There are more kids skincare buys out there than ever, the digital beauty shelves are full of the stuff, so the possibilities are endless when it comes to kitting the children out with stellar skin buys. Some are so darned good in fact that they're well worth pinching for your own use. Why buy in a luxurious bubble bath for the little one without indulging in it yourself? That's if you manage to salvage enough precious minutes to yourself to close the bathroom door of course! The skin tech behind the best bathtime essentials and baby-friendly skin buys mean they have the potential to benefit your skin too, especially if it errs on the sensitive side. Most baby products are angled at preserving the skin's moisture barrier, making the products particularly beneficial to adults when it comes to the drying winter months which seem to sap skin of moisture like nothing else.
So which kids products should we be making a beeline for? Well we've done the hard work so you don't have to. Scroll down to shop our selection of the best kids skincare buys that we deem worth pinching for yourself. Take ointments for example. Most baby ointments are made to calm and heal irritated patches of skin and are likely to work just as well for you if you have any areas of skin that seem particularly dry and a little red.
Baby oil is another must-have
Baby oil is another must-have. The next time you pop in for a shower or take a bath, afterwards try smoothing your go-to baby oil over your skin whilst it's still wet. Oils are occlusive so this will lock in moisture a treat. You'll notice your skin's condition improving in just a few uses. Plus it saves you shopping for your own alternative right? So here we go. Behold the kids bathtime and skincare products that you might want to start sampling yourself:
