    Your baby's skin is his protective envelope with the outside world. It is also a vector of exchanges, awakening and emotion, connected to all the senses. Because the skin plays a dual protective and sensory role, it requires appropriate care and your attention from the first days of your baby's life.

    To take care of your baby on a daily basis, it is necessary to know how to recognize your baby's skin type and to understand their needs in order to respond specifically to them by using products adapted to their skin type.

    RECOGNIZING VERY SENSITIVE SKIN

    Baby's very sensitive skin is like all baby skin, more fragile and vulnerable than adult skin. It is characterized by a tendency to blush easily in the face of everyday aggressions (wind, hard water, friction of clothing, etc.) and which also manifests itself by feelings of discomfort (tightness, tingling, heating of the skin, etc.).

    UNDERSTANDING YOUR BABY’S VERY SENSITIVE SKIN

    Your baby's skin is like all baby skin, so beautiful and so perfect in appearance, but in fact it contains great fragility. The baby's skin presents an immature skin barrier at birth. Very fragile and vulnerable in the face of daily aggressions, the baby's skin will only reach a first stage of maturity around the age of 2 years.

    Between 0 and 2 years, the baby's skin is still unable to maintain a good level of hydration, which is essential for the proper functioning of skin cells. Baby's skin is endowed with an unsuspected wealth: a unique stock of stem cells which allows it to regenerate throughout life. This cellular capital, which is at its maximum at birth, is extremely vulnerable and fragile between 0 and 2 years of age.

    The specificities of baby's skin compared to adult skin have been scientifically proven thanks to a Mustela research program lasting more than 10 years on children's skin from the first days of life, unprecedented worldwide. Baby's skin: recognizing very sensitive skin compared to normal skin Very sensitive skin affects 1 in 3 children*.

    From birth, the skin of certain babies can be more sensitive than others and react in an exacerbated manner to attacks usually well tolerated by normal skin: environmental factors (temperature variations, perspiration, wind), chemical attacks (dyes, detergents, hard water, etc.) or even rubbing diapers or clothes. This skin hypersensitivity is manifested by skin that reddens easily and very often by sensations of discomfort (tightness of the skin, tingling, heating, etc.).
