Johnsons Baby Softwash

INTRODUCTION

My son had very dry skin when he was a baby and I found that putting baby oil or lotion on his skin made it worse rather then better, so I was on the look out for something more along the lines of bath lotion in hope that would work better. Here is what I found.

ABOUT THE SOFTWASH

I bought one of those Johnson's essentials box when I was pregnant which had a good range things in it. And one of the things that I have recently been using on Ethan for his bath times is something called Johnson's Soft wash, it's a body wash with a built in lotion.

I normally pour a little soft wash under warm running water in the bath, which produces bubbles, and nice fresh smell. I let Ethan splash about for a while before washing him, with the soft wash being in the water it helps to wash Ethan and also lotion his body leaving him feeling soft and clean.

Although I do wash his body with a little of the wash on a flannel, to get into those little creases that splashing around doesn't get into.

The wash is a thick white cream, which is in a bottle that stands on its lid for stability. The soft wash has 1//3 of lotion in it which leaves you baby feeling soft as ever, I find using this is a lot better then any body lotion or oil, and I am glad that I use it on him.

Since using the wash I do not have to worry about his dry skin anymore as it seems to have gone now.

Compared to other products I have used on Ethan this as to be the best I have found by far, not only does it soften Ethan's skin but leaves him smelling nice, fresh and clean to. I wouldn't use anything else on him now. Also with it being part of the no more tears range its sensitive for baby's eyes.

It is also safe to put directly on the skin although I tend to put a bit on a flannel with a little water and make lather before washing Ethan with it.

The soft wash is also ideal for us adults to use too, although I haven't yet used it on myself as yet, but I think I will start using it.

PACKAGING

The softwash comes in a white shaped bottle with a light blue lid, the lid is the stand for the bottle and also has a built in dispenser meaning you have to squeeze the bottle before anything comes out of it which is handy. In the centre of the white bottle you have a light pink label, with "new Johnson's baby softwash bodywash" at the top of the label, and the no more tears underneath with 1/3 baby lotion our softest ever underneath that.

On the back of the label you have information like the -

AVAILABILTY AND PRICE

You can buy this product from any boots or supermarket

As I mentioned before I bought mine in an essential box
But you would normally pay £2 - £2.50 for a 250ml bottle

FINAL THOUGHTS

I would not use anything else on Ethan now since using this product, its nice smelling, it makes baby's skin really soft, its pretty cheap, and is largely available in supermarkets.

I really recommend this for everyone to use on their baby, especially if they have dry skin too, it is worth every penny, plus it goes along along way, as you don't need to be using much.

You can also use as part of the top and tail wash as you can use directly on skin just like the baby lotion and oil that you can use, although I have never used this product for the daily washes my son as, I use another product for that.

With the soft wash being so caring to the skin I think I will give it go and see if it works on my skin in the same as it does Ethan's, once I have tried it for myself I will update the review.

Thank you to everyone that reads and rates
Hope I have covered everything.
