From birth to two years of age, your baby's skin undergoes rapid development and is uniquely fragile. During this time, the skin barrier is immature, hydration mechanisms are easily disrupted and the skin's cellular reserve is highly vulnerable to external stress. Understanding these needs is essential to providing the best skin care for your baby.
In the first two years of life, your baby's skin barrier is still developing and less equipped to protect against external aggressions such as pollution, temperature changes and harsh environmental factors. This immaturity increases the risk of dryness, irritation and red patches. What to do: Use gentle, hypoallergenic skincare products specially formulated for babies. Look for ingredients that protect and strengthen the skin barrier, such as Mustela's patented Avocado Perseose®.
Baby skin has a reduced ability to maintain proper hydration levels as its natural regulatory mechanisms are still maturing. Without proper care, this can lead to dry, uncomfortable skin. What to do: Hydrate daily with moisturisers specially designed for baby's skin needs. Incorporate moisturising after bath time into your baby's routine to lock in moisture.
At birth, babies' skin is equipped with a rich reserve of epidermal stem cells, which are essential for skin regeneration and long-term health. However, these reserves are extremely sensitive to external stressors, especially during the first two years. What to do: Use skincare products that not only hydrate, but also protect the skin's cellular reserves from external stressors, such as Mustela's products with Avocado Perseose®.
