What is the reason why children have dark skin?

Children's skin is generally white and tender, very cute and beautiful, but some children's skin may become darker. At this time, we must first rule out whether it is caused by congenital genetic reasons, and then consider whether it is caused by disease. So now the editor will give you a detailed introduction to what causes children's skin to become darker.

Cleansing in summer, moisturizing in winter

If you want your baby to have white skin, Liu Xiaoyan suggests that in terms of nutrition, parents can give their children foods rich in vitamins and hyaluronic acid (a component of the human dermis that can enhance skin elasticity and water-locking ability), such as meat, vegetables and fruits. These foods can moisturize the baby's skin and make the skin shiny. Also, don't expose your baby to too much sun. Although sunbathing is beneficial to the baby's bone growth and enhancing resistance, if the baby is overexposed to the sun, the combined effects of photoaging and phototoxicity will cause the baby's skin to increase in pigmentation, becoming rough and dark.

Mothers like to use a variety of skin care products to care for their baby's skin, but Director Liu reminds parents that blindly using whitening skin care products may be counterproductive. In fact, the secret to baby skin care is just twelve words: keep it clean in the summer and moisturize it in the winter.

Eczema may cause your baby to turn dark

In response to some parents' questions about "My baby has had eczema before. Is it because of the ointment that the skin turned darker?" Liu Xiaoyan said that skin inflammation itself will cause some changes in the pigmentation of the affected area, turning it white or darker. In addition, improper use of medication may also cause your baby's skin to darken. Many parents buy medicine and apply it to their children when they see that their children have eczema, but they may apply it improperly. Director Liu emphasized that if a baby has eczema and needs to apply medicine, it is necessary to follow the principles of local, short-term and intermittent application, and it is best to use it under the guidance of a doctor.

After listening to the above introduction by the editor, are you more clear? The above situations may cause the baby's skin to become darker. Usually, parents must pay attention to the children's diet, especially to supplement the children with nutrients, so as to better alleviate this situation.
