YOUR BABY'S SKIN CARE: what to do and what to avoid

Let's debunk the myths about some common habits and choose only natural products

Skin is not just a simple covering, but the largest organ we have. And children's skin is definitely very delicate. It is therefore essential to avoid products that could alter its normal pH and cause irritation.
There are also some common misconceptions about children's skincare that absolutely must be debunked: no to talcum powder, overly frequent baths, and products containing synthetic fragrances, especially all those so-called "for babies" that in reality offer no guarantees in terms of quality.

In fact, experts are questioning some habits that are very widespread among mothers. Let's look at them in detail:

A bath every day? Better not.
If done every day, it unnecessarily stresses children's skin, which has to go through many important steps, such as structuring its own defense. The situation is worsened by washing children multiple times a day, at every diaper change, or even by using aggressive cleaning products.

Daily cleansing should only be done on certain parts of the body: face, hands, feet, and intimate areas; exclusively with natural products based on olive oil or vegetable milk and, above all, free from petrochemical substances.

And what about talcum powder during diaper changes?
Still no. It can be replaced with some more natural powders based on starch or bran, but not always. Perhaps when it is very hot, but it must be kept in mind that children sweat more, and therefore an occlusive substance is not recommended.

Cleansers, perfumes, and wipes?
Avoid perfumes for babies that could create irritation or allergies. Also watch out for wipes, especially if they contain harmful substances derived from petroleum.

The products to prefer are always those of natural origin, free from parabens, silicones, and synthetic fragrances.
