You’ve probably heard the phrase “as soft as a baby’s bottom,” dozens of times; but while a newborn’s skin is incredibly soft, it’s also incredibly sensitive.
When a baby is born its skin barrier is up to 30 per cent thinner than our own, and in some cases can lose moisture twice as fast as our epidermis does. Naturally this means that a baby needs its skin carefully looked after, especially for the first year of its life as the skin barrier continues to develop.
Below, you’ll find BD’s picks for products that will help baby skin, not hinder it.
