Two Top Drugstore Gems: Good for Baby, Good for Mommy - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Today MBB reader Jane in Philly shares 2 bully drugstore products for babe and mommy.

Hello, Beautiful Women! I'one thousand really excited to be writing a guest mail for this blog. I've only recently discovered MMB, so I've been doing lots of catching up on past posts and searching for how-to's and tips. MMB is my guilty pleasure.

My husband thinks it'southward light-headed how people can exist so passionate about cosmetics enough to blog most them. Petty does he know just HOW MUCH exists in cyberspace nearly a item lipstick (e.one thousand., MAC's Lollipop Loving), let lone everything else that people buy, apply, and review.

Anyway, here's a wait at 2 products I'd like to phone call "Proficient for Baby, expert for Mommy."

Pregnancy, labor and commitment, recovery, breastfeeding — those were probably the greatest physical challenges I've ever endured, even more than running a marathon! For all you lot moms out there, you know what I mean.

At present my daughter is nearly a year old — how fourth dimension flies! Over the by twelvemonth, I've come across several "beauty gems" that I would not have discovered had it not been for my sweet baby girl. 🙂

Aveeno Baby Calming Condolement Lotion

I honey this lotion! I should stock up on it in case Aveeno goes bust or something equally tragic happens.

FOR Babe: I use information technology to requite my babe a massage after her bathroom. The lavander scent is subtle and pleasant and doesn't scream "I'll make you smell good!" similar other baby products do. And there's something about lavander that actually does seem to calm her down for bedtime, especially when she's feeling under the weather.

FOR MOMMY: I started using it myself when I accidentally squeezed too much from the tube. I rubbed the excess on my elbows and knees. After that night, I started squeezing A LOT more out of the tube, and not by accident anymore! 🙂

I beloved what it does to my dry skin, especially the skin on my legs and arms. The texture is just correct — not also thick, not besides slippery. Information technology's so much ameliorate than Johnson & Johnson's baby lotion in lavender, which I used before getting Aveeno's. J&J's lotion is filmy and the smell is also much. The texture feels thin, slick, and doesn't seem to absorb into my pare — it just sits there (ironically, Aveeno'south parent company is J&J).

I'm becoming more loyal to Aveeno (also bank check out their suncare products also as their daily moisturizing lotion with SPF — perfect for year-circular sunday protection, which I demand!).

Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment

This does it ALL. I establish it at my pediatrician'southward office. I picked upwardly a scattering of tiny sample tubes (no shame!), forth with some coupons.

FOR BABY: I've been using it since my girl was about a week old, primarily for her cute little baby bum, and for what it'southward worth, she'south never had a diaper rash. I likewise use it when she scratches herself with her fingernails (I know… I'grand terrible about not clipping her nails regularly, but if you're a new mom, you know it's non easy!). The scratches heal chop-chop and are very mild for her frail skin. She'due south never shown any adverse reactions to information technology.

FOR MOMMY: I'thousand not ashamed to admit that I made information technology a habit to pick upwards Aquaphor samples every time my little i has an appointment. I like to take samples with me everywhere — handbag, diaper bag, office desk-bound drawer, automobile console, jacket pocket, bedside table. They're every bit ubiquitous in my household as lip lotion and diaper wipes.

Aquaphor works wonders on my anxiety (specially the heels) after a shower, and information technology's awesome on chapped, dry lips in winter.

My favorite apply of all? — running. I need Aquaphor when I'thou going beyond x miles because there's a good hazard I'll abrasion and get yucky blisters. Before I head out, I'll put some wherever my skin rubs — underneath my sports bra, in the groin expanse, around the waist, even underneath my ipod armstrap.

Information technology's especially of import when I'm running marathons, where my arms and legs make the same repetitive motions for about 3 hours and 55 minutes.

Now information technology's time for all of you lot to chime in, particularly y'all fabled new moms! Which baby products have you institute useful for your ain beauty needs?
