My Can Not Live Without Beauty Product

I recently re-dicovered this product while taking care of my granddaughter.
While I have discovered many uses for this product I will tell you the main reason it is “The one beauty product I couldn’t live without.” is Johnson's Baby Oil.

Johnson's Baby Oil added to your moisturizer revs it up a notch. A pea-sized amount added to a tablespoon of your regular moisturizer, when applied, adds a subtle shimmer to your skin. Excellent for making mature skin look more vibrant.

Use it to achieve an all over body glow. It can also be applied to give highlights that will showcase your best features. 

Up the shin bone and the sheen appears to elongate the leg. To quote my cousin  Zelda Jean, "Tim Gunn would approve." For those of you that know of my cousin's obsession with Tim Gunn, you know this is high praise indeed. You can use this suped up moisturizer to accentuate your arms or decolletage and remind that man why he looked at you in the first place. 

Though I do caution you to not get carried away and end up looking like a greased pig ready for catching.

    Dear Emma,

    Wonderful post. Did you know you can rub baby oil on your body after showering (before toweling off) and as you rub the oil into the droplets that cover you they keep the moisture in your skin. No need to towel off afterwards. Baby oil is wonderful isn't it? Hope you are well and had a wonderful July 4th. Peace, CarolB

    Hi Emma,

    I was just going to say the same thing but Carol beat me to it. I use baby oil after showering all the time, but not on the face it's too greasy for me. But I can't go anywhere without my Oil of Olay.lol And stay out of the sun or use sunscreen.

    Hope your 4th was great. Also I wrote my story if your interested.Peace.

    I had found this online a few years ago. (I believe this is the original article.)

    http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/161333/10_unique_uses_for_johnsons_baby_oil.html

    But it wasnt until Keelie was born that I discovered how great it is added to my moisturizer. AND can someone tell me why your skin as to change to begin with??????

    Pasted below are the 10 uses as quoted from the article, but I am betting there are far more that could be shared.

    1. Keep Yourself Warm When the Weather's Cold

    Massage your skin with baby oil before you get dressed, and it will help you stay warmer during the cold weather months. The oil closes your skin pores and helps insulate your body. It will also smooth and moisturize dry skin!

    2. Quiet Door or Window Squeaky Hinges

    Pour some Johnson's™ Baby Oil in a small spray bottle. Then, anytime you hear an annoying squeak from a door or window hinges, simply squirt a little baby oil on the offender. Wipe up any excess oil with a clean cloth or paper towel.

    3. Use Baby Oil to Remove Bubble Gum

    Kids love to chew bubble gum, but it's difficult to remove the sticky goo from their faces and fingers. The next time you need a gum remover, reach for the bottle of baby oil. Pour a small amount on a tissue or paper towel. Rub it directly on the goo and it will come right off!

    4. Massage Your Stress Away With Baby Oil!

    Whenever you feel stressed or anxious, massage your body and you'll feel the tension melt away. Using a massage oil will help reduce the friction between your hands and skin. A cheap, yet effective lubricant to use is Johnson's™ Baby Oil!

    5. Use Baby Oil to Shave With

    Baby oil not only softens your skin, but it can also be used to soften your beard or the hair on your legs. To use it, simply pour some in your hands and rub it on the skin area you're going to shave.

    6. Remove Fresh Paint From Your Skin

    You've just finished painting your bedroom and your skin is all spattered with color. Pour a small amount of Johnson's™ Baby Oil in your hands and the paint will come right off! Just wipe your hands with a paper towel and they'll be good as new!

    7. Mix up a cup of baby oil in a small spray bottle with a tablespoon of lemon juice; shake well. Spray once on a soft cloth, then clean and polish your wood furniture. The lemon juice will clean, while the oil will add add lubrication and shine to the wood.

    8. Remove Sticky Price Stickers Off Glass Items

    Use a dab of baby oil and a cloth to take those pesky price stickers off glass containers and other items you've purchased. The oil will soak into the paper label and release the sticky bond. Then, wash the area in sudsy water and rinse well.

    9. Remove Make Up With Johnson's™ Baby Oil

    Pour some baby oil on a cotton ball, then use it to clean off eye shadow and other makeup off your face. After you're done, rinse your face with cool water and dab your skin dry with a soft cloth.

    10. Fix a Sticky Zipper Easily

    Pour some baby oil on a clean cloth, then wipe it along the teeth of a sticky zipper. Then, hook the zipper together and run the fastener up and down a few times. It should work fine now, without sticking or hanging up!

    Okay, remember I was a teenager. We(my brillant posse and I)put iodine in the baby oil, slathered ourselves with it to improve and hasten our tan. All it did for me was help me to fry in the Florida sun and mulitply my freckles! :< Do love it after the shower and the smell is WONDERFUL! :>

    Hi Emma - Great post! I remember as a teenager basting in it while tanning (ok - mostly burning) but this was when I was young and stupid! I love your hint about adding some to my moisturizer! Hugs to you...

    Hi Emma Mae,

    The many virtues of baby oil. Love it :)

    I used to used to "tan" using baby oil too. If only I knew better!

    Nowadays, I use baby oil to remove my waterproof mascara. I gently rub it into my lashes, then I put a baby oil soaked pad over my eye area and carefully swipe the mascara away.

    Thank you for your entry to our Shine Beauty panel. I wish you could see how big my smile is!
