Baby skin is not fully developed until 6 months old, as the protective outer layer and other skin cells are still maturing. This makes baby skin more porous and able to absorb substances more easily than adult skin. Regular cleansing and moisturizing is important to prevent drying out, along with protection from the sun, cold, and substances that could penetrate the skin. Baby skin does not reach the structure and density of adult skin until 1-2 years of age.
3. Baby skin is not fully developed until the child is six months old
Especially the water-repellent horny layer is still very thin and the skin thus loses a lot more water
the number of other skin cells is also still lower than that of children and adults.
This makes it easy for germs and general substances applied to the skin to penetrate baby’s delicate skin
As the protective melanin has not yet fully developed, babies must also be protected particularly well
against UV rays.
Children develop the skin structure and density of an adult from around one to two years of age
It is important to provide your baby’s skin with sufficient moisture to prevent it from drying out.
It is constantly changing and care should be taken
4. Baby skin needs regular and balanced cleansing and care.
It is particularly important to protect it against drying out as well as sun and cold
Preparations that do not penetrate deeply but only act on the surface of the skin are ideal for cleansing.
Baby skin has a thinner upper layer than adult skin.
The papillae and blood vessels penetrate deeper into the upper layer of the skin.
The cells of your baby’s skin are smaller and placed wider apart.
This makes the skin more porous.
