smooth as a baby's bottom

Extremely soft-skinned

Smooth as a baby's bottom describes something extremely soft and free of blemishes or roughness.

The comparison to infant skin—famously unblemished—emphasizes perfect smoothness: After sanding, the wood was smooth as a baby's bottom.

Often used for skin after shaving or skincare treatments.
