Childrens skin, muscles , bones all are developing and are sensitive .They can get irritated, burnt or badly effected by chemicals or even too much concentration of some natural ingredients . There are specific guidelines on essential oils and other ingredients in natural products which should be adhered to while designing products for children. Also depending on age bracket of children, products can be beautifully designed to give healthy skin and bone development.So the skincare for children should be carefully selected and should always be natural and mild specifically designed for their age group. In sylvanpotions we take the age group their requirements and body conditions into considerations while selecting the ingredients and their concentrations. To ensure that they get the purest and best combinations of ingredients which will not only ensure good skin but will not interfere rather aid in overall healthy development.

A childs skin care should avoid harsh soap. I strongly recommend the baby massage gel to cleanser which is carefully designed to avoid not just harsh chemicals but is totally preservative free and well designed to clean, nourish and disinfect childrens skin.It is good to nourish the skin with a balm designed to suit their requirements. A body lotion should be used to seal the moisture later during the day.Products if well designed can ensure good growth, stronger bones and muscles and good sleep and hence good mood in children.

Such products are meant for regular use and have beneficial longterm effects.

The best approach to protect the childs skin from dryness is using avoid harsh soaps, replace with glycerin based mild soap or gel to milk cleansers. Use a good quality well formulated body oil for bath. If the weather is too dry or if the child has a very dry skin then using a body balm after bath is a good idea. Use balms which have fast absorbing oil and ingredients which lock in moisture and keeps the skin supple and hydrated for long.At night or in the evening its good to use a natural body lotion or body butter for drier skin. This should be supported with hydrating with drinking sufficient water and balanced nutrition rich food.

Consider picking natural products , with certified ingredients. Always try to read the ingredient list and ensure that there are no toxins, artificial colors or flavors which can irritate the skin. Look for preservative free products if necessary. Its best to look into the benefits of using the product if yoou are not sure about the ingredient list and their utility. For lotions or creams ensure that they have been pH adjusted and tested from accredited labs. I strongly recommend the use of products which have been designed to nourish and protect the skin .

Baby balm should be applied atleast once a day after bath. This will ensure fast absorbtion,lock in moisture and protect the baby skin from getting dry for long. But it is best not to apply balm just before going out in the sun or dirt because it can attract dirt .Oil or butter before going out in the sun in tropical countries can cause tanning.In such cases its best to apply it in evening or before retiring to bed. Apply it after cleaning the skin properly . Pick up balms with fast absorbing oil , it avoids sticky feel on skin.Also check for balanced profiles which have allround benefits.

Ofcourse, skincare like healthcare is like a discipline which should be a part of everyday routine.It helps to nourish the baby.Massage improves blood circulation and lymph circulation. It also helps the baby bond with the mother ,since the mothers touch and affection aids the babys growth both physically and mentally.But the point to keep in mind is the product should be safe and chemical or toxinfree. You wont want to overload your baby's system with unnecessary chemicals. Always choose natural products that are mindfully created keeping safety, purity and the babys necessity in mind. Such a product should be not just natural but have a right mix of ingredients which a baby of that age group will benefit from.That is why I strongly recommend the food based approach because that helps in skin development, bones development, improves skin barrier,gives anti inflammatory benefit, often anti bacterial,anti fungal benefits.
