Can Adults Use Baby Products?

       Does Baby Products Work For Adult Skin?     

Everyone knows that baby skin is incredibly delicate and that babies are not born with skin barrier and hence they are not as protected against skin conditions as adults are. And thus, baby's skin needs that extra love. So the products formulated for babies have extra-gentle formulas that help baby's skin barrier develop properly. But the question is does it work for adults too? Let's find it out.

How the formulation of baby products differs from "adult" skincare products?

By now we know that babies have less of a developed lipid barrier than adults, so which means that their skin is more prone to allergies caused by harsh products or environmental exposure because there's no oil to protect their skin. Baby products are also pH balanced. So we can say that baby products also work well for adults with sensitive skin. 

But again now the question arises that are all baby products "safe" for sensitive skin. Now we need understand that baby products are a very specific kind of safe and for a very specific kind of sensitive skin which is usually found in babies. So before using these baby products on your skin just by thinking that you have sensitive skin you need to understand that there are several other reason that causes skin sensitivity and not just a compromised lipid barrier. For example rosacea which non of the baby products can treat. 

Baby products are suitable for which skin type?

Baby products are more suitable for people with normal skin because they have no large pores and no tendency to break out so because of that any basic skincare product will work for them. And it also works great for people with dry skin as they don't have pores and skin is extremely dry so all they need is that extra nourishment. 

But there are also some baby products that you can use in innovative ways:-

1) Baby Powder

You can use baby powder to remove oil from your scalp in between washes. As it's much gentle then most of the dry shampoos available in the market and it also won't dry out your scalp. But yes it may take a lot of time to fully work into your roots, but if you have patience then it's definitely worth it. 

2) Baby Oil

You can use baby oil as make-up remover as it's extremely gentle on skin, but tough enough to take off the most long-lasting eyeliner and liquid lipsticks. But trust me that one bottle will last you forever. 

3) Diaper Cream

If you are looking for a indulgent moisturizer then I think you should try diaper cream. I know it sounds silly, but diaper cream is great for preventing rashes. It's thick formula also moisturizes to perfection and also minimizes the risk of skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. 

CONCLUSION:- 

Hence, there are numerous benefits of using baby products.
