Myth 5: My baby doesn't need moisturiser lotion because they havesmooth skin
AS I'VE mentioned before, a baby's skin is five times thinner than an adult's fully developed skin lining. This also means that a baby's skin loses moisture much quicker than an adult, making their skin weaker and leaving them more vulnerable to infections should their skin become damaged. The skin is the body's largest organ, and it's also the body's first line of defence from diseases and infection in the environment.
I would recommend using quality oils like coconut, olive or mustard oil before bathing your baby and applying moisturiser about two to four times a day, especially if you find that your baby's skin seems dry. This is to ensure that your baby's skin is always hydrated and receiving the best care for their skin.
