Even the most seasoned beauty shoppers may be missing out on a veritable treasure trove of goodies. Where is this untapped resource hiding, you ask? In the baby care aisle, of all places. Not only are any of the products you find there guaranteed to be extra gentle (ideal for anyone with sensitive skin) but they're also just good, effective skin care options. Now, obviously this is not the place to look for an anti-aging serum (duh) but for the necessary basics, we highly recommend getting in on this baby beauty bounty. Here, seven of our favorite adult-approved baby products.
A cult-classic from the French brand, this (alcohol-free) fragranced water is gentle enough to use on babies. But the fresh, citrusy scent will have women of all ages clamoring to spritz it on their hair, body and clothes.
Plant-based ingredients and castor oil take the place of chemically derived petroleum in this multi-tasker. Dab it on chapped lips, dry cuticles, rough elbows, scaly legs (you get the picture) to help seal in moisture, without any greasy after-effects.
Sure, you could use these wipes on a baby's bum, but the hypoallergenic, alcohol- and fragrance-free formula makes them ideal for freshening up after a workout. We also like using them in lieu of hand sanitizer; they're much less drying.
Believe it: An oil can be lightweight and fast-absorbing, while still delivering loads of hydration. A blend of organic oils (jojoba, tamanu, olive, avocado and sunflower, to get specific) make this plant-based option perfect for infants and adults alike. Slather it on after you get out of the shower or mix a drop or two into your body lotion.
