How long does it take for a newborn's skin to turn white?

I believe many people have had this experience: when they see newborns, they find that their skin color is very different from that of normal people. When something goes wrong, parents are always worried that their children will still have the same skin color when they grow up, which will have a certain impact on their normal life. How long does it take for a newborn's skin to become like that of a normal person? How long will it take for my skin to become whiter and not be as dark or wrinkled as before?

Generally speaking, the skin of a newborn baby will return to whiteness in 6-8 months. The skin of a newborn is thin, rich in blood vessels, and has strong absorption and permeability. Therefore, do not use ointments on newborns at will, especially ointments containing hormones. Just wait patiently for the baby to grow, and the situation will gradually improve.

In addition, if the baby's skin is dry, make sure to let him drink plenty of water. It is best to apply some moisturizer after washing his face in the morning and evening, such as Beiyue baby skin care products containing calendula and chamomile ingredients. Make sure to eat more vegetables and fruits every day, so that the baby will not easily cause dry skin.

Another point is that if a baby has dark skin, it is often related to genetics. However, if the parents’ skin is not very dark, it may be because the jaundice does not fade well. You can take them out less often to bask in the sun, and the baby will grow up slowly.

What should we pay attention to when taking care of baby skin?

1. Cleaning

After getting up every morning, the mother needs to soak a soft towel or soft gauze in warm water and then wipe the baby's skin. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the five senses, for example, when the child finishes eating, don't forget to clean his mouth thoroughly. Be gentle when using the device. Do not wipe the baby's tender face with a rough towel, and do not use highly alkaline soap to clean the baby's skin. Before going to bed at night, you need to use soft wipes to wipe the baby's buttocks. Soft wipes suitable for babies have rich moisturizing effects and can effectively prevent "red buttocks" while cleaning. If conditions permit, giving your baby a warm bath every night is a better way to cleanse him.

2. Moisturizing

(1) Regulate from within. Parents should let their babies drink more water to replenish the water needed by the body.

(2) External moisturizing. Gently apply a warm, wet towel to your baby's lips to effectively replenish moisture. If the baby's lips are severely dry, it is best to apply infant-specific lip balm or lip oil to the baby. Sesame oil is also fine. After washing your baby's face, applying lotion and other moisturizing products in time can also effectively maintain the moisturizing effect. After bathing, parents need to carefully and gently dry the baby's body with a towel and apply lotion and other moisturizing products all over the body. This can effectively prevent skin moisture loss. When applying, parents can warm the moisturizer with their hands first for better absorption.

3. Sun protection

Babies' skin is delicate and fragile, so they need extra sun protection. When going out, avoid overexposure to the sun, especially "strong light" exposure. Here we would like to remind everyone that baby sunscreen products should not be mixed with those for adults, so as to avoid the added chemical ingredients causing harm to the baby's skin.
