Sphynx Cat Skin Care: A Complete Routine

Why Sphynx Cats Need Skin Care

Without fur to absorb natural oils, Sphynx cats accumulate sebum on their skin. This leads to greasy buildup, clogged pores, and skin infections if not managed.

Weekly Bathing Routine

Use lukewarm water and a gentle, cat-safe shampoo. Never use human shampoo.

Bathing Steps

• Wet the cat thoroughly with lukewarm water
• Apply shampoo and massage gently
• Pay attention to skin folds
• Rinse completely
• Pat dry with a soft towel

Common Skin Issues

Watch for blackheads, yeast infections in skin folds, and sunburn. Sphynx cats burn easily — keep them out of direct sunlight.
