Perfect care for your precious ones with our personal care products for 4-10 years old
Baby skin is super gentle; the skin barrier is just forming and you as a parent need to do everything to make sure that you take care of it. Same goes for baby hair; the scalp is still extremely tender, which is why you would want to use the gentlest of products. As your baby grows, so does their skin and hair, which means that the products you use on them, need to change as well. It is important to understand that what worked for your baby might not work for your 5-year-old; as a matter of fact, personal care products for 4-10 years old have to be created specifically for the skin and hair of that age group.
It is easy for most parents to simply graduate their children from baby care products to adult ones, almost as soon as they cross from the toddler stage. What they do not understand is that adult products often have really strong chemicals, fragrances and such, which might be ok for their skin, but too harsh for kids. Having understood that, we at Tikitoro have created an entire range of products that is meant solely for children – products that will cleanse, nourish, moisturise and protect.
When you pick something from the Tikitoro kids range of personal care products, you can be sure that these are products are created specifically for the skin and hair of kids!
Here is why kids skin care and hair care products need to be unique
As children grow, their skin and hair is also growing and changing – this means that the products you use for their skin and hair care also need to change. During the ages of 4-10, children’s skin begins to mature, but it remains more delicate compared to adult skin. This is a period of rapid development, during which maintaining a consistent and appropriate kids skin care and hair care routine becomes vital.
So, what is happening with skin and hair around this age period:
Sweat and oil glands start to develop around this age, although they are not as active as they will be in adolescence.
Children’s skin tends to be more sensitive, with a thinner outer layer that makes it more prone to irritation, dryness, and environmental damage.
During this time period, hair strands become thicker and may change in texture. For example, straight hair can become wavy or curly, requiring a shift in hair care techniques.
The scalp remains sensitive, so you cannot use very harsh chemicals or anything that will cause irritation or rashes.
Daily activities like playing outdoors are bound to expose their skin and hair to dirt, pollutants, and UV rays, making gentle cleansing and hydration essential.
It is easy to hand over your facewash or shampoo to your kids, but you need to remember that their skin and hair is not the same as yours, which is why the products can’t be either! You need to remember:
Children’s skin is more reactive to irritants such as synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh cleansers, which can lead to redness, itchiness, or even mild rashes.
Overwashing or exposure to wind, cold, or sun can strip their skin and hair of essential oils.
Children with longer hair often face tangling issues, especially after playtime or swimming and these need the right type of products to reduce discomfort.
A range of products that goes beyond just kids body wash
If you thought that the Tikitoro range of products was restricted to kids body wash, you need to think again and take a look at our extensive range of products. We have kept our range simple, but we have made sure there is something to take care of every part of the body:
Hair care – To keep your kids’ hair clean, healthy and looking great, you need to make sure that you oil and shampoo them regularly. You need to pick a hair oil that is meant for their hair and will ensure that the scalp and hair is hydrated and nourished. Our hair oil contains ingredients like olive oil, almond oil, argan oil and bhringa. And once you are ready to shampoo the oil off, pick one that contains Indian pennyworth, moringa, rice protein, aloevera and lotus. This shampoo will cleanse gently, but thoroughly and without stripping the scalp of natural oils or leaving it dry and itchy.
Face and body – The skin of kids is extremely sensitive and gentle, which is why you need to make sure that you choose products that are just as gentle. You will need a facewash, which the kids can use twice a day, without their skin feeling dry or stretched. You will want to pick soap bars or body washes that will clean the skin thoroughly without stripping it off its natural oils. Our soaps and body washes have been made using natural ingredients like almond, calendula, aloevera and chamomile, just to name a few. Once the bath is done, you will want to lather the skin with one of the best quality body lotions, made with ingredients such as mango and shea butter, saffron, avocado and argan, which will nourish and nurture the skin, without leaving it feeling greasy. And in case children are stepping out, you need to make sure that you apply sunscreen for kids, which is made with minerals, natural oils and vegetable sugars.
In case you are not sure about what product to pick, you can pick from our skin care combo pack options too, making your shopping so much simpler!
A hair and skin care combo pack for an easy personal care routine
Keeping children occupied is one thing, but making them invest in their own personal care is a whole different ball game! However, you need to make sure that you build a fun and effective personal care routine for them, which they will want to stick to.
Choosing Tikitoro products, which are created specially for children is step one – when children feel that these are products that are exclusively theirs, they will want to use them.
Teach them how to use these products on their own – how much product to take each time, how to use them and how to clean them off – and let them take on the responsibility.
Ask them to keep a track of the bottles – they need to let you know when they are running out, so that you can order the next set.
