Most parents hope that their children are white and chubby, because white and chubby babies look very cute. And generally speaking, babies who are fair-skinned when they are young will not become very dark when they grow up. But babies need the sun, which can speed up their growth. Many parents get their babies tanned when taking them to bask in the sun. How should they recover at this time? 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. "Black" with "yellow" is caused by overnutrition If the skin is not only black but also a little yellow, there may be two reasons. One is jaundice caused by disease. In this case, in addition to the yellow skin, the baby's sclera (around the black eyeball) will also turn yellow. The other is overnutrition. Due to excessive supplementation of carotene (such as always eating pumpkin, carrots and other foods rich in carotene), carotenoids are caused. The child's nose and palms will also turn yellow, but the eyes are not yellow. In this case, parents should reduce the baby's intake of such food. After a period of metabolism, the baby will return to a healthy state. When facing your own "black" baby, you must be a clear-headed and discerning parent. The reasons for different "black" methods are also different. If the skin appears to be localized and blocked, it may be related to improper use of medication. If the skin is evenly black, it may be due to excessive sun exposure. If the skin is dark and rough, parents should pay attention to the baby's nutrition. In addition, Director Liu reminded that the weather in winter is dry and cold, and the baby's skin may become dark and rough. If you pay attention to daily care, the skin will naturally improve when the weather warms up. |
