Baby Skincare

Your baby’s skin tends to be sensitive and vulnerable to a wide range of skin issues, from simple dryness and acne to nappy rash. Due to its delicate nature, baby skin can easily be affected by external factors such as heat, cold, bacteria, and moisture. Therefore, baby skin requires special attention and optimal care to prevent more serious skin problems. Below, we describe some common skin issues that can occur in babies, along with helpful prevention methods.

Nappy Rash

One of the most common skin issues in babies is nappy rash, also known as diaper dermatitis. Nappy rash is often caused by tight nappies, prolonged contact with wet or soiled nappies, and prolonged exposure to urine.

In addition to dressing your baby in light clothing and changing nappies frequently to reduce prolonged exposure to moisture and urine, applying a thick moisturiser after nappy changes can help create a protective barrier against irritants.

Daily Cleansing and Care

Nappy rash can weaken the skin barrier, and cracked or dry skin is more easily irritated. Gentle daily cleansing and consistent barrier care therefore matter.

For gentle daily care, Coresatin® Panthenol Barrier Recovery Cream is enriched with panthenol, a natural moisturising ingredient, to provide a gentle and effective way to keep your baby’s skin clean while preserving its softness and elasticity.
