Would it be an exaggeration to say that we are living in a contradiction? Every day, a new skincare product is launched and stocked on the shelves of your nearest safe, and consumers are being bursting on the crazy number of options. So much so that the most hoarding products do not require them, which is an exercise disgusting by dermatologists.

Meanwhile, there is also a category of people who love rich in nostalgia. It is as if the time has closed for them, but only when it comes to their skincare routine, as they have never gone beyond the child’s products for soft, soft and innocent skin. Even you need to stop!

The delicate skin of an baby can not make your adult skin any favor. If you are using baby cream as your go-to moisturizer, this may be time for upgrades.

Baby Skin vs. Adult Skin: Major Difference

Advisor beauty doctor at Glenaigals Hospital Bangalore. According to Ruby Sachdev, the baby cream is designed for the baby skin, which is too thin, high in water, and produces less oil. Their needs are different than adult skin.

On the other hand, adult skin is very thick, produces oil, sebum and sebacial glands, and are exposed to a rigid environment such as stress, pollution and UV rays. Therefore, a moisturizer for infants may not be sufficient to provide enough hydration and protection for adult skin.

Dr. Niceta Sonwen, Celebrity Dermatologist and Ambrosia founder, Mumbai, agree. She explains that adult skin loses moisture faster and requires repair material, as well as deeply hydrate. Meanwhile, baby creams are very basic for this. While they can feel soft and soothing on the application, they do not contain active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides and peptides (skin blockage protection), which benefits from adult skin.

Are baby creams really ineffective for adults?

While there is no denying that the skin can feel like a child for time, it is not long and the reason for it.

Many children rely on cream mineral oils such as oakfuse, which sit on the skin rather than hydrating or addressing issues such as aging, sun damage or pigmentation.

Dr. Sachdeva further states that adult skin benefits from additional elements such as SPF for sun protection, exfolnts such as AHAS and BHA for skin renewal, and semids, Shea butter and vitamin E to combat moisturizer and environmental damage.

What about other baby products?

Not just baby cream, many people also use baby shampoo, soap and lotion. Are they good?

Many people choose baby shampoos, body lotion and soap options, thinking that they are Jentor options. But when these products are light, they often decrease when it comes to cleanliness and hydration.

Baby shampoo: “Designed to be tear-free and ultra-mild, baby shampoo does not clean adult scalps thoroughly. If you use styling products, colored hair, or an oily skull, will not be effective, baby shampoo will not be effective,” says Dr. Sonwen.

Baby soap: These are very light to remove sweat, oil and pollution. Over time, it can lead to dull skin and closed pores.

Baby Lotion: They have a lack of rich hydration required for adult skin, baby lotion will not effectively combat dryness or damage caused by environmental conditions (such as pollution).

He said, you cannot call them useless at all because people with certain conditions can use them. “For extremely sensitive skin, conditions such as eczema or atopic dermatitis, child products can be helpful as they avoid harsh chemicals,” Dr. Sachdev noted.

But for everyday use, the adult skin requires more anticipated care.
