I love a new product, and having suffered from some very sleepless nights lately i was desperate to try something to help with my insomnia, now i'm actually taking 3 different types of medicaion at the moment, don't worry i'm not ill, but each day i can find myslef taking up to 8 pills a day, which help control my stress as well as my allergies, i also take triceratops and so wasn't really looking to have to try and remeber to take another pill, and having my bag seem like my own personal drug store i decided to go with something less invasive! Having sifted through Ciao for the answer i came across a review on this product! Johnsons babybedtime lotion! The difference about this new product is noticably the addition of the word "bedtime", i was assured that a quick wiff of this every night and i'd soon be off in the land of nod. so i marched into boots the very next day!
Whats it do? As briefly explained before this Johnsons product which retains it's usual function moisturises, but also helps babies fall into a soothing sleep. Johnsons are a renowned company who specialise in baby care products and this is the latest in their line of products!
How does it work? This lotion helps aid gentle relaxation with it's aroma of lavender of camomile, two natural ingredients which are used frequently to help calm and relax the senses. After taking a bath you are advised to rub a small amount into your skin, it absorbs nicely into your skin which means it will go further, this should release a wonderful smelling aroma of the lavender and camomile helping you to drift peacefully off to sleep.
What else does it do? As is obvious, this is a lotion, and as it is designed for babies in mind it is PH balanced and very gentle on the skin, no need to worry if your skin is sensitive to allergies like mine! It has built in moisturising properties and when used on wet skin helps lock in moisture. It definately delivers in that department too, my skin feels so soft and smooth, a handy little extra from this product.
What does it look like? The lotion is of a smooth creamy consistency and is white with perhaps a small hint of lilac, if you look very closely. The bottle is your typical Johnsons shape, with their logo in blue joined writing, a Lilac colour theme representing the lavender and a small emblum demonstrating that the product is "clinically proven mild". Avery simple and pleasant bottle!
How does it smell? As is probably obvious the aroma is of lavender and camomile, but i am writing this part in case you should have reservations whether or not you may find it unpleasant, i dont mind lavender and camomile but i know that if too strong it can be overpowering, not the case with this product, it has a nice subtle hint of both aroma's and i even slapped some on the other morning as it made me smell nice, not at all like an old lady, more like a baby! And who doesn't love the way babies smell?
Does it work? Well after a long realaxing bath before bed the last couple of nights i have rubbed it in as directed, and i have been sleeping much better, perhaps it's psychological but the smell is definately helping me to unwind, i feel the whole routine prepares me to have a nice realxing sleep and its well worth anyone's while.
How much? A bottle containing 300ml cost me £3.60 from my Boots store, i'm sure it can be found cheaper elsewhere as Boots can be a little bit pricy, but i thought this was a reasonable amount to pay, the bottle comes in a larger size but this bottle will do me very well, as i only need to use a tiny amount, as it goes a long way.
Its well worth a try if like me you don't want to keep popping pills to help you with your ailments, a nice soothing alternative that'll moisturise your skin at the same time. All i can think is what am i going to do without it!
Hi Sweetheart! Great review. I've been a bit stressed lately and my sleep patterns are more disturbed than normal and i have tried practically everything on the market to help me, but a friend suggested this, and after reading your review i think i'll pop out to pick up a bottle in my lunch hour! I'll have to take your work on the lovely fragrance though - i have no sense of smell lol Sarah xx

I use the bubble bath for my baby girl's evening bath. I'm going to use this lotion on her too to compliment it. Thanks for good review! Raima x

I'm often lying there for a few hours in bed before I can drift off to sleep so I'll be trying this! Good op x
Advantages: No more tears, nice smell, 1/3 baby lotion so ensures a good wash Disadvantages: Pricey, smell doesn't last all day, and not a lot of lather
