We may hold our breath for style move Kate Middleton makes (and oh yeah, beauty too), but her little man, a certain Prince George, is turning one this month. (July 22, if you're really interested.) And in his royal honor, we're taking our summer beauty cues from the kid. His skin is pretty perfect after all, don't you think?


While it feels strange to dip into baby products for your own beauty routine, I swear it's not: baby products are super soothing, extremely gentle, mostly chemical-free and really friendly to crazy-sensitive skin (trust me on that one, 'cause I have it). Plus, they tend to be cheaper than organic options for adults.

A great product to start with? Weleda Calendula Shampoo and Body Wash, $13. Besides the fact that calendula-spiked products usually cost twice as much, the flower extract soothes and softens skin and hair, while sesame oil hydrates and absorbs quickly. That's a serious amount of bang for your buck. It's also a GREAT detangler, too.

Burt's Bees Dusting Powder, $6, used for, you know, a baby's bottom, is pretty much the greatest thing ever for sweaty summers and uncomfortably close subway rides. (Can you tell I've lived it?) Powder before you get dressed to limit awkward sweat spots, use it post-gym shower to help dry skin quickly or dust yourself pre-run to ward off chafing. Addicted to dry shampoo? This stuff doubles as an oil-absorber. Just sprinkle a bit on your scalp and brush. Brilliant, right?

Also awesome? The Babo Swim & Sport Detangling Spray, $14, which rocks for color-treated hair. It's packed with wild pansy, a natural UV filter that protects against chlorine, sun and salt, as well as moisturizing aloe vera and cucumber extract. Use it for a day at the beach, pre-run or after your shower when your hair won't behave.

And if you're craving a spa moment--and let's be real, you know royalty does--massage a dab of The Honest Co. Organic Breathe Easy Rub, $9, onto pressure points and breathe deeply--the organic lavender and rosemary essential oils will sooth your senses and help you relax.


Seriously, why wouldn't you use 'em? All hail Prince George, amirite?
