My Expert Midwife
My Expert Midwife formulates skincare products that are designed for use during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Recently, the British brand launched a new midwife-developed and paediatrician-approved range created specifically for babies. All products have been designed to work alongside a step-by-step guide to help baby’s skin get the best start in life.
According to Lesley Gilchrist, registered midwife and co-founder of My Expert Midwife, "We have developed our collection of baby skincare products to prevent skin problems, soothe problem areas, and create naturally simple, practical solutions. A newborn’s skin is around 30% thinner than that of an adult, therefore from the moment of birth their skin needs different and more careful treatment than adult skin as it is more prone to being sensitive to irritants encountered and breaking down."
