Children's sensitive skin. How to properly care for it?
Children's skin is particularly sensitive and thinner than that of adults, so it requires special care. Due to its sensitivity, children's skin is prone to irritation, dryness and allergic reactions, which can occur due to various factors, including inappropriate hygiene products, environmental pollution or even food allergies. In order to protect children's skin, it is important to choose gentle, fragrance- and alcohol-free care products. It is recommended to use only soaps and shampoos specially designed for children, which should not irritate the skin.
How to protect children's skin when going outside?
The sun's rays affect children's skin very strongly for several reasons. First , children's skin is thinner and more vulnerable than adults', so ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage it more easily. UV rays are divided into two main categories , UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and can cause long-term damage such as skin aging and wrinkling, while UVB rays are responsible for skin burns and redness. Both of these types of UV rays increase the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, which is the deadliest form of skin cancer.
