Normal baby skin

Your baby’s skin is a protective covering against the outside world. It’s also a source of interaction, awakening and emotion connected with each of your baby’s senses. Since skin provides protection and aids sensory development, it needs specific care and your full attention from the time your baby is born.

In order to give your baby’s skin the care it needs each day, you need to be able to recognize your baby’s skin type, fully understand the needs and use the right products for that skin type.

Recognizing normal baby skin Normal baby skin is soft, supple and silky to the touch. It has no irregularities or obvious signs of dryness or sensitivity.

Normal baby skin between birth and age 2 Your baby’s skin is like all infant skin, which seems so beautiful and perfect but in fact it’s extremely delicate. At birth, babies have an immature skin barrier.

Your baby’s skin is highly delicate and vulnerable to daily outside attacks, and does not reach the first stage of maturity until the age of two. Between birth and age two, a baby’s skin is not yet able to retain the proper level of moisture it needs for its cells to function properly.

A baby’s skin has an unsuspected source of strength at birth: a reserve of stem cells, unique for an entire lifetime, enabling skin to regenerate all the life, but extremely vulnerable and fragile until the age of 2.

The special nature of a baby’s skin compared to adult skin has been scientifically proven, thanks to an unprecedented Mustela research program spanning more than a decade that studied infant skin from the first days of life.
