Children of Carribean or African descent may have to look after their hair differently. Have a look at this link:

For skin you could look at hives/allergy rashes, protecting skin from the sun and eczema - have alook at the link below:

Normally non perfumed and 'simple' soaps/solution are recommended when children have skin conditions such as eczema, some children have very dry skin with eczema and playing with sand can often make it drier and irritate children. Have a look at the links to see if they are of help.
