The ideal skin care for your little ones

How to properly care for sensitive baby and children's skin

Anyone who has ever touched the delicate skin of a baby feels how sensitive it is. This is because the skin of newborns many times thinner than that of adults. Only with 12 years the skin is fully developed. Until then, it needs particularly mild care. The right skin care is also a valuable companion when it comes to childhood skin diseases such as Diaper rash or Neurodermitis or reliable protection against UV radiation.

At DERMASENCE you will find care products specially designed for the sensitive skin of babies and children. High efficiency and best possible compatibility are, as with all DERMASENCE products, the measure of all things - for the skin health of your loved ones.

Baby skin - Gentle care for delicate skin

The skin of your baby is not only thinner than your own, but - in terms of ingredients - also more receptive. In addition, the ratio of skin area to body weight is different. As a result, babies absorb more of the ingredients in the care products they use than adults. If these are not adapted to the sensitive skin of newborns and infants, skin irritations or allergies can occur more easily.

UV protection is elementary when it comes to keeping babies' and toddlers' skin healthy. To protect their little ones from the sun, parents should never expose to direct sunlight. In addition, we recommend the following measures:

Avoiding the midday sun between 12 and 3 p.m.
Choose the "right" shade (concrete shade protects better than a light, thin parasol).
Use additional UV protection through clothing
