Infant Skin

The skin of a newborn is not fully formed or functional. It is thin and it is not a good protective barrier. The swet glands, oil glands and hair follicules also may not be fully developed. The infant skin is more delicate and more easily harmed by things that come in contact with it. Avoid sun exposure, even moderate exposure may cause a severe sunburn. Chemicals, medication or other products can easily penetrate the skin causing sensibilization.
I recomend moisturise the skin everyday using appropriate cream.
