Baby products - why should babies have all the fun?



  Who says that baby products are just for babies? Not me for sure, my bathroom is stocked with baby products and I don't have itty bitty babies.


BABY OIL - one of my favorites and so many uses.

-  mix with sugar for body scrub
- use as eye makeup remover or  pre-cleanser - I do this every night since I use full face makeup every single day
- use instead of shave gel
- use in shower, as a body moisturizer. Apply at the very end of your shower, do a quick rinse and gentle pat yourself dry with a towel. I think this works so much better than applying after you get out of the shower.
- use in your hair- yes, in your hair. I take a pea sized amount of a thin conditioner ( I love vo5 conditioners) mix it with 2-3 drops of baby oil, smear it around in my hands and apply to my ends when wet. Best cheap leave- in ever.
- use in summer on legs to add a soft shine
- use in bubble bath- gives same effect as in shower moisturizer


BABY SHAMPOO

- use as face wash
- use as makeup brush cleanser
- use as shampoo (duh) However, most baby shampoos have much gentler cleansers than regular shampoos and no conditioning agents. Therefore if you use alot of product baby shampoo may not clean well enough without multiple washings and since there no conditioning agents your hair may be tangly. Baby shampoo can be wonderful options for those with thinner hair or sensitive scalps.
- out of bubble bath, use baby shampoo makes nice bubbles and soft scent
- out of body wash, use baby shampoo


BABY LOTION

makes a great grown up lotion too. Johnson and Johnson has many great  baby lotion scents and formulas. Most stores have their own knockoff brands in the "classic" pink baby lotion and "nightime" scent thats just as good. Again great for those who have sensitive skin. I personally use baby lotion daily, I have issues (mostly in the winter) with horribly dry, itchy legs. Most "adult" lotions or highly scented ones will cause my legs to burn or itch even more, I don't care for totally unscented products and baby lotion does not cause me to have any issues- if I need extra moisturization I mix my baby lotion with a bit of vaseline.


HEAD TO TOE WASH- may be the best multipurpose product ever.

- use as shampoo- cleans better than regular baby shampoo but just as gentle
-  use as body wash- good for even girly parts
-  makes great bubble bath
-  makes great facial cleanser
-  great makeup brush cleanser

Basically head to toe wash does everything baby shampoo does but its  generally cheaper and I find it works better than baby shampoo, especially for hair. I also think it has a lighter scent and produces better bubbles. This is my go to product,  one bottle - 5 products. A ton less clutter in my bathroom, and when traveling its alot less to pack.

  Between just two baby products- baby oil and head to toe wash you can replace a multitude of products and still have beautiful, clean soft skin and save some money. Plus all of these products can be picked up at your local dollar store if you just want to try them out instead of investing in the larger bottles of the name brand stuff.
