“Expert: Skincare for children is recommended to prevent acne and skin damage”
When it comes to controlling acne, good skincare for children is recommended. Dermatologist Dr. Jetske Ultee explains that using the right products and avoiding expired products is crucial. This also applies to makeup. Using too many and perhaps even irritating products early on can make the skin less resistant to dirt and bacteria, leading to acne, irritation, or even eczema.
Dr. Ultee is not surprised that skin problems are occurring in increasingly younger children. She attributes this to children being exposed to non-mild and perfumed products at a young age, sometimes even as babies. This exposure is leading to a significant increase in skin problems in young children.
Teenagers these days have a whole skincare routine, but young children should avoid some products. Ultee advises against certain products for adults that are not suitable for younger skin, such as high concentrations of fruit acids, which can make the skin more sensitive to the sun.
For children with some impurities, a good daily cleansing routine is recommended, along with occasional use of an exfoliant and sunscreen. However, scrubs should be avoided as they can damage the skin barrier and cause more sebum and blemishes.
Dr. Ultee provides tips for parents to monitor their children’s skincare routine, emphasizing that less is more when it comes to skincare. She suggests testing products on the inside of the arm to check for any skin reactions and teaching children about proper skincare and sun protection.
Dr. Ultee advises that occasional experimentation with makeup is okay as long as the skin is cleansed properly at the end of the day. However, parents should keep an eye on usage and quantity and watch out for any skin reactions.
In conclusion, Dr. Ultee emphasizes the importance of a simple yet effective skincare routine for young children to prevent acne and skin damage. By using the right products and monitoring usage, parents can help their children maintain healthy and resilient skin.]
