5 Things About Baby Skin That You Need To Know

I am very excited to share with you the 5 Things About Baby Skin That You Need To Know. To be honest, I didn’t know most of it until a few days ago during the launch of Belo Baby. I know I still need to learn a lot about babies and kids pero akala ko when it comes to caring for a baby, alam ko na lahat. When it comes to baby skin care, kaunti lang pala alam ko.

#1 Baby Skin is not like the adult skin

Baby skin is not fully developed unlike the skin of the adult. Baby’s skin is 20-30% thinner than the skin of the adults. Do you know the thinnest part of your skin? It’s the skin under your eyes. Just imagine how thin  a baby’s skin is.

Baby skin is different from adult skin not just on the structure but also how the skin functions.

#2 Baby Skin is not as effective temperature regulator

One of the difference between the adult of the skin and baby skin is the ability to regulate temperature. Baby skin is not as effective when it comes to regulating the temperature. And because of that, baby is more susceptible to over heating or becoming too cold.

#3 Baby Skin is more prone to dry skin

Baby skin is more prone to dry skin because of its structure. Baby skin has less Natural Moisturizing Factor molecules that keeps the cells hydrated making the skin less capable of retaining moisture.

To keep the baby skin well moisturized, use baby lotion as often as possible, specially after taking a bath.

#4 Baby skin does not need to be washed often

Bathing can actually remove the skin’s natural oil and baby’s skin does not produce that much natural oil. Bathing often can lead to baby skin dryness.

Since baby skin does not need to be washed often, make everything bathing activity counts with your baby.

#5 Baby skin absorbs easily

Baby skin has fewer lipids (fats). Lipids serves as the solid barrier of the skin. This is one of the reason why baby’s skin is very sensitive. Their skin does not have an effective defense against damage. Given that, the skin of baby easily absorbs any thing we put onto it. When using any product for the baby, always make sure that it is safe for your baby.
