Summer nursing babies delicate skin

Some young parents to avoid baby affected by eczema, Dermatitis, diaper dermatitis Candida and other common skin diseases of infants in the summer, and frequently give the baby a bath, when doing so is likely to backfire. Recently in Shanghai published according to a new baby skin research results, compared with adults, new-born baby skin with the seven characteristics, also needs moisturizing sunscreen, frequent bathing, or too much sun is taboo baby skin care.


The seven characteristics include low secretion of sebum, skin thin and vulnerable, maintaining the PH value of the skin\'s ability to balance weak, more prone to drying of the skin, anti-UV poor, newborn infants do not have \"blink reflex\" protection mechanism, easy \"red ass\". Research shows that to promote bone growth, particularly of vitamin d synthesis, infants should moderate the Sun. But parents in particular be careful of is that baby skin melanin functions is far lower than adults, not effective in blocking ultraviolet rays, it is easy to burn.


Baby skin more prone to drying


Infant\'s skin is very delicate, mainly because of the binding of epidermal and dermal dysplasia full, and the body responsible for the epidermis and DermIS in combination is called a \"half-bridge grain\" structure, layer between the layers and superiority of weak, epidermal easy peeling, prone to defects under force. Therefore, external stimulus, scratching, slightly with a touch of all loss and skin. New-born babies have a natural protective layer – Vernix caseosa. Research results show that total sebum levels in neonates and adults very close, but Sebaceous secretion declined rapidly after birth, and infant age glands small, also no sebum secretory granules in the cells concerned. When it came to birth a month, sebum secretion has been reduced to the original 20%, started to reply only until the age of 8, 12 years to stabilize at a higher level. Sebum is essential to form the surface of the skin\'s protective acid membrane.


Experts say newborn skin PH value close to neutral, to 7. Within a week after birth, because the cuticle cells the phospholipase A2 skin gradually acidification, lowering the PH value of the skin to 5.5~5.9 levels in adults, or even lower. However, normal acidification depends on the stratum corneum of the skin surface retention of complete and sebum, therefore, infant skin unlike adults can alkaline substances and in the outside world, even more vulnerable.


Baby skin water content higher than the adult, neonatal skin moisture of 74.5%, infant is 69.4%, and 64% skin water only for adults. However, despite the baby skin absorption of external water ability, but because of the barrier function of the imperfect, volatile quickly in water, thus easier to dry.

Summer babies prone to \"red ass\". This is because the newborn skin permeability than adults. Due to bowel of reason, baby hip special much cleaning, lipid-soluble substances and alcoholic solvents easy opportunity for penetration through the skin. Coupled with a baby hips under the package of diapers, environmental humidity without ventilation, and diapers have more friction, hence \"red ass\". It is also this infant diaper dermatitis of the most common causes of skin disease. According to statistics, by enzymes in the wet, manure mixture of irritation and friction injury, each occurs once every 3 months diaper dermatitis in infants.
