Baby and Child Skin Care

Baby’s skin is delicate and less resistant to bacteria and harmful substances so can be easily irritated. It’s also important to protect the skin of young children to help prevent any future issues.

Some of the ways to prevent any future issues include:

*Teaching children good hygiene practices- frequent and thorough hand washing to help prevent spreading of germs, bacteria and viruses

*Wash using fragrance /dye/chemical free washes , pH neutral.

*Moisturize skin with creams and ointments to avoid dryness

*Use sun protection when UV is rated 3 or higher

*Check for rashes or flare ups and check these with Doctor

*Avoid nylon fabrics that may irritate skin

*Keep hydrated

*Lead by example and make skin care routines fun. Be interactive!
