    Irritated areas

    Your baby's skin is rich in unique cellular capital, but it is also fragile and immature: it does not yet completely fulfill its role as a protective barrier and can therefore easily become irritated.

    Red, dry and/or chapped areas may appear around the edges of the mouth (especially if your child uses a pacifier), in the folds (neck, armpits, groin, etc.), on the thumb if he or she sucks it, behind the ears or on the hands, especially when it is cold. If your baby presents these symptoms, it is important to treat him to preserve his cellular richness, relieve him of this discomfort and avoid any risk of infection.

    PREVENT IRRITATION

    • Every day after bathing, carefully moisturize your baby's face and body with a treatment specifically suited to their delicate skin.

    • When it is cold, apply a protective cream to your baby's exposed parts before going out.

    • As soon as you notice a cut or abrasion, clean and disinfect it thoroughly.

    TREAT SET-UP IRRITATIONS

    • Clean irritated areas with a non-drying soap-free cleanser and dry.

    • Then apply a cleansing, nourishing and repairing treatment suitable for the fragile skin of infants, which will soothe irritation while promoting skin repair and limiting the risk of secondary infection.

    • Consult a doctor in the event of scabs, extensive or oozing lesions, if your baby has sleep problems or if he is irritable, or finally if the condition of his skin does not improve after a few weeks of care. "
