Just like adults, babies can have different skin types. Your little one's skin will fall into one of four categories based on how it looks and feels. • Normal skin: Balanced skin that doesn't appear dry or oily. Instead, it looks smooth and feels soft and supple. • Dry skin: Skin that can become scaly and cracked. It may appear flaky and often feels rough. • Eczema-prone skin: Babies with extremely dry, itchy skin could have this skin type. It can quickly become crusty, irritated, and cracked. • Very sensitive skin: This skin type reacts to many things, including skincare products, food, and the weather. After exposure to a trigger, it'll look red and irritated. In some cases, it may even sting or itch.
