There are also various types of skin, with the most common being dry skin, oily skin, and combination skin. Different types of skin have different conditions, and of course, there are also differences in the methods used. Generally speaking, whoever has dry skin is prone to dandruff. Let's take a look at what to do if your baby has dry and dandruff?
What should I do if my baby has dry skin and dandruff?
1. Apply children's moisturizer. Remember to apply a layer of moisturizer after each baby's face and bath to effectively lock in moisture in the skin and prevent dryness and peeling.
2. Proper hydration, plain water is the best choice for skin hydration. It not only replenishes the lost water in the baby's body, but also has various beneficial effects such as heat dissipation, regulating water and electrolyte balance.
3. Supplementing with vitamin A can regulate the metabolism of the epidermis and stratum corneum, soften the skin, and prevent dryness. Therefore, it is recommended to give babies more foods rich in vitamin A every day, such as carrots, mangoes, spinach, pumpkins, etc.
If it is caused by eczema, it is necessary to actively treat eczema while moisturizing to avoid any impact on the baby in the future.
What are the reasons for dryness and peeling on babies?
1. Tender skin: Baby's skin thickness is only one-third of that of adult skin, with less subcutaneous lipids. Subcutaneous lipids can help maintain moisture balance in the skin, so baby's skin cannot lock in moisture well and is prone to dryness and peeling.
2. High water demand: Baby's skin area is much larger than that of adults, and their sweat pore density is high. The clothes they wear are thick and the temperature is high, which causes a large amount of water evaporation in their body and increases their demand for water. If they do not hydrate in time, it can cause dry or even peeling skin in their baby's skin.
3. Climate and environmental changes: In autumn and winter, the climate is dry, and babies' skin regulation and resistance abilities are relatively weak, unable to adapt to weather changes. Therefore, their skin will become dry. If they do not hydrate in time, they will develop dryness and peeling.
Therefore, if the baby's skin is relatively dry, it is necessary to do a good job of moisturizing, and at the same time, give the baby more water and do a good job of sun protection, so that the baby's skin can be tender and less prone to dandruff. Of course, it is also important to pay attention to ventilation at home, especially in winter when windows should not be tightly closed, otherwise the situation may worsen.
