What’s sensitive skin?

Posted on 28th March at 08:48 AM Posted by: Steve Barton

In reality everyone’s skin is sensitive to some degree, skin needs to respond to the outside world for us to survive. Touch, cold, and pain are amongst the many sensations that evoke various responses, emotional (belonging), physiological (shivering) or behavioural (escape). For babies their skin barrier is still developing over the first weeks and months and only just learning to cope with these new challenges from the world outside, so they will be more prone to the odd rash or a bit of dryness. Parents need the reassurance that there are ways of helping their precious bundle’s skin to cope with the new world outside.
