Baby skin: find a selection of pharmaceutical products in the maternity section of your online organic pharmacy

Up to the age of 2, your child's skin is fragile and immature: it has difficulty defending itself against aggression (cold, wind, sun, dry air...), is easily irritated and sometimes prone to redness. Baby's skin is to die for. The softness of silk, the velvety softness of peach: your baby's skin needs softness, and its softness requires appropriate care.

How to pamper delicate baby skin?

Babies' skin is so soft, so perfect, but above all, so fragile and sensitive. It's so sensitive that anything can attack it. So be sure to adopt the right gestures to respect it on a daily basis. Toddlers' skin is more fragile and vulnerable than that of adults. It is characterized by a tendency to redden easily in the face of external aggressions such as water, wind or rubbing of clothing. These discomforts manifest themselves in sensations of discomfort such as tightness, redness and tingling.

To keep babies' skin pH-neutral, it's essential to use products designed and adapted to their particular needs. In practice, this means choosing gentle, hypoallergenic cosmetics. After daily cleansing, nourish your child's skin with a moisturizing and protective cream to bring comfort to his delicate skin. In the evening, before bedtime, you can take the opportunity to massage your baby with a gentle body lotion. This step sets up a relaxing routine for your little one, and protects his fragile skin at the same time.

The characteristics of baby skin

The skin of babies up to around 2 years of age has a number of special characteristics:

Immature skin: Their cutaneous barrier is not yet fully formed, making it more permeable and sensitive.
Reduced sebum secretion: They tend to dry out more quickly.
Neutral or slightly alkaline pH: Unlike adult skin, its natural pH is less acidic, making it more vulnerable to irritants and germs.
Increased sensitivity: Aggressions such as cold, sun or friction can cause redness, irritation or dryness.

A Complete, Gentle Skin Care Routine

Gentle cleansing

Use a gentle, soap-free cleansing gel enriched with moisturizing and soothing agents.
Choose hypoallergenic, pH-neutral products to respect the skin's delicate balance.
When bathing, avoid excessively hot water, which dries out the skin even more. A temperature of 37°C is ideal.

Moisturize and protect

After washing, apply a moisturizing cream or a suitable body lotion. These prevent dehydration and protect the skin barrier from external aggression.
In winter, opt for a richer protective cream designed to combat the drying effects of cold and wind.
Don't forget specific areas such as cheeks, which are often exposed, and knees or elbows, which can be rougher.

Soothing irritation

Redness and irritation are common, especially in the diaper area. Use a specific diaper cream that soothes and forms a protective barrier against the aggressions of diapers.
In the event of cradle cap, apply a dedicated care product to help eliminate it gently.

Protecting against UV rays

Babies' skin is extremely sensitive to the sun. Apply a very high protection sun cream (SPF 50+), specially formulated for their delicate skin, as soon as the first rays appear.
In summer, wear light but covering clothing and a wide-brimmed hat.

Incorporate Beneficial Massages

Massaging with a gentle oil or balm nourishes the skin and soothes tension. It's also a great way to strengthen the parent-child bond and promote relaxation before bedtime.

Good Daily Gestures

Change diapers regularly to avoid prolonged dampness and prevent diaper rash.
Use cotton or organic wipes soaked in gentle micellar water to cleanse face and diaper area.
Dress baby in cotton or other natural materials that minimize the risk of rubbing and irritation.
Humidify the air in the bedroom in winter, when the heating makes the atmosphere too dry.
