How to use baby cream and baby oil correctly. Rating of the best oils from different manufacturers for skin care of a newborn baby

The birth of a child is one of the most memorable events in life. But the baby in the house is not only moments of boundless happiness. A young mother gets a lot of trouble in addition. The baby needs special care and it is extremely important to approach this issue competently. Among the must-have cosmetic products, skin care oil plays an important role. It is applied from the first days of life. What oil to buy for a baby? What to look for when choosing and which manufacturer can be trusted? It is precisely these questions that we will deal with.

Why Use Baby Oil

Even during the preparations for the maternity hospital future mom must purchase essential supplies. As a rule, the corresponding list is provided by the doctor who observed you throughout the pregnancy. The list necessarily includes oil and cream. These products treat the skin of a newborn in order to moisturize, cleanse the epidermis and avoid diaper rash in the folds.

Later, when you are at home, you will use baby oil for massage. You will rub it on the baby's body after bathing. You will wipe all the folds with a cotton swab dipped in oil to prevent diaper rash. The oil perfectly nourishes and moisturizes delicate baby skin. It is especially important to use it if there is a problem of dryness. In addition, in certain cases, it is allowed to use diaper oil instead of cream or powder.

Oil or cream?

Many parents wonder if it is possible to change the oil for a cream. In the arsenal of children's cosmetics, both products are needed. And each of them has its own application. For example, the cream is more used topically. As a rule, they are treated with certain areas, and not applied to the entire body. Oil is a universal remedy that can help out in different situations.

The difference between butter and milk

Parents are also interested in the difference between butter and milk. What is best for newborns? The main difference is in the consistency. Applied to the skin, the milk is absorbed just instantly. It is good to use it for cleansing. This is a soap replacement. Such a tool maintains a water-fat balance well.

The task of oil is somewhat different. It protects the skin from minor mechanical damage. For example, when rubbing against a diaper, clothes, a diaper. The oil also retains the elasticity of the epidermis and eliminates the problem of dryness. It is difficult to answer unequivocally which is better. This is not to say that one tool is indispensable, and the other is not worth attention. The smart decision is a compromise. You can alternate the use of oil and milk without fear that it will somehow harm the baby.

How not to make a mistake with the choice?

Using the wrong remedy, you risk first of all the health of the baby. An allergic reaction is far from the worst consequences. For example, some products contain parabens. These preservatives can have a very negative impact. Scientists have proven the toxicity of these substances. Moreover, with regular use of cosmetics with parabens, there is a tendency for them to accumulate in the body. No mother wants to knowingly put her own child at risk. That is why before you buy, you should learn how to make the right choice.

To buy the best oil for a newborn, you need to pay attention to:

on the composition of the product (among the ingredients there should be no harmful components);
on the date of manufacture and expiration date;
smell (neutral), consistency (liquid), color (transparent);
on the appearance bottles, legibility of the font, the integrity of the packaging.

Everything that is applied to the skin penetrates inside. The best oil for newborns natural composition. In this regard, excessive scrupulousness does not interfere.

What kind of oil can massage a baby?

In ancient times, it was a mandatory attribute of a children's first aid kit. This product is odorless and protects the skin well. But it has long been known to everyone that petroleum jelly is a product of oil refining. It forms a very thin film on the baby's skin, which prevents normal perspiration, thereby contributing to the development of prickly heat. To avoid such an unpleasant effect, it is necessary to use the minimum amount of the product during the massage, and after the session, bathe the child.

The famous doctor Komarovsky says that oil for massaging babies should be edible, and excludes the use of vaseline for this purpose in children of the first two years of life.

Vegetable oils

Olive oil is used to massage children due to its content of fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic. The substance is well absorbed by the skin and eliminates the peeling that often overtakes the baby.

Peach oil is often used in the care of a small child. It is made from peach pits. Peach oil can be lubricated with natural folds to prevent diaper rash and used for massage in infants. The tool has anti-inflammatory, softening effects on the skin.

Wheat germ oil will help moisturize the baby's skin. But, unfortunately, it can cause allergies.

Oil is also made from such an exotic fruit as coconut. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Before use, the oil must be warmed in a water bath so as not to irritate the child with cold touches and for better gliding over the surface of the body. Some tools, such as Coconut oil, must be diluted before use, as use in its pure form can cause unwanted skin reactions.

Everyone vegetable oils may be preferred. But it is better to use products that are specially adapted for delicate baby skin with the help of optimally selected concentrations of substances. Such a product does not form a greasy film and is not excessively absorbed into the baby's skin, carefully caring for it.

So what can be used to massage and moisturize baby's skin? Naturally, it will be better to use all natural. So let's talk about the ten most useful oils.

