Baby skin is generally very sensitive and particular care needs to be taken when using any forms of skincare products lotions or oils on your baby.
Natural baby care products are often the best ones to use as they are usually a lot milder than other products and are less likely to cause allergic reactions.
Another thing to consider with babies is the fact that they have always got their hands on their mouth and anything that comes in contact with their hands is likely to get ingested so for this reason anything that you put on your baby’s skin needs to be safe for them as more often than not it will get transferred to their mouth.
Any moisturizers or powders that you put on the skin need to be safe not only due to the fact that babies do put their hands in their mouth but also because substances can be transmitted into the bloodstream transdermally through the skin.
You also need to consider the fact that the skin is also the way that the human body eliminates toxins from the system and if you are using any types of lotions or oils on your baby skin that could hinder the skins ability to eliminate toxins then this will be detrimental to your child’s health.
Quite often skin products that we might use on our skin such as oils and moisturizers can block the pores of the skin and stop this process of toxin elimination and allowing the skin to remain healthy and clear. You shouldn’t be using the same products on your baby as you would use on your own skin even though quite often baby skin can become quite dry. It is important that you use dedicated baby skincare products that are designed specifically for the type of skin that a young child will have taking into account sensitivities and various other factors.
All natural products are generally the safest to use but even then you need to be sure that the products that you are using are suitable for a young child as even natural ingredients can cause skin irritations and other skin problems.
