The skin in children, and especially in infants, is very thin and delicate. Therefore, she needs special protection. Crumbs often suffer from diaper dermatitis. Their skin, thin as tissue paper, wears under diapers. Irritations begin, which leads to a deterioration in the general condition of the baby. Therefore, you need to carefully select baby creams.
Now in the market of cosmetic products there are more than a thousand items. Which are the best? In this article we will consider the Alice cream for children. Mom's reviews of him became the basis for writing this essay. As it turned out, not all women use baby creams (including Alice) exclusively for child care. Many users believe that, if used correctly, this cosmetic product can have a rejuvenating effect for adults, eliminate facial wrinkles and remove peeling. Is it so? Learn from this article.
What properties should a classic baby cream have?
The skin of babies is drier than that of adults. The epidermis is saturated with moisture, but in aggressive weather conditions, for example, in cold weather, it quickly loses it. The thin skin of a baby can be damaged by anything! And she is prone to inflammation and irritation. And children may be prone to allergic reactions. Paradoxically, in a humid environment, the baby's dry skin suffers from diaper rash. Here, with these often conflicting tasks, a classic baby cream is called upon to cope. Alice is a product of the Russian cosmetics concern Liberty. He also produces other products for children - Tik-Tak, with a kitty and a dog. Now baby creams can be both universal and perform special functions. For example, to apply under a diaper (the cream contains talcum powder), be anti-inflammatory, weatherproof, used for massage, after an evening font, etc. The manufacturer classifies Alice as universal baby creams. That is, the tool can be used in all cases of life.
What you need to know about the composition of baby creams?
The ingredients can be very different. Often in baby creams there are extracts of herbs and vitamins. But regarding the base, these cosmetics are divided into three large groups.
The first is a greasy base. Herbal extracts and vitamins are dissolved in natural oils - mink, olive, sunflower, less often palm.
The second group of baby creams - with a water base. These are various emulsions that are well absorbed. But they have a minus: they can cause allergic reactions.
The third group - creams on a lanolin basis. This is a new generation of baby skin care cosmetics.
And to which group does the Alice (Freedom) cream for children belong? We suggest you familiarize yourself with the composition of this cosmetic product. It is indicated both on the box and on the back of the tube. Frankly, users express mixed opinions about the components of the cream. Let us dwell on this in more detail.
Children's cream "Alice": composition
The manufacturer himself (concern "Freedom") assures that only natural components are used for the products. So, the foundation of the cream is precious mink oil and lanolin. In addition, the composition is supplemented with extracts of medicinal herbs - thyme, yarrow and chamomile, as well as vitamin A. Now we will study the list of ingredients that appears on the product packaging. Here we see, first of all, mineral oil, which is a product of oil refining. To further thicken the texture of the cream, the manufacturer added confectionery fat to it. What pleases, lanolin is also present in the composition. The manufacturer did not deceive the expense of medicinal herbs and vitamin A (retinol palmitate). But the list also contains elements that are not completely understandable to ordinary people - ceresin, polyglyceryl-2-sesquiisostearate, PEG-45 / glycol dodecyl copolymer, benzyl acetate, magnesium sulfate, linalool, geraniol, citronellol, benzyl alcohol. Not all users liked the perfume composition, which also appears in the composition.
The properties
Baby cream "Alice", as the manufacturer assures, gently and carefully cares for the sensitive epidermis of babies. You can use the drug from the third month of life. Thanks to chamomile, the cream relieves irritation, prevents the occurrence of inflammatory processes. Yarrow calms the skin, heals microcracks and damage. Thyme, like chamomile, has an antimicrobial effect. The cream is hypoallergenic. Vitamin A has a regenerating and tonic effect on the skin. Oils with lanolin soften, eliminate dryness and peeling, restore the hydro-lipid balance. The cream creates an invisible breathable film that protects against a harmful environment (moisture, diapers, frost, wind and sunlight).
Children's cream "Alice": price, reviews
This cosmetic product users have found many positive qualities. Children's cream can be found not only in specialized stores, but also in any supermarket. The product is packaged in a tube with a cap. Such packaging is optimal. Bacteria do not enter the cream; contact with air and fingers is minimal. But the most important positive quality of the cream is its very low cost. All users agree with this. The purchase of Alice cream for children, the price of which is only 60 rubles, will not hit even the buyer with a small budget. As for other qualities, opinions were divided. Perfumery fragrance, according to some users, gives the product an unpleasant, synthetic smell. Also controversial reviews about the consistency of the cream. He is too fat, and after him I immediately want to wash. Cream from such a dense texture is poorly absorbed and stains clothes.
Instructions for use
It seems, why read it? After all, Alisa baby cream is not an electronic technique. I smeared the child - and all the short life. But due to the dense texture and abundance of oils, improper use of the cream will only lead to a greasy shine, an oily film on the skin and stained clothing. Therefore, it does not bother to read the instructions. Care should be taken to cleanse the skin of sebaceous secretions and other impurities. It is necessary to thoroughly wet the water remaining after hygiene procedures. Baby cream is applied not on the face of the child, but on the palm of an adult. Rub and fingertips smear the skin of the child. We are waiting for complete absorption and only then we put on the diaper. Before going out into the cold and wind, apply an additional amount of cream to the baby’s nose and cheeks. And most importantly, children from three months old can use Alice Cream!
Can adults use baby creams?
Cosmetics for babies are enriched with oils that are designed to soften dry skin, create a protective film from wet or cold environments, and soothe irritations. And these same components are known for their anti-aging effect. Consider what “Alice” offers us in this regard (cream for children, 40ml). For hands, especially with weathered or too dry skin, the lanolin and mink oil in the composition will be extremely useful. Children's creams contain natural plant components. Herbal extracts also soothe irritated skin. They have an antimicrobial effect, contribute to the healing of cracks and mini-injuries. So, for the hands of an adult, such a cream is suitable. Not to mention the benefits of vitamins that are present in any cosmetic product for children.
Can i use baby face creams?
So, we have established that “Alice” will help to add velvetiness to the hands of an adult, help to heal small wounds, soften the skin, eliminate peeling and create a protective barrier in frosty and windy weather. What about the face? Here it must be remembered that the skin of an adult and a child is very different. Skin with increased fat content can be made by the very Alice baby cream. For a person in reviews, it is recommended to combine it with other means. Due to the dense greasy structure, such a cream can clog pores and thereby slow down the oxygen saturation of cells. If, on the contrary, your skin is too dry, then the product can enhance peeling. But allergy sufferers should not be afraid of reactions - after all, all baby creams are designed for extremely sensitive epidermis of babies. If your skin is irritated, often inflamed, suffers from tightness, is poorly protected from external factors, then a baby cream will help you. This tool will also help get rid of facial wrinkles in the eye area.
Baby cream anti-aging treatments
We have already said that adults should put together baby care products with other ingredients. Here are some recipes for beauty and youth. Mix one tablespoon of Alisa baby cream with liquid B vitamins and a few drops of essential oil. Stir until smooth. This product should be applied in the evening to the skin around the eyes. For a daytime anti-aging cream, take two tablespoons of Alice, squeeze aloe juice (1 tsp), add five drops of vitamin B2 and jojoba oil, as well as rosehip extract (coffee spoon). Cooked ointment should be stored in the refrigerator. This product should be applied to clean and dry skin with light patting movements. And if you mix 8 g of Alice baby cream with 15 grams of mummy and withstand the mass for a day, you get a rejuvenating mask. It should be applied to prepared face skin, left for twenty minutes and then remove the excess with a cotton pad.
