Wat - er fantastic beauty staple!

Advantages: soothes dy skin
Disadvantages: none

...reach for my tub of Aqueous cream that I always keep in. So what is this mystery cream?~ Well it's basically a thick, non greasy cream that acts as a barrier to prevent skin drying out. What it contains~ The cream is made up of the following ingredients - white soft paraffin, cetostearyl alcohol, liquid paraffin, sodium lauryl sulphate and purified water. As you can see by the ingredients there are two types of paraffin used so you know this is going ...
...what does it actually do? Aqueous cream is fantastic because it can not only be used as a soap substitute, but also as a moisturiser for face and body or my favourite indulgence - a rich face mask. The cream is very thick in consistency so a small amount rubbed into the skin is sufficient enough to cleanse or moisturise. If using as a soap simply rinse off, or as a moisturiser just rub into the skin. My experiences of using it~ I first discovered ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

does the job

Advantages: helps dry skin
Disadvantages: slight hard to wash off

In my opinion, i believe this is miracle stuff. It does exactly what it say and has no taste or smell and work perfectly for dry skin. The only that went wrong is when i used it the lid snapped off and as its plastic it cant be fixed so i always need to keep it the correct way up which is quite annoying as sometimes it spills. The oil is also quite cheap and i bought it for only £1.99 and last for ages! I used the oil for my whole body and you can ...

Review of Johnsons Baby Oil

Boots Baby Lotion

Advantages: good value, nice fragrance, versatile
Disadvantages: none

...a bottle lasts me a while, I've had the same bottle for nearly a year. As I don't have children I can't personally comment on how effective it is on baby's skin but I believe that'll be safe because of the mild formula and the good reputation Boots has. ...

Review of Boots Baby Lotion

an all time must have to care for all skins all year round

Advantages: ideal for any age, any type of skin. leave skin soooo soft
Disadvantages: as it is an oil dont put it on just before getting dressed as it may mark clothing

Johnson baby oil gel....a must have for any age. I always used to use the oil but found it was a bit messy and I ended up using far more than I should have done. This gel formulation means you can use a small amount if required as it doesn't all come flooding out when you tip it to pour. I use it all year round, all over my body to keep my skin soft and supple. And I found it lasts me ages as you only need a small amount as it goes a long way. In ...
...it twice a day but in the winter months I use it at night only. It doesn't have a strong smell, not in my opinion anyway. I use it about 30 mins before getting into bed as yes...it is an oil so it takes a while to soak in but I think it is worth the wait and it leaves you with great looking soft skin. ...

Review of Johnsons Baby Oil Gel

Highly highly recommend Metanium Ointment for nappy rash.

Advantages: thick gives excellent coverage and protection
Disadvantages: spurts out the tube so you tend to get more than you need

I was recommended Metanium by a friend of mine after we had been talking about my little boy having really bad nappy rash. I had tried all the other high street products and felt that they had little affect including an antiseptic talc that I had been given by my health visitor. I managed to get hold of Metanium at my local supermarket and used it on my little boy as soon as I got home. Its really really thick so you do not need too much making the ...
...wipes quite easily so not really a major issue. My little boys nappy rash was gone with 48hours and it was awful - almost blister like, I would recommend Metanium above any other nappy rash cream its fab and not expensive especially considering how little you actually need. ...
