How can take good care of your children’s skin in winter? Here you can find some essential tips for keeping your children’s winter skin healthy and replenished. Dress properly –Dressing well is the key to protecting your child’s skin from dry and cold weather. According to the experts, you need to dress your kids in a hat to make them feel warm, insulated gloves to protect their hands against frostbite, and a woolen scarf to prevent their face and lips from becoming dry and itchy. Apply sunscreen –You must be wondering why kids would need sunscreen during winter. But please understand that the sun shines year-round; so sunscreen is also needed every day. UV rays reflect off the snow, hence outdoor activities like sledding and skiing would expose your child’s skin to the UV rays and this may lead to some skin problems. Use moisturizer regularly – Using a proper moisturizer is very important to keep children’s skin healthy during the winter months. You can apply a thin layer of moisturizer after their baths. According to the San Dimas CA pediatricians, you should never skip applying moisturizer even if the little one’s skin does not look dry or flaky. Invest in a humidifier –If you are planning to turn on the heater in your home during winter, it will make the air drier. Instead, you can think of investing in a humidifier for your children’s room, and running it at night will add some moisture to the air. This added moisture in the air would help prevent common skin problems like dry and itchy skin, nosebleeds, etc. You can even add a humidifier to your heating unit, as this would also serve the purpose. Limit bath time –Washing hands frequently or taking baths for a long time can lead to dry, chappy skin during the winter months. You can limit their bath time so that they do not spend much time in the bathroom. Moreover, instead of washing hands, again and again, they can try sanitizer sometimes. But please make sure they use moisturizer after taking bath or washing their hands. Oil massage – Giving an oil massage to your Preschool kids during the winter season is a good idea to keep their skin moisturized. Before taking them for a bath, give them a proper oil massage, and after the bath apply a good moisturizer. Following these two bathing rituals
