This baby lotion is very effective for mild eczema, as long as you don't have an allergy to oats.
Before I had a baby, I imagined that babies had perfect skin. Isn’t that why there’s that expression, “smooth as a baby’s bottom?” But it turns out that babies deal with a ton of skin issues. Some of them are mostly cosmetic (like baby acne and cradle cap), but others require treatment (like eczema).
I tried Target's dupe of one of my all-time favorite lotions. Does it live up to the real thing?
Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Body Lotion is a mainstay of my bedside table. It’s the lotion I use every night before I drift off to sleep (and the lotion I reapply every time I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, ha). I don’t think I can fall asleep without slathering it on my hands first…the sleep association is that strong. It’s not an expensive product, but I’ve always been curious about the store-brand dupes I’ve seen at…
This product lives up to the 'sheer' in its name, which is especially impressive for a zinc oxide-based sunscreen. It blends in like a dream and only leaves a very faint cast. And even though it's fragrance-free, it has a pleasant scent.
Supergoop Mineral Sheer Screen Sunscreen SPF 30 is the most elegant mineral/physical sunscreen I’ve ever tried. It’s impressive that it doesn’t contain any chemical sunscreen filters, because it blends in just like a chemical sunscreen would. Because it’s not water resistant, I only use it sparingly (whenever I’m sure I’m not going to sweat). But whenever I do use it, it’s always a treat.

I solemnly swear to research skin care and beauty products, ask my dad (the chemist) for advice, and share those findings with you!
