but today I thought it may be a good idea to share products aimed at babies that
are actually really great multi-purpose products wither you have a baby or not!
Baby Wipes
I tend to buy the Johnson's ones as those don't break my skin out
and are really generously sized not to mention sturdy and really wet not dry like some wipes.
Obviously you can use them for cleansing purposes such as taking off your make-up,
cleaning your hands on the go, dare I say it...as an alternative to showering if at a festival,
cleaning surfaces such as the table on the train etc etc
but did you know they are great for removing sticky
labels such as those on the bottom of shoes or those that Superdrug seem to enjoy slapping on products.
Just rub the wipe over said label and scrub a little and tah dah all sticky traces are gone.
A must for any handbag really!
Baby Lotion
Again I only use Johnson's as it is all I have ever known - you can pick this up in most pound shops
or Supermarkets with such ease just don't pay over a £1 for a bottle!
You can use this as an all over body moisturiser - for added sheen mix in a little shimmery eyeshadow
or body powder and it will act as a base/primer and keep the shimmer locked on the skin.
It also makes a great gentle cream cleanser and will remove even the most stubborn make-up.
Sudocream
I apologize as I have no idea what the generic term for creams similar to Sudocream is?
Anyway Sudocream is a fabulous barrier cream that can be used on cuts, grazes and for irritated skin
but it can also be used on blemishes to heal and remove them from the face quickly.
Some even use it as a make-up base or smooth it all over the face and leave for 15 minutes
as an anti blemish skin treatment.
If like myself you have little hacks at the sides of your nails, this is a great treatment.

Baby Shampoo
Most baby shampoo's do the job but I personally find the scent of Johnson's comforting haha!
Moving on baby shampoo is a great option for those with delicate scalps or if you have over processed your
hair and need something gentle to wash your locks without being damaging.
Not only is it great for cleansing the scalp and hair but it makes a great brush cleanser too
as it is so gentle - I mix a little with virgin olive oil to cleanse my brushes.
The hospital also told my grandmother to water down some baby shampoo and use it as an eye bath
to soothe her red/irritated eyes from allergies/hayfever!
Baby Bath
I always try and buy the bath and wash 2-in-1 option as it means it doubles up as a shower gel
saving space in your bag - really handy if you travel a lot.
The reason I mention Baby Bath is that if you over do it in the sun this summer but still fancy a bath
then this is your new bath time buddy as it gives you lovely bubbles but is so delicate on the skin
not to mention that you can use it to wash in the shower too!
Generally speaking I have found baby bath's more moisturising too.
Do you ever use baby intended products?
I love baby lotion, the wipes (not for makeup removal though) and I use baby shampoo for washing my brushes :) not a fan of sudocrem though! I don't think that it really 'does' anything. Nice smell though :) xxx
ReplyDeleteAh really not even on spots? I slap it on my big spots and it helps a lot :) x
DeleteHello, I am doing my first giveaway on my blog!

I'm going to have to try using some other baby products, I love Johnson's Baby Oil as a moisturiser when I get out of the bath :)

Ah I love the gel version of that but the only problem is it makes the bathroom so slippery haha! x
DeleteAwwww I love baby products, they smell gorgeous!

It really is :) x
DeleteI use Sudocrem! It's fabulous, an absolute essential :-) Baby oil's always a good one too, and so cheap you can just slap it on without needing to make it last.
ReplyDeleteReally good point :) so budget friendly :) x
DeleteI love the smell of baby products...:)
ReplyDeleteMinnie
Me too :) x
DeleteI know what you mean about the smell, it just brings back memories of splashing in the bath as a child. I use baby wipes for EVERYTHING - if it's good enough for a baby's bum...

You are so right :) x
DeleteI use the 2 in 1 bubble bath & wash as I can't use much else especially anything with fragrance so I can totally recommend that! Sudocrem is my go to as well :) x
ReplyDeleteI always found baby body lotions to work the best on my skin. I have incredibly dry skin and it really does work wonders.
ReplyDeletei have been using the baby shampoo for my brushes for months now and i just love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of baby products. My youngest is only 9months so our house is full of Johnsons. The tip about using the shampoo to soothe eyes is true, my Dr recommended using it diluted on my daughters conjuctivitis, it cleared it up within 2 days.
ReplyDeleteBaby lotion is great for moisturizing when you have a fake tan too. It doesn't contain anything that can make your tan fade quicker like most moisturizers do, so by using Johnsons lotion your tan lasts longer :-)

i was once looking for a brush cleanser and i went into boots and only the high-end brands sold it and it was like £20 so i picked up the johnsons baby shampoo instead. so glad i saved those £19 as it works fine!

