Why children should also hydrate their skin

Just as it is essential for you (although sometimes we are very lazy) to take care of your skin and hydrate it, it is also essential for the little ones. We give you 2 fundamental reasons:

  1. They are just as exposed to pollution as adults and, therefore, to the adverse effects it has on our skin.
  2. The skin is the largest organ in our entire body and we do not always give it the attention it deserves.

Therefore, the sooner you incorporate the hydration routine in your children, the better, since, although at first it costs you a little, it will become part of their day to day and as they get older they will naturally incorporate it into their care. .

The best time to start new routines

And how to incorporate the hydration routine in children? What is the best moment? Let's start with a spoiler: the best time to start a new routine is any time. The important thing is to be consistent and stick with the new habit most of the day.

When they are babies it is very common that after bathing comes the time for creams, to give them a massage that not only relaxes them, but also takes care of their skin. It is a moment of tranquility, of pampering and of connection with the little ones.

When they are babies it is very common that after bathing comes the time for creams, to give them a massage that not only relaxes them, but also takes care of their skin. It is a moment of tranquility, of pampering and of connection with the little ones.

 

And when do they get older? The rush, the children's eagerness to move on to the next activity and our patience - which decreases as the hours of the day go by - take their toll and hydration after the bath takes a back seat.

Why not turn hydration back into that moment of calm and interaction with the children? Make them aware of the importance of this habit and make it a special moment among you, asking them about something that they are willing to share, be it the last game they have learned in school, a story about their friends or their favorite television program.

So the children will see that hydration is one more part of the bath routine and all in a natural and simple way.

What should you take into account when choosing the moisturizer for your little one?

Fundamentally that it is natural, without parabens, sulfates or allergens that can damage the child's skin. The less toxic it is, the better.

Argan or almond oil, calendula, aloe vera, or oatmeal sare natural ingredients that not only have a pleasant smell; They are also perfect for soothing the skin, nourishing it and taking care of it as it deserves.

It is also very important that the texture of the lotion is smooth, easy to spread and light. There is nothing more uncomfortable than a cream that leaves you sticky and has you waiting until it is absorbed.

The most widespread trick among Bontibú mothers to make hydration fun and appealing is to bring our little ones a little cream in their hands so that they know in advance the good smell that it will leave them. It does not fail!
