23 Inspired Reasons Every Adult Should Use Baby Products

Whether you’re a parent in possession of some leftover baby toiletries or not, we guarantee you’ll be addicted to using baby products once you’ve introduced them into your routine.

They’re safe and extra-gentle to use, making them ideal for incorporating into your skincare regime, and tend to be ridiculously cheap. Plus, they have a multitude of ingenious household uses, too.

Before you know it, you’ll be ditching your Eight-Hour cream and slapping on the baby lotion instead…

Wipes
1. From removing carpet stains to taming flyaway hairs, baby wipes have numerous uses – 30 of which we’ve listed here.

Cotton Wool Buds
2.  Get rid of that mascara muck-up without messing up the rest of your eye make-up with a dampened cotton wool bud.
3.  Cotton wool buds are great for cleaning all those nooks and crannies that the duster can’t get to.

Baby Powder
4.  Don’t have time to wash your hair and run out of dry shampoo? Helloooo baby powder. Just rub it in well so it doesn’t give your locks a great tinge…
6.  Baby powder is brilliant for removing greasy stains. Simply dab a little into the mark and rub it in well, before rubbing off any excess.

Baby Lotion
7. Forget about investing in that extortionately expensive trio of make-up removing products and use baby lotion instead. It removes make-up effortlessly (without stinging your eyes) AND moisturises skin. Genius.

Baby Shampoo
8. Mix a small amount of baby shampoo with water to create the perfect solution to clean your make-up brushes with.
9. If baby shampoo is gentle enough to use on young children, then it’s gentle enough to wash pets with. It will keep them clean and smelling fresh.

Baby Oil
10. Baby oil is a soothing saviour for itchy skin, particularly when you’re pregnant.
11. It’s also a brilliant nourishing solution after shaving.
12. Got dry feet? Apply baby oil to your feet overnight for an intense moisturiser.
13. Use it to buff up your kitchen – it works a dream on stainless steel.
14. Just because it’s a massage oil for babies doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be used as a massage oil on adult skin. Add a drop or two of essential oil and your skin will smell diving.
15. Baby oil can even be used to help diffuse the wax build-up in your ears. Put your head to one side and add a few drops to the affected ear. 

Gripe Water
16. Gripe water is just as good for soothing upset adult stomachs as it is a baby’s colic.

Baby Sun Lotion
17. Infant sunscreen is ideal if you’ve got sensitive skin as baby sun lotion tends to be high factor and doesn’t include any nasty chemicals.

Nappy Rash Cream
18. Bursting with healing attributes, nappy rash cream is perfect if you’ve got a spot of sunburn or chafing.

Baby Bath Wash
19. Super gentle and often pumped full of oh-so-relaxing lavender essential oil, baby bath wash will live your skin baby-soft and your body ready for bed.

Nappies
20. This is a little unconventional, but one (unnamed mum) swears by hiding valuables in disposable nappies at the beach – because no one wants to touch a potentially-filled nappy!
21. You can also use clean disposable nappies as a lining for a hanging basket. Now that’s a hack we bet you never thought you would read.

Sudocrem
22. Dab a little Sudocrem on your spots to dry them out. And hey, if it’s good enough for Cheryl Fernandez-Versini…

Baby Detangler Spray
23. This works as a brilliant leave-in conditioner as it’s not too greasy or chemical-ridden.
