What are the characteristics of skin development in infants and young children? What should I pay attention to in infant skin care?

The skin physical structure of infants and young children around 1 year old is relatively complete, close to adults, but the stratum corneum is about 30% thinner than that of adults, water loss is easy, skin barrier function is not perfect, easy to cause skin dryness, redness, itching and other problems due to water loss, external environmental stimuli, etc. Therefore, the skin care of infants and young children should pay more attention to the gentleness and moisturizing properties of the product to help strengthen the skin barrier.

At the same time, unlike adults, the sweat dirt of infants and young children is easy to stay in the armpits, groin, umbilicus, buttocks and other skin folds, especially the buttocks, due to frequent contact with urine and feces, etc., if improper care can cause local skin diaper dermatitis, that is, red butt. Therefore, a gentle infant shower gel should be used for a thorough cleanse, and special areas of the buttocks can be intensified.

What are the characteristics of baby eye development? How to choose a care product for your baby?

Babies are born with a blink reflex, but babies only blink 2-5 times per minute compared to adults who blink 12-20 times per minute, so they cannot be protected by blinking for a flash. Moreover, the corneal tissue of infants is more sensitive and weak, and it is more likely to suffer physical and chemical damage from the outside world. At the same time, chemicals may also be absorbed throughout the body through the tear duct structures in the eye. Therefore, for babies, choose less irritating, gentle bath and shampoo products.

What are the characteristics of the behavioral and emotional development of infants and young children? How to perform skin care?

Infants at different stages will have different behavioral characteristics in the process of development: infants aged 0-6 months are in the initial stage of development and need careful care and comfort from parents. Parents can establish an emotional connection with their baby through gentle eye and voice communication, and at the same time can do some gentle skin care, choose gentle care products, and establish rich multi-sensory stimulation, such as: bathing, moisturizing, touching, etc., to make the baby feel more secure and comfortable. Babies aged 6-36 months gradually develop brains, babies learn many new skills, including crawling and walking, curiosity about things, can maintain a long attention span, learn to find things, etc., need to pay more attention to gentle cleansing and moisturizing care. Children over 3 years old are an important stage of development, and can build social skills through play, learning, and communication with their peers, and will also have more time for outdoor activities, and pay more attention to sun protection while doing a good job of daily care.

What should be paid attention to when scientifically choosing to use children's cosmetics?

Consumers can choose the right products according to the needs of children of different ages.

Sunscreen products: For newborns, outdoor activities are less needed. Infants under 6 months of age have delicate skin, a high ratio of body surface area to body weight, and are more likely to have adverse reactions when applying sunscreen products, so sunscreen products should not be used, and going out in direct sunlight should be avoided (10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily). If you need to go out, try to protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat, umbrella, light cotton clothing and other physical covers. For infants and young children from 6 months to 2 years old, still cover the sun with clothing, you can also use physical sunscreen products within SPF10/PA+, and cream products are preferred.

Bath and skin care products: The pH value of the skin surface of infants and young children is about 4.0-5.9, and existing studies have shown that maintaining a weakly acidic environment of the skin is important for the development of the skin barrier, so infants and young children are suitable for choosing weakly acidic washing products. The frequency and time of bathing for infants and young children should be determined according to individual needs, combined with different seasons and environments, usually bathing once a day or every other day, and choosing less irritating, gentle bath and shampoo products. Within 5 minutes after bathing, you should use infant skin care products to apply to the whole body, every 12 hours or as needed, and choose different emollient products according to the dryness of infant skin, season, environment, etc.

It is recommended that consumers who purchase children's cosmetics from legal channels can log in to the website of the State Food and Drug Administration or the mobile APP "Cosmetics Supervision" to check whether the label identification information of the purchased cosmetics is consistent with their product registration or filing information; If it is inconsistent, the product quality is questionable. Consumers should properly preserve the product and check whether the product is within the validity period, whether it is contaminated due to improper sealing, etc. If your baby becomes unwell after using children's cosmetics, stop using the product immediately and pay attention; If symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention.
