Baby Skin Care

Did you know that your baby's skin is five times more sensitive than yours ?

Baby skin may always seem soft and smooth. But it is also extremely sensitive, vulnerable to dryness and irritation
Frequent bathing can remove the natural oils of baby skin leaving it dry and cracked. The use of strong laundry detergent for baby clothes can cause itchiness or inflammation of the skin
Sometimes the problem arises because parents think adult products they use will also be good for their little ones
A child is not a small adult. Every paediatrician knows that significant anatomic and physiologic differences exist between children and adults. Structurally, infant skin is thinner... and its components are likewise decreased in number.
The products have been developed with paediatricians and clinically tested by dermatologists
Bathing with gentle baby wash and applying lotion on young skin are essential to keep their skin in perfect condition

Prevention

Parents should not wait until signs of dryness appear on baby’s skin before they begin to moisturize. Prevention is key.

While moisturizers may be applied any time of the day, parents must immediately moisturize baby’s skin right after a bath while the skin is still moist. This traps water in the skin, replaces any normal oil lost, and provides lubrication to the skin.
