What is the average cell turnover rate for babies?

7 days
14 days
21 days
30 days

The correct answer is: 14 days

The average cell turnover rate for babies is typically around 14 days. This rapid turnover is attributed to the high metabolic and regenerative capacity of infant skin, which is essential for growth and development. In this age group, the skin is constantly renewing itself as it adapts to its environment and promotes healing. As individuals age, the cell turnover rate increases, leading to longer periods for skin cells to replenish, which can result in a more dulled or uneven skin texture. Understanding this difference in cell turnover rates is important for estheticians as it informs how they can care for and treat different skin types across various age groups.
