Keep your Babies Skin Healthy! by Roxanne Kelly
There are many baby skincare products available all claiming to keep our baby’s skin as soft as the day he or she was born. IN the womb the baby is coated in a waxy substance called vernix, but once born the vernix comes away with essential washing as the baby grows. The P.H level of a baby’s skin is almost perfect, yet an adult’s skin is more acidic therefore making the ph level higher. The skincare products keep the baby’s skin as moisturized as possible without any harsh perfumes and chemicals that some products created for adults contain. The products differ in ingredients but the main thing all these products have in common is that they are made with your baby’s delicate skincare needs in mind.

The main difference between an adults and babies skin is the ph level. IN babies it is almost perfect (5.5) where as an adults skin is more acidic having a higher ph. Baby skincare products are tailored to meet the needs of baby skin and are made to promote comfort and strength as the skin grows and matures. To keep the baby’s skin soft it needs to be moisturized and kept as near to the ph level as it had when the baby was born.
