Aloe vera gel is very popular among people, and many people will have a box of aloe vera gel as a must-have, especially for acne and skin burns, which can be applied with aloe vera gel. Many people have heard that aloe vera gel is extracted purely from plants, so they want to know if babies can apply aloe vera gel and whether it has any impact on their health. So, can babies apply aloe vera gel? Let's take a look below.
Can babies apply aloe vera gel
Although aloe vera gel is extracted purely from plants, it is not completely plant-based and may contain some chemical ingredients. Therefore, it is best not to use aloe vera gel for babies under one year old to avoid the impact of chemical additives on their skin and health. If you want to use aloe vera gel, it is best to choose baby specific aloe vera gel.
What things should not be used indiscriminately by babies
1. Alcohol
After many babies have a fever, parents will use physical methods to cool down, so they often use alcohol to wipe various parts of the baby's body. In fact, it is not wrong to use physical cooling for babies with a fever, but do not use alcohol to cool down. It will cause the baby's skin to rapidly relax and contract, which is very irritating to the baby and can even lead to alcohol poisoning in severe cases.
2. Toothpaste
Babies are lively and active, and burns are very common. Many parents are afraid that their babies' skin will have sequelae, so they use toothpaste to apply to the wound. In fact, after a baby is burned, it is not advisable to apply toothpaste to avoid leaving many side effects. Therefore, babies with burns should be rinsed with tap water to relieve pain.
