Young skin is extremely fragile, sensitive to a thickness of only about a third of adult skin. In order for young skin to always be smooth, to avoid common skin diseases, especially in hot summer weather, mothers need to know the characteristics of young skin to have proper care.
Structurally, young skin has the same number of layers as adults, however each layer is much thinner due to smaller skin cells and wider, less closely arranged intercellular spacing; In addition, young skin has less natural moisturizing ingredients and lipids, making it more susceptible to dehydration and faster dehydration.

However, very few mothers realize that their baby is suffering from dry skin so that there is a timely solution.
