5 TIPS TO PROTECT & CARE FOR YOUR BABY'S SKIN
However, do not worry, says Dr. Wafaa Faysal, who shares her go-to guide on newborn skin appearance, newborn bathing tips, protecting baby’s skin during the hot weather, the best ingredients to look for in baby wipes and how to manage diaper rash.

1. NEWBORN SKIN APPEARANCE

Did you know that baby skin is about 20% to 30% thinner than adult skin? This means that it is ten times more sensitive to rash, causing red bumps and blemishes on a baby’s skin. This is natural and quite common in most babies, so parents should not be alarmed, advises Dr. Faysal.
