Hydration

Babies are born with sensitive skin. For the first year of their life, their skin's natural barrier is still developing. This means they're prone to dryness.

Here are some factors that can contribute to dry skin:

• Spending too much time in the bath
• Extreme weather conditions
• Contact with an irritant
• Clothing made from rough materials
• Dehydration

No matter what's causing your baby's dryness, Mustela's line of hydration products can help.

If you've noticed your baby's skin needs a little more hydration, try these tips:

• Keep baths short and lukewarm. Long, hot baths can strip natural oils from your baby's skin and cause it to dry out.
• Apply hydrating products regularly. Mustela's Hydration Collection is a range of products designed to hydrate your baby's skin naturally. We have formulas for different skin types, so pick the one that suits your baby the best.
• Consider humidity. Use a hygrometer to check the humidity level in your baby's room. If it's below 50%, you'll want to run a humidifier to get more moisture into the air.
• Use gentle bath products. Your baby has naturally sensitive skin; harsh ingredients can cause dry skin or irritation.

Regularly applying a hydrating product is the number one way to hydrate your baby's face. For best results, pick one designed for their skin type.

Hydra Bebe Facial Cream can help restore the soft, kissable cheeks of babies with normal skin types. This product uses plant-based glycerin, Avocado Perseose®, Sunflower Oil, and other naturally derived ingredients to deliver 24-hour hydration.

Our Stelatopia Emollient Face Cream is a good solution if your little one has eczema-prone skin. The thick, non-greasy formula melts into their skin, providing intense hydration.

For babies with very sensitive skin, our Soothing Moisturizing Face Cream is hypoallergenic and fragrance-free to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction. It's thick and creamy and can penetrate deeply into your little one's skin for maximum hydration.

Mustela hydration products are safe for babies from newborn on. We partnered with pediatricians and dermatologists to ensure our formulas are hypoallergenic and free from common irritants, like parabens or phthalates.

In addition, all of our products undergo rigorous testing to ensure safety and effectiveness. You can trust that your baby's precious skin is in good hands with Mustela.

While most of our hydration products are specifically formulated for babies, older children and adults may also benefit from using them.

If you're shopping for yourself or another adult, here are a few products to consider:

• Multi-purpose Balm with 3 Avocado Extracts
• Organic Hydrating Cream with Olive Oil and Aloe
• Melting Massage Balm
• Nourishing Lotion with Cold Cream

Of course, no matter your age, we always recommend spot-testing our products to ensure they work well with your skin. Once you know there's no reaction, you can safely incorporate the products into your daily skincare routine.