Coconut oil. It is recommended to use only refined and add to ready-made cosmetics up to 30%. Used as an excellent moisturizer, suitable for the treatment of diaper rash and seborrheic dermatitis. It is hypoallergenic and odorless. Creates a barrier on the skin that protects the child from the effects of adverse environmental factors. It has bactericidal properties, suitable for the complex treatment of dermatological diseases. Ideal for dry skin, but should not be used on the face and neck.
Corn oil. It is produced from corn seeds, it is transparent and practically odorless, which is very good for a child. It contains vitamin E in an amount exceeding 10 times the content of the same vitamin in olive oil. Used as a base for massage, if desired, you can add a couple of drops essential oil: lavender - to calm the nervous system, chamomile - to relieve flatulence. If the child does not sleep well, you can rub corn oil on his feet, hands, back of the head, knees and elbows for 5-7 minutes.
Peach oil. Can be used in its pure form for children from two weeks of age. If the baby has dry skin, then peach oil in this case will be indispensable. With constant use, the skin will become soft and velvety. You can also instill 1-2 drops into the nose before cleansing it. Suitable for the prevention of various skin diseases.
Apricot Kernel Oil. For massage, it can be used in its pure form, which is very convenient and practical, because daily massage promotes muscle tone, has a beneficial effect on the lymphatic system, thereby accelerating the flow of lymph, and stimulates the activity of the nervous system. Perfect for moisturizing and eliminating rashes, to combat seborrheic dermatitis and prickly heat. Usually does not cause allergies.
Sweet almond oil. Contains a large number of vitamins A and E, suitable for use in its pure form. Helps in the fight against diaper rash in babies, helps with abrasions and dermatitis. Suitable for massage of all skin types, it is used only in a refined form, which reduces the risk of allergies.
Shea Butter. Solid oil, can be used for sensitive and flaky skin. The oil contains a large amount of vitamins that help it fight dermatitis and diaper rash and produce a healing effect. Used to relieve inflammation, irritation and redness. In a vulnerable place it is necessary to apply every day.
Olive oil. Great as a food supplement. It is better to choose oil of the first cold pressing. You can start giving children from six months, adding it to ready-made dishes so that there is no thermal effect on the oil, in which it can lose its beneficial features. In its composition, olive oil contains Omag-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, E, D and K, which help the baby in his development. It should be added to food gradually, starting with 1-2 drops, bringing it up to half a teaspoon by the baby's first anniversary, and be sure to observe the child's reaction. Olive oil will help to easily transfer the child to adult food.
Avocado oil. It is used in mixtures for application to the skin up to 10-15%. It has a healing effect - heals wounds, fights viruses, fungi and bacteria. It can be used in complex therapy in the treatment of skin diseases. Increases the protective properties of the skin, improves blood circulation. It can also be added to baby creams to protect the baby from the sun's rays.
Lavender essential oil. You can add it when bathing a child or for a massage, after these procedures the baby will calm down and fall asleep easier. For body application, add just 4-5 drops to 2 tablespoons of base oil. Massage will help relieve inflammation and irritation, and improve skin resistance to adverse factors.
Wheat germ oil. Very fatty oil, therefore, it is used on its own for rubbing children with excessively dried skin. It may also have a beneficial effect on oily skin, because it reduces the secretion of the sebaceous glands, preventing dirt from entering the skin pores. Accelerates metabolism, detoxifies and improves elasticity.

In order for the massage to bring a pleasant sensation to the child, the following rules must be observed:

hands should move easily over the skin, that is, with poor sliding, additional irritation may occur;
we apply the oil on our palms, rub it and warm it so that it is by no means cold;
start standing from the feet and continue to move up;
when using oil or ready-made formula for the first time, first apply a small amount on the wrist, and the next day check if the child has allergies;
be sure to follow the reaction of the baby, it is very important that all procedures evoke only positive emotions in him.

Have you heard this joke about baby oil? Something like:

“If corn oil is made from corn and peanut butter is made from peanuts, then what is baby oil made from?”

Answer: Baby oil is made from mineral and aromatic oils by industrial specialists; children are underdeveloped fine motor skills or not enough knowledge of chemistry to make baby oil.

Baby oil is proving to be useful for a wider range of purposes than just baby hygiene. It can smooth, soften, lubricate, clean, polish and more. Of course, do not forget about the uses for which this oil was originally intended.

Check out some unusual tips and methods for using baby oil:

Method #1: First, DO NOT do this

Don't use baby oil as a "personal" lubricant, especially if you're using a latex condom. ( Just look below, point number 2, to see who wins the latex vs baby oil battle.)

Do not use it as a sunscreen or sunscreen. Melanoma looks bad enough.

Don't drink baby oil. It has laxative properties and is probably not tasty. ( Mineral oil in small amounts is usually safe for human consumption, but only in milligrams. Some of them are used in bakeries and other food industries because they are odorless and tasteless. I think that part of the children's mineral oil is not food so stop, don't drink it.)

Do not use it in a 2-stroke engine.

Do not point baby oil at pilots. Wait... it seems to be about lasers. But still, be careful with baby oil near the helicopter pilot. You can, for example, slip and fall, and besides, pilots prefer the smell of aviation fuel.

