Winter weather can be tough on children's skin, making it important to adjust their skincare routine. Here are some tips to protect kids' skin during the colder months:
Moisturize regularly: Cold air and indoor heating can dry out the skin. Use a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer to lock in moisture. Apply it right after bath time while their skin is still damp.
Use a gentle cleanser: Choose a mild, hydrating body wash or soap that doesn’t strip natural oils from the skin. Avoid harsh soaps or products with alcohol.
Warm (not hot) baths: Hot water can dry out the skin, so opt for lukewarm baths. Limit bath time to prevent further moisture loss.
Hydrate from the inside: Make sure your child drinks plenty of water to stay hydrated, as winter air can be dehydrating.
Dress in layers: To prevent chapped skin, make sure your child wears soft, breathable layers. Choose cotton or moisture-wicking fabrics for inner layers, and avoid rough fabrics like wool directly on the skin.
Protect from the cold: For outdoor play, apply a barrier cream or ointment (such as petroleum jelly) to areas prone to chapping, like cheeks, lips, and hands.
Use a humidifier: Indoor heating systems can make the air dry, so using a humidifier in the child's room can help maintain moisture in the air.
Lip care: Use a gentle, moisturizing lip balm to prevent dry, cracked lips.
Sun protection: Even in winter, the sun's UV rays can cause damage, especially during snow activities. Use sunscreen on exposed skin, particularly on the face and hands.
