Advantages: Many uses, lovely smell

Disadvantages: Difficult to wash from clothing if stained my accident

I have to admit that I was buying this long before I had my baby. I was one of those people who seemed to have constatly dry skin, no matter what expensive moisturiser I bought. I remember seeing a baby oil advert, I'm sure you know the one. The lady applies it after the shower "to lock in the moisture". How true was this !! I use it all the time now. It also works as a great make-up remover, even for waterproof mascara. Smooth a little on your lips for the shiney look, or even apply a little over your regular lipstick for an extra glossy appearance. Try using it as an aftersun treatment, as it locks in so much moisture in the skin, this will help prevent peeling.I have quite sensative skin and this is ideal for me.
Be a bit carefull when squirting as it is quite difficult to wash out of clothing if you should accidentlly spill.
Why not use it on Hubby when you get the chance for some "alone" time. It doesn't smell to girly (mind you, by the time it gets to that stage I shouldn't think they would care much anyway)

As for baby. The poor little thing lost all her hair at 2 months old. When it finally started to grow back, it came complete with terrible cradle cap.
After rubbing a bit on her head (she was not impressed) and combing it through, the cradle cap totally vanished. I also use it on her after bathtime. She really enjoys that bit, as it is her "baby massage". This really helps her to relax and is lovely for quality bonding time.

I really thought it would leave skin feeling greasy, after all, it is an oil. But me and baby are now a couple of softies. I can't get enough of the original Johnsons smell. The bottle lasts you for ages. When this one runs out I am definatly going to try the new Aloe Vera one. I have tried some "cheaper" brands, but these have not been as good. They do not smell quite the same and they have a sort of gritty feel to them that is hard to explain.
Average price is around £1.89 for 300ml.
