Why Do Babies Scratch Their Face

Many parents wonder why do babies scratch their face. The answer lies in their developing motor skills—babies have little control over their hand movements, so accidental scratching is common. Their nails grow quickly and can be surprisingly sharp, which often leads to tiny scratches. Additionally, skin irritation or dryness can make babies uncomfortable, causing them to scratch more. At Soteri Skin, we recommend keeping nails trimmed and using soft mittens to protect delicate skin. Our gentle skincare products help soothe irritation and keep your baby’s skin healthy, giving parents peace of mind.
