JAKARTA - Baby skin care has a great influence on children's physical and mental growth, especially in the golden age.

Pediatric social development expert, Dr. dr. Bernie Endyarni Medise, SpAK, MPH from the National Central General Hospital dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) said, in addition to nutrition obtained from breast milk and food, caring for baby's skin by paying attention to skin health and hygiene is very important.

"The most rapid brain development is in the golden age and if something happens at that time can have a long-term effect, this problem includes children who have skin disorders," said dr. Bernie in a webinar on Friday, December 3, reported by Antara.

"When a baby has a sleep disorder, it will not sleep soundly because during deep sleep there is such a thing as a growth hormone.

One of the steps that parents can take is to continue to maintain the health and cleanliness of the baby's skin with products that are friendly to their sensitive skin conditions.

"Skin care supports this growth and development process, because with the use of the right products, babies will feel more comfortable because their skin can avoid certain skin conditions such as redness, irritation, or itching," said dr. Bernie.

More dr. Bernie explained that the skin of newborns is different from the skin of adults. Baby's skin is more vulnerable and sensitive so it requires special care.

Baby skin is very easy to absorb because it has a thickness of 30 percent lower than adult skin, so it is important for parents to choose baby care products that are made from natural ingredients, are pH balanced, and have also passed dermatological tests.

"That's why we parents have to look for products that are suitable for baby's skin. If the baby's skin is irritated and not handled properly, it can cause infection," said dr. Bernie.
