JAKARTA - The baby's skin is very sensitive so it requires special care. Because the baby's skin is very susceptible to problems such as allergies, rashes, Badminton, and dry skin, do not carelessly give skin care.

As a tropical country that is lighted by the sun throughout the year, the skin is an important organ to protect. For the heart, parents must be careful in choosing baby skincare.

dr. Deva Putriane, Cht, CPHCT says baby skin and children have special characteristics that make them more fragile and sensitive than adult skin.

In addition, the surface of the child's skin is two to three times bigger than that of adults because the surface/weight ratio is higher. Doctor Deva explained that structurally, there is a fundamental difference between the adult's skin and the child and the baby.

Doctor Deva said every baby has a different skin type. Some of them are dry, sensitive (atopic) and normal skin. So, make sure to choose the skincare of the baby that suits the skin type.

"Products are suitable for children. We know first because the baby's skin is very sensitive. So if you want to use products, we first know the condition of our child. What needs to be considered is the skin type of a child," said Doctor Deva when met at the Jakarta Convention Center, Saturday, July 1.

Doctor Deva explained that products aimed at babies are not yet fully effective when used by adults. Likewise, adult products are not necessarily safe for use by the skin of babies and children.

Therefore, effective products used by all family members must be formulated carefully. According to him, the Multipurpose Balm product is very suitable for all types of babies.

"Adult breaths are considered to have pores that are more massive and tend to be oily than baby skin. Adult skin also has a different Ph than babies," he said.

Celebrity Dwi Handayani Syah Putri or better known as Dwi Handa has special attention to skin health, especially for its immediate family members.

On the same occasion, Dwi Handa admitted that he was quite selective in choosing skincare for his child. He only uses products that use natural ingredients.

"The important thing is natural ingredient (natural ingredients). Then, after that it doesn't contain alcohol and doesn't contain parabens. So, it's safe for the child's skin," said Dwi Handa.

So selective in choosing skincare for children, Dwi Handa did not even hesitate to ask for direct recommendations from doctors.

"Sometimes I don't have time to consult a doctor. But if I have a consultant to a doctor, I like to ask 'Doc, can I not use this brand?', 'How come it's okay, it's good for the child's skin', usually that's it," said Dwi.

"If you don't bring the products, so that the doctor can read the composition," he continued.

Since her child was three weeks old, Dwi admitted that he had provided his children with skin care products, including lotions and batches.
