Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year ago

A. Newborn and baby skin is very sensitive and delicate and the pH value is 5.5 this helps to maintain the normal skin and hair protective barrier which will protect the baby skin from environmental factors bacteria and other infections and make the skin hydrated so any product which should be used should be mild and specially the soap should be off 5.5 PH so that the equilibrium of skinji and the protective layer is maintained. Also special care is required in the winter season the moisturizer of the baby should be mild and it should also make the skin hydrated . Products which are having permissible amount of sulphate can be used safely.
