On my latest spring clean I managed to find over 6 bottles of ‘Johnson Baby Products’ lurking around my beauty shelves. I fear I may have a slight addiction brewing, or maybe its been there all this time and I just haven’t acknowledged it. Either way, I really don’t know why I was so surprised to find so many bottles of the ‘Baby Oil‘ around, the oil is cheap as chips and works a treat not only on babies, but adults and big kids too!
This oil is fantastic because it can be applied to wet skin. When it’s applied to wet skin it can lock in more moisture than other body lotions, and the best thing is, you don’t have to wait for it to dry. I think that’s great because your clothes can be put on straight after its been applied, without leaving them greasy.
That’s why I love Johnson’s baby oil, you can apply is instantly after a shower onto your wet skin, it soaks up the water like a sponge, and it dries pretty much immediately. The back of my arms are prone to dry patches and can leave my skin a little bumpy, but using the oil tends to keep my skin hydrated for the day.
This oil is so mild it also makes a great eye make-up remover, dab a little on a cotton pad and it will remove the most stubborn waterproof mascaras and eyeliner.It’s also a great alternative to shaving cream, especially if you have sensitive skin, it’s so gentle but still manages to lock in the skins moisture which will help prevent your skin from drying when shaving.
Morning times are a killer for me, I’m always 10 or 15 minutes behind, mainly because I refuse to get out of the bed when my alarm suggests otherwise. Therefore, finding the time to moisturise after my shower is near impossible, especially if I’m running late (which is always). This oil is perfect for me because it’s so functional, I can use it without adding any further time delays to my morning.
verdict: Star Buy
