For swimming
Bathing with emollients is an effective way to care for the delicate skin of your baby. This procedure is advised by dermatologists.
However, the following rules must be observed:
- if emollients are used, then other cosmetic products cannot be used;
- after the procedure, the skin needs to be wet without rubbing;
- after that, the required emollient must be applied to the skin.
Special emulsion for bathing:
- gently washes the skin of an infant or adult;
- favors the proper functioning of the epidermis;
- protects and reduces skin sensitivity to irritants.
To bathe a baby for 1 bath, you will need 15 g of emulsion. This is half a measuring cup. Adults, on the other hand, need to pour 2 times more emulsion into the bath - a full measuring cup (30 g).
A water treatment using a bathing emulsion should last a quarter of an hour. After that, it is necessary to dry the skin, but this should be done with caution, trying not to wipe it off. By itself, the emulsion possesses not only healing, but also detergent properties.
For skin care
When caring for the skin, it is important to use substances that can penetrate deeply into the layers of the epidermis. Products that work only on the surface will not be effective enough.
