7 beauty products to steal from your baby

Babies have a lot of things we want. Naptime, constant attention, the ability to wear a onesie everywhere without being judged…
But while some of these things are impossible to obtain as an adult, there are some beauty products that your baby uses that you can benefit from too.
#1 Baby shampoo
Yep, what’s used on your baby’s hair can also be used on your own. In fact it’s great for those with sensitive scalps and fine hair, as it’s incredibly gentle and won’t strip your strands. Baby shampoo is also great for cleaning your make-up brushes. It removes make-up residue while keeping the hairs extra soft.
Try: Paul Mitchell Baby Don’t Cry Shampoo and Natural Instinct Baby Shampoo
#2 Nappy rash cream
Not just for rashy little bottoms, nappy rash cream can be used on all sorts of rashes, irritations and dry patches. You can even apply it to your dry cracked heels to promote healing and smoother skin.
Try: Billie Goat Soap Billie Baby Butt Cream and Sudocrem Healing Cream
#3 Baby powder
Incredibly multi-purpose, baby powder can be used as a dry shampoo substitute, chafe protector, or even to create fuller lashes. Check out the entire list of uses here.
Try: GAIA Natural Baby Natural Baby Powder and Curash Anti Rash Powder
#4 Baby wipes
It’s no secret these moist towelettes are gold. They’re great for removing make-up, cleaning up small spills, wiping dusty surfaces, disinfecting hands and about a million other things.
Try: Mamia Baby Wipes ($2.49, 80 pack, Aldi) and Yes To Baby Carrots Face and Nose Wipes
#5 Roll-on sunscreen
The roll-on was invented for the squirmy baby, but this form of application also makes life easier for the lazy: simply roll-on and rub. There’s no need to get both hands sticky anymore.
Try: Banana Boat Baby Roll-On SPF 50+ and NIVEA SUN Kids Caring Roll On
#6 Baby oil
Not just for massage, baby oil can also act as a cuticle oil, temporary tattoo remover and bubble bath. It can also be used to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy and puberty.
Try: DermaVeen Baby Bath Oil and WOTNOT Baby Bath & Massage Oil
#7 Detangle spray
While toddlers are more notorious for knotty hair, it doesn’t mean this spray can’t work wonders for you also. It will make brushing a whole lot easier, meaning less breakage and split ends.
Try: Natures Organics Organic Care Kids Detangling Conditioning Spray and Johnson’s Kids No More Tangles Spray

Baby powder is also great to get rid of sand off your body when you go to the beach. We use it all the time, as long as your dry, the sand will just roll off!!

I've often looked at my daughter's detangling spray and wondered if I should give it a try...

Although not on this list I've bought nipple cream as it was pure medical grade lanolin and cheaper than buying lanolin lip products like lanolips. There are some lovely baby products available now that can be used for multiple purposes

I use most of these kind of things for myself. I can't line without my baby powder. I've always got baby wipes in my bathroom. Hubby finds that baby shampoo is best for his sensitive scalp.

When my kids were babies I used a lot of Johnson's products, they were excellent. I don't think I used any of the products for myself though.
