How to Take Care of New born Baby’s Skin

Expert suggestions by Dr. Shilpa Vora, Chief Research & Development Officer, Marico Limited to keep your newborn’s skin safe and moisturized

As exciting it is to welcome a new life into this world, new parents, often get overwhelmed by the challenges of adjusting to their baby’s needs. Among the many aspects of newborn care, skin health is paramount, as a newborn’s skin is incredibly delicate and vulnerable to dryness, rashes, and irritations. By establishing a gentle and protective skincare routine, parents can provide the comfort and care essential for their newborn’s sensitive skin.

Dr. Shilpa Vora, Chief Research & Development Officer, Marico Limited says, “A newborn baby’s skin is very sensitive and 30% thinner than an adult’s, with fewer lipids, making it fragile and prone to damage and dryness. This makes it essential to nourish their skin with care.”

Here are some tips by the author on taking utmost care of a new-born’s delicate skin:

Pamper your baby with massages: A mother’s touch and direct contact have scientifically proven benefits for a baby’s overall growth and development. Massage and bath time between mother and baby not only strengthen their emotional bond but also keep the baby’s skin hydrated and nourished. You can also massage your baby once a day with a nourishing oil enriched with 100% natural Virgin Coconut Oil with Vitamins E&F that contains growth nutrients also present in mother’s milk. A massage with a nourishing oil offers more benefits than simple touch therapy, enhancing skin barrier function and thermoregulation while positively impacting growth, bone strength, muscle development, and neurodevelopment.

Prioritize skin hydration: Regularly use a nourishing cream or lotion enriched with 100% Virgin Coconut Oil containing some nutrients also found in mother’s milk along with the moisturizing touch of Coconut Milk to keep your baby’s skin hydrated and soft. This will help in keeping it soft and supple all day long, ensuring utmost comfort and protection against dry skin. Using a cream or lotion will also help keep your baby’s diaper area free from frequent rashes and skin irritation.

Maintain a refreshing routine: Ensure your baby is always well-cleaned and feeling fresh. With the changes in the weather, constant spit ups and visiting family members, it is important for your baby to be cleaned regularly. You can use a nourishing soap and shampoo to keep baby’s skin soft, bouncy and moisturized throughout the day for more smiles and freedom from dryness. To add to that amazing baby smell, you can choose a refreshing baby powder enriched with Virgin Coconut Oil and Vitamin E glides on your baby’s skin like a feather, absorbing excess moisture from their chubby folds and ensuring their skin remains soft & comfortably dry. With every sprinkle, it creates a world of comfort and freshness, giving your precious bundle the joyful and active playtime they truly deserve.
