Unilever Nigeria has asked Nigerian mothers to pay special attention to their babies’ skins, saying they are tender and easily succumb to airborne diseases.

The company’s Category Manager, Skin Care, Adetoun Adegbite, said this at the rebrand of Pears baby range of products at Amuwo-Odofin Maternal and Child Centre, Festac, Lagos.

He revealed that the rebrand was to enlighten mothers on one of the ways of taking care of their babies and to share the unique benefits of the products that have existed since 1971. He emphasised the need to always keep the baby’s skin smooth in order to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

The Chairman of National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, Lagos Chapter, Olurotimi Awojide commended Unilever Nigeria for the drive, and pointed out that the re-launch of the products was a major step in the right direction.
