Normal Skin

At birth, baby's skin's cell capital is at its highest. Yet, the skin remains fragile and immature, making it more susceptible to external stressors (pollution, bacteria, pollen). During these first two years, baby's skin needs to be hydrated and protected as much as possible.

The best way to determine your baby's skin type is to look for the common signs of dry and sensitive skin, including

• Roughness
• Redness
• Tightness
• Flakiness
• Rashes
  
  If your baby doesn't have any of these signs, they probably have normal skin.
  
  However, your baby may have different skin types on different parts of their body. For example, they may have normal skin on their face and neck, dry skin on their elbows and knees, and sensitive skin on their wrists and chest.
  
  It's also important to remember that your baby's skin is more sensitive than your own and may react more strongly to its environment (think: rough clothing, air pollution and hot or cold weather).
