Baby Care

As your baby gets older, he’ll become more active, and chances are you’ll be right behind him with a washcloth, trying to keep him clean. As you wash him more often, you’ll need to make sure his skin stays moisturized to help keep it healthy.

Recent studies have shed light on the differences between adult and baby skin. Baby skin is more “active” than adult skin—it’s constantly continuing to develop. It’s more vulnerable to irritants, changes in temperature and changes in humidity. Therefore, you need to protect your baby’s skin against environmental changes and harsh cleansers.

Your baby’s skin will change rapidly throughout his growing years. It’s very different from yours—it needs extra protection to keep it clean, moisturized and healthy. Remember, healthy skin is not just an aesthetic nicety. Your baby’s skin barrier is his first line of defense from the outside world. To remain healthy, it is important for his skin to be properly hydrated. Healthy, properly hydrated skin forms a barrier against bacteria and other infections. So start now to safeguard your baby’s healthy skin for a lifetime.