I use johnsons no tear baby wash for a face cleanser. I got tired of using ones that would sting my eyes. Johnsons doesn't sting, it's extremely gentle and it smells delish! My husband makes fun of me because I never use soap! I use that same wash for my body. Also, johnsons baby powder works as a dry shampoo!
ReplyDeleteI think sudocrem is an antisceptic cream :) I'm forever stealing my wee boys products - I love johnsons baby softwash as a shower gel! :) xo
ReplyDeleteThe only "baby products" I use are an 11p Sainsburys basics baby shampoo on my brushes (which works a treat) and Sudocrem on spots. Never heard of it being used all over the face as a treatment until now though so I tried it earlier and my skin looks and feels a million times better! Thank you for another very helpful post :)
ReplyDeleteAlways use baby products. Boots do their own range which is great. E45 have just brought out a baby range that I fancy trying as well.
ReplyDeleteThey may look more gentle but they are just the same chemicals that is in everything else. I wouldnt use these Johnson's on my baby or myself!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I would consider would be sudocrem because Zinc is amazingly soothing.
I used to always buy the Johnsons wipes before I actually cleansed properly, and I took them to Leeds festival too. Needless to say, they were a life saver in many ways!! My scalp has been soo irritated recently (I think Im allergic to a new shampoo:() and I never even thoght of using baby shampoo. I even have a wee bottle of it to clean my brushes with! Definitely using it tomorrow as my scalp is feeling not so nice :( xxx
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Sudocrem in a tube before, it's always in a tub which I don't like as it's unhygienic sticking your fingers into it, must keep an eye out for the tube! I love Johnson baby wipes :)
ReplyDeleteI have used baby lotion before! :) It's really great!
ReplyDeleteBaby products are so gentle. :)
I really don't know what I would do without baby wipes lol!! They are fab, also love baby lotion too. They smell divine x

Thanks for suggesting all these good and necessary baby products,baby care products are essential requirement for babies but in my opinion baby have soft and sensitive skin so parents should choose good quality baby products for babies.
ReplyDeletekids care
I love using Baby Oil after a shower too!
ReplyDeleteI love using baby products. I'm not big on baby lotion, especially the johnsons as it is very heavily scented. But I buy baby wipes all the time (I use boots sensitive ones and they work great)!!
ReplyDeleteBaby bath is better than most shower gels so for me it's the best.
I also buy my cotton pads and cotton balls from the baby section of boots and the supermarket because they tend to be cheaper!!
I have used baby shampoo for so long as my hairdresser always recommended it for my blonde hair! I also swear by sudocream and cannot be with out it, if I notice some redness appear I just put this on over night and it soothes and clears the area!
ReplyDeleteWill have to try the 2-in-1 bath though, sounds like a great multi purpose product!
Agree with Sugar And Smile too, I always get my cotton buds and pads from the baby section as often they are a third of the price!

I don't know how it is over there but over here J&J has been getting into some trouble for having trace amounts of carcinogens and something vaguely resembling embalming fluid in their baby products. Combined with their OTC baby medicines supposedly killing one kid and I think they've taken a real hit here. But at the same time, I think it shows that a lot of baby products are just repackaged adult products (ingredient labels have been make or break in purchasing the regular vs baby lotion with the exact same ingredients.)
ReplyDeleteBut honestly honestly? I've never been afraid of using products with the big 3 or other "bad" ingredients. You have to figure, our parents probably already exposed us to them in bucketloads so avoiding them now seems too little-too-late for me. >> That and living where I do...where the air quality is almost always bad. ANYWAY! The product i've most wanted to try is SudoCream because some people on a few of the dermographia forums I rummage around say it's quite soothing. But it's a bit tougher to get here so i've put it off in favor of more accessible things.
I bought the Johnsons Baby Skincare Essentials box as I'm currently expecting and I have been using everything in it on myself! I love the baby oil and I just can't get enough of the smell of the body lotion!

JOHNSON & JOHNSON have publicly admitted to their baby shampoos etc containing formaldehyde .. TOTALLY CARCINOGENIC .. Are you all mad ... It also contains other deadly compounds including SLS .. I think you should really check out the ingredient list before evening touching the bottles on the store shelves .. in fact it would be wise to use protective clothing while reading their labels .. but most of all keep away from babies .. its unfair to bring an innocent baby into the world then poison it ...
