Your baby's skin is rich in a unique cellular reserve, but it is also fragile and immature: it does not yet fully fulfill its role as a protective barrier and can therefore easily become irritated.
Red, dry, and/or cracked areas may appear around the mouth (especially if your child uses a pacifier), in skin folds (neck, armpits, groin, etc.), on the thumb if sucked, behind the ears, or on the hands, particularly in cold weather. If your baby has these symptoms, it's important to treat them to preserve their skin's cellular health, relieve the discomfort, and prevent any risk of infection.
Preventing irritation

• When it's cold, apply before going out a protective cream on the exposed parts of your baby.
• As soon as you notice a cut or graze, clean and disinfect it thoroughly.
Treating established irritations
• Clean the irritated areas with a non-drying, soap-free cleansing product and dry.
• Next, apply a care A cleansing, nourishing and repairing product suitable for the fragile skin of infants, which will soothe irritations while promoting skin repair and limiting the risk of superinfection.
