Advantages: Smoothes your skin, can be used on anyone

Disadvantages: little bit expensive, slippy in the bath

I'm sure as I'm getting older my skin is getting dryer and dryer, must be getting an old Prune now eh?
As Winter approaches and the weather gets colder, the skin around my nose and my legs get dryer and dryer. My legs lately have been getting so dry that they look as though they have Dandruff. Maybe I should Head and Shoulders on them. Or I could sell some of the skin to make Snowstorms, yuk...
I love trying new products as most women do, and one month when I was going stiff round the leg area, this is how it felt anyway, I decided to scout my local bargain beauty shop. Then I forgot what time it was and went to the local chemist instead, (all the local shops had closed it was 6pm).
Normally I don't buy Bath products from normal pharmacists as they are quite expensive, but when I spotted Johnsons Baby Problem Dry Skin Oil Bath, I decided to have a go.

Priced at £3.99 for a 200 ml bottle, it was in the normal Johnsons type bottle. Instead of the typical pink though it was a white bottle and had a Blue flip up lid. Sometimes I struggle with flip up lids for some reason, but this one was easy. I often wonder what people riddled with arthiritis would do with awkard lids, hope it won't be me.
I must admit I do prefer Bubbly Bubble bath with loads of suds, but wasn't expecting this to be like that with being an oil. I suppose an oil is even better for your skin if you have dry skin, and was looking forward to seeing the benefits.
Another thing on the bottle was the fact that it was good for people with Eczema conditions. I'm not sure if I get a bit of that too, especially little bits are appearing on my back, I feel like a snake, hiss.
The good thing about this product is you can also dab it onto your skin neat and there's no limits to where it can be applied.

*DIRECTIONS*

You can either pour 1-2 squirts under a hot running tap and then carefully get in the bath. Be careful not to slip as Oil i
n the bath really does make things slippy. Even after having a bath and the water has gone down the plughole, it still can be a bit slippy, so a good clean with Flash Liquid or similar should help.
As I mentioned earlier, you can apply direct to the skin, then leave on rubbing it straight into the skin, or apply just before your bath for added benefits.

The water will turn a white cloudy colour, but this is normal, I think most oils tend to do that. It didn't particularly have a fragrance to it, afterall it's Perfume free, but I still love the distinctive smell of Johnsons products.
Once in the bath, you can feel the silkiness of the Oil and feel as though it's working instantly. I must admit, my skin felt lovely afterwards, almost like a babies bottom, afterall it's not just for them, but adults too.

Ingredients it contains are Skin friendly Oils, whatever they are and Zinc Oxide which sounds interesting. It's Lanolin free and Hypoallergenic, so it's ideal for the most sensitive of skins.

The great thing about Johnsons products are they can be used on adults and not just babies, afterall I'm sure my skin was softer as a baby than it is now, so I can reverse it with the help of this Oil.
After several days of usuage, my skin felt wonderful, the dry patches were almost non existent, and I didn't feel like a snake anymore, only my husbands, oh naughty.