Method #2: Wipe latex paint off skin

I worked as a house painter for a couple of years. And of one thing I was always sure, that I did not make my hands anyway at the end of the day, they would be stained with paint.

Latex paints and primers have a disgusting feature. Sometimes they are simply removed like rubber glue, but most often they remain on the knuckles for several days. Whenever soap and other products did not help, baby oil always came to my rescue.

Rub the part of the body on which the paint has fallen a little, use a cotton swab, rags, a napkin, or something else that is at hand. Without applying too much pressure, rub in circles on the outside of the stain. Baby oil is not a scrub, it is a more gentle and gentle remedy.

It worked when I flipped over 20 liters of paint on myself after tripping over a ladder. This amount of paint covers not only the usual "problem" areas (hands, specks on the face, etc.), it also penetrates into some unusual places that can be very sensitive to paint removal. Presumably the oil decomposes the latex to the point where it begins to flake off. That's why condom + baby oil = one great event 9 months later.

Method #3: Massage Oil

Use baby oil as a massage oil. Remember our instructions about latex above. Rubber gloves will degrade as well as air balloons and possibly some parts of hand massagers.

Method #4: Earwax Removal

When in-ear headphones were just beginning to enter our lives, I became deaf in one ear. Panicked, I went to the doctor, only to find out that I had a wax plug, earwax clogged my ear and I couldn't hear. It's unpleasant, isn't it?

For temporary hearing loss, there is a simple home remedy: baby oil!

While you are lying on your side or tilting your head so that the affected ear is pointing up, pour 5 drops of baby oil inside your ear. Leave it there long enough for it to dissolve everything in there, and then let it drain onto a towel or sink. You can use a small amount of warm water and a syringe WITHOUT a needle to wash away any residue.

Method #5: Makeup Removal

Put some baby oil on a cotton pad. Rub gently where you want to remove make-up. You can use a second cotton pad to remove excess oil.

This unusual application of baby oil has 2 advantages at once: it removes makeup and makes your eyelids soft and supple.

Method #6: Bath Oil

Add a small amount of baby oil to the water the next time you take a bath. This will make your skin soft and silky. Can prevent wrinkling of the skin from water.

Method #7: After Shave Cream

Use baby oil as a shaving lotion for any type of shaving EXCEPT as shown in this picture.

Use baby oil as an aftershave on any part of your body other than your face. It works best as a layer over traditional moisturizers to lock in freshness.

Method #8: Keep Warm

In our area, the air temperature is below -10 degrees Celsius for almost half a year. My niece uses baby oil or petroleum jelly as extra protection for exposed skin when she goes to school. This appears to prevent facial frostbite and dry skin.

But usefulness and practicality always have a reasonable limit. You will not be able to go outside in one underwear in the cold, when even birds fall from the trees. The oil will not save you, although it can certainly increase the time it takes for you to turn into ice.

Method #9: Soften Heels and Cracked Feet

If your heels are cracked, dry and unsightly... baby oil and a sock will help.

Apply some baby oil to your heels before bed and put on your socks. You will be pleasantly surprised when you wake up.

Method #10: Reduce Stretch Marks During Pregnancy

Clearly, I'm not actually pregnant. Not a woman. You will not be deceived even for a second.

Apply some baby oil to soften your skin and prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. I heard good feedback about cocoa butter, as well as about shea butter. Pretty much anything oily and absorbent.

But baby oil should be just perfect, since you're lubricating the oil directly into the baby's temporary home.

Method #11: Quick furniture polish

If your dinner starts in ten minutes and you've just noticed horrible water stains on your countertop, fear not. Baby oil will save you by providing a quick polish.

Mineral oil will give a nice and lasting shine to your furniture, creating a waterproof barrier that will surprise any of your guests. In addition, it will give a pleasant baby scent.

Method #12: Untangle the chain

Sometimes your necklace gets so tangled that it just seems impossible to untangle it. Before throwing away your gold and diamonds in frustration, try a baby bath. It will lubricate all metal parts and stones, making it easier to unravel. After soaking the jewelry in the bath, use a pin to untie tangled knots.

Congratulations! You just saved your marriage by not throwing away expensive jewelry. You are welcome.

Method #13: Remove Gum, Wax, or Band-Aid

If you get stuck in gum, dripping wax on your skin or hair, baby oil will help remove it. Apply a small amount to the affected area, leave it there for a while, and then simply wipe off with your fingers. This will make it easier to remove the gum, soften the wax, and help remove the old bandage that has stuck to it without pulling out the hair.

This is especially good way removal of excess wax after depilation of the eyebrows or bikini area.

For those of you who remove bandages more often than body hair, applying a little oil around the bandage is a great option if you don't have the courage to just rip it all off in an instant! With a little patience, the band-aid will start peeling off on its own, don't even touch it! Confident but gentle, here's the way to do it. Cruel love.

manager 09:00 How to use correctly baby cream and baby oil
