11 years of research for a major dermatological discovery. In the core of baby’s skin, Mustela® research scientists have discovered an unsuspected rich cellular resource: a reserve of stem cells which reaches a peak at birth but is extremely vulnerable during the first few years of life – while the skin barrier is developing. In order to preserve this reserve of stem cells, Mustela® bébé is reinventing its products with new, increasingly natural formulas, enriched with a new exclusive active ingredient: Avocado Perseose®. The result of 11 years of research, this patented biomimetic active ingredient acts in perfect affinity with the skin to support the development of the skin barrier of your baby and protect its rich cellular reserve against everyday stresses, today and for tomorrow.

Cleansing
Dirt, often invisible, accumulates on your baby's skin all day long. To stay clean and healthy, the skin needs regular and thorough cleansing.
Expert advice The days following birth, disinfect your baby's umbilical cord with a sterile pad soaked in an antiseptic everyday. Then carefully dry with a clean pad. For the ears and nose, make cotton swabs and gently insert them into your baby's auricles and nostrils. Clean your baby's eyes by passing a pad moistened with saline solution over the eyelids, always from the outer corner of eye toward the inner corner. Change the pad for each eye.

Bath time
From birth on*, the bath is a time for your baby to experience again the sensations of being in the womb. Take advantage of these moments of relaxation when cleansing your baby's skin of accumulated impurities from the day’s activities.
Expert advice Always begin by cleaning the cleanest areas, ending with the diaper area. In the bath, hold your baby by putting one hand under his neck and shoulders and the other hand under the bottom. That way, baby will feel surrounded and secure. From the age of 4 or 5 months, you can use a bath seat if you prefer. Bath water – especially if it is hard – can damage your baby's skin. After bathing, dry well his skin by focusing on the skin folds then moisturise to strengthen the cutaneous barrier and rebuild the hydrolipidic film protecting the skin.

Expert advice Your baby’s diaper needs to be changed 6 or 8 times a day. Clean the diaper area from top to bottom, from the cleanest areas to the dirtiest, to avoid transferring soiling to the front. Once you have finished cleansing your baby's diaper area, thoroughly dry the folds in the skin to prevent any maceration, or let the skin dry in the air when possible.

In order to prevent the apparition of redness in diaper area, use a non-occlusive protective cream at each change. In case of oozing or persistent lesions, ask your doctor.

Daily skincare Your baby's delicate and immature skin does not yet fulfill its fonction of protection from external stresses and does not maintain proper hydration level. To protect the skin from birth on*, moisturise it every day with a product that strengthens the cutaneous barrier and preserves its rich stem cells reserve.
Expert advice Make use of applying skincare to give your baby a gently relaxing massage, rubbing his entire body with a moisturiser until completely absorbed by the skin. Remember to regularly check the area behind your baby’s ears. Often forgotten, this area is prone to rashes and dryness. During winter, the cold can damage your baby's skin and dry it out. Use products enriched with Cold Cream to nourish the skin and help it to defend itself from external stresses.

Create a moment of intimate tenderness with your baby As an excellent source of relaxation and well-being, massage helps your baby to become aware of his body. It prepares him for sleep, and may also relieve minor stomach aches. Massaging is different from caresses: your touch must be warm and soft but firm, with stimulating and soothing pressures. Avoid massages just before and after meals or when your baby is ill. Only massage healthy skin that is free of lesions.

STRETCH MARKS
PREVENTION & CORRECTION Prevention is better than cure Given that one in two women get stretch marks during pregnancy, preventing them from appearing in the first place is the best way to tackle them. Using an anti-stretch mark product daily as soon as you become pregnant and up until one month after birth is therefore recommended.
What causes them? Stretch marks are caused by the skin being stretched too rapidly, combined with homonal influences that change the skin's structure. During your pregancy, your epidermis becomes thinner, while the elastin and collagen fibres are altered in the deeper layers of the skin (the dermis). But these supportive fibres are essential for your skin's elasticity.
