a soft towel to do the drying! Before allowing your baby to wear new clothes, play with new toys or use new bedding or towels, wash these items in a gentle and hypoallergenic detergent. The wash will help get rid of things that could irritate your baby's skin. This practice is one most adults keep throughout their lives. Don't you wash your new sheets and towels (and clothes) before you use them for the first time?
Try to keep your baby out of direct sunlight until he or she is six months old because regular sunlight is far too harsh for a newborn's skin to deal with. After your baby is six months old the direct sunlight won't be as big an issue but you still want to make sure that every millimeter of skin not covered with clothing or a hat is covered in strong baby friendly sunscreen.
You will also want to take extra precaution against the sun with hats and umbrellas. Any sunburn that does turn up can be treated with a cool soft cloth a few times a day for ten to fifteen minutes per application.
Practicing proper baby skin care can be done via a variety of methods like choosing the right Meaningful Beauty routine which most people with skin problems should have. There is more to proper baby skin
