Olive oil, known as "Liquid Gold" and "Queen of Vegetable Oils", is not only edible, but also widely used in skin care products. I believe many of us parents have also tried using olive oil to skin care our babies to relieve dry skin and prickly heat. However, if used improperly, it will have a negative impact on babies. So let’s talk about some correct ways to use olive oil for baby skin care.
First of all, it is very important to choose products with natural ingredients and simple formulas. Everyone knows that babies' skin is very delicate and sensitive, and synthetic chemical ingredients can easily irritate the skin. Therefore, parents must carefully consider the safety of products. Baby oil that does not contain colorants, fragrances, synthetic antioxidants, etc. is the first choice. In addition, before starting to use it on the whole body, you should first do a local test to observe whether there is any allergic reaction.
When applying olive oil to the baby, we parents can combine it with gentle and slow massage, which can promote skin absorption and relieve the baby's mood at the same time. In addition to applying it directly, parents can also put a few drops into the bath water when taking a bath, which is also a good choice.
One thing to remind is that although using olive oil for baby skin care has many benefits, you also need to pay attention to the dosage. The amount given to the baby should not be too much, so as not to cause an imbalance in the pH of the skin and damage the baby's skin.
