There is a common misconception that if a cosmetic product is intended for children, it will not harm an adult either.
However, in reality, baby cream is not only unable to solve the skin problems that an adult has, but can even cause harm.
The first reason is that such products often contain petroleum jelly, which protects children's skin, whose protective barriers are still quite weak, from environmental influences.
However, in adults, the sebaceous glands function perfectly, secreting a sufficient amount of sebum.
Vaseline forms a film on the surface of the skin that blocks the secretion of sebum.
As a result, the pores become blocked and the skin, although initially soft and tender, soon begins to peel. Often, pimples, acne, creases and wrinkles appear on the face.
The second factor that makes it worthwhile to avoid using baby cream is that it lowers the acid-base balance, which in adults, unlike in children, is already low.
Finally, you definitely won’t find antioxidants in the composition of children’s cream – and they are the ones responsible for slowing down the aging process.
