The baby products that work almost as hard as you do

<p>Life with a baby can be stressful, not to mention expensive. Pre-baby, you may have the time and energy to put on make-up every day or invest in the latest beauty cream but now you can barely find a spare moment to grab a quick shower in the morning! Plus from the moment they're born, little ones need hundreds of baby products that don't always come cheap and the costs can quickly add up. But just because your life is different now, that doesn't mean that you should forget about your own skin and beauty needs. And the good news is with multi-use baby products, you don't have to!</p><p>They may say 'baby' on the bottle but beauty gurus know that many of your little one's toiletries are actually wonderful for adult-use too. The great thing about baby products is that they're made with extra mild ingredients, designed to be soothing and non-irritating. So even mums with sensitive skin can give their baby's creams a try, without worrying that nasty additives and chemicals will aggravate the skin. Another bonus? Baby products are usually much cheaper than adult beauty buys! From the perfect make-up remover to a genius ointment for razor burn, these are the baby beauty products you can &ndash; and should &ndash; use yourself.</p><h2>Johnson's Baby Oil</h2><p><img alt="johnsons-baby-oil__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/johnsons-baby-oil__square_GL?scl=1"></p><p>A few drops will lock in moisture and keep your newborn's skin super soft, but did you know that <a href="http://groceries.asda.com/product/baby-skincare/johnsons-baby-baby-oil/910001969904?utm_source=goodliving&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=style-beauty-tips-baby-products" target="_blank">baby oil</a>, £1.75, is also a fantastic make-up remover?
