A solution for newborns with delicate skin

A solution for newborns with delicate skin

Charlotte Torris
Newborns are especially susceptible to dryness and irritation because their skin is so delicate and therefore it can come with its fair share of unexpected issues just like older children and adults.
Healthy skin is critical to a baby’s long-term health and happiness, and it can impact both baby and family quality of life. Caring for a baby’s skin from birth helps avoid skin conditions such as diaper rashes, dryness and other irritations, which are often the source of many sleepless nights. With these simple tips from the baby and child skin care experts at Mustela, having a happy, healthy baby isn’t as challenging as it may seem.

Diaper changing
Aside from the obvious odor-reducing reasons, prompt diaper changes are an important part of keeping your baby healthy. A soiled diaper may be uncomfortable, but even more importantly, it’s a breeding ground for bacteria and skin irritation. Keep diaper rash cream on-hand to treat any irritations that arise and use it on a regular basis to prevent future outbreaks.
Protecting baby’s skin
Research has shown that a baby’s skin is extremely fragile during the first two years of life, which is when the skin is developing its protective barrier. To help protect and maintain those precious cells that are responsible for a lifetime of healthy skin, Mustela’s baby skin care products are formulated with Avocado Perseose, a patented natural ingredient, which protects the natural cellular richness of the skin. Keep baby’s skin healthy by moisturizing daily with Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion formulated with natural ingredients.
Cradle cap
The key to keeping your baby’s scalp healthy is to prevent cradle cap from the beginning rather than just treat the symptoms. Mustela’s Foam Shampoo for Newborns designed for cradle cap allows you to massage the scalp and a soft
brush to use after bath time to keep your baby’s head clean.
Bath time
Bath time is a great opportunity for parents to bond with their baby, even while taking care of necessary business. Though you may think you need to bathe your baby daily, many pediatricians recommend bathing 2-3 times a week to keep skin from becoming dehydrated and protect natural moisture levels. Using a baby micellar water is an easy way to keep skin clean between baths and on-the-go without stripping it of natural protective oils.
Mustela’s Newborn Arrival Gift Set has your bases covered with all of the above with a range of hypoallergenic products formulated with an average of 96 percent natural ingredients. Your baby’s skin will be soft and healthy with this box filled with lotion, gentle cleansing body gel, self-foaming shampoo for cradle cap, diaper rash cream and a no-rinse baby micellar water for quick clean-ups.
A trusted leader in the baby skincare space for over 60 years, Mustela® ’s new family of baby products features four separate lines designed for a variety of skincare needs: Normal, Dry, Eczema-Prone and Very Sensitive.
