Baby products craze among ultramodern girls

- But these products cannot meet the needs of aging skin

Children's skin is very smooth. There are special oils, shampoos, lotions etc. available in the market to keep the skin of babies soft. We use the same for infants. These products contain mild chemicals that do not harm the skin, so they do not have any side effects. Due to these quality elements in baby products, adult women have also started using baby products.

Some models use baby oil to remove makeup. According to him, this leaves the skin very smooth after the makeup is removed. A yesteryear actress who still looks gorgeous today admitted that she only uses baby shampoo. Some other people use baby lotion to care for hands and feet. According to him, these products contain very little chemicals, so there are no side effects and the skin remains very smooth. It was also found that the sales of these products increased due to the same reason. A survey conducted in this regard also reported that the demand for baby products has increased among adult women.

Products formulated for babies' skin contain almonds, shea butter, jojoba oil, aloe vera, calendula, beeswax and other ingredients. As all these ingredients contain healing properties and essential nourishment for the skin, many women insist on using baby products instead of cosmetics. They believe that using these products keeps the skin youthful and radiant forever. Besides, baby products are packaged so attractively that many women cannot resist the temptation to buy them. Many women also love the subtle scents that come from baby products.

Every woman opts for a 'screen tonic' that is safe for the skin and contains minimal chemicals. A famous model said that she loves baby products and has been using the same products for years. Apart from this, the skin remains smooth, it also ensures that there are no side effects. She uses only baby oil to moisturize her hands and feet. He said that the aroma from this oil keeps the mind happy and it is also effective. Baby-Gel is water-based so it does not leave a greasy feeling on the skin. Likewise, this model uses baby-needle hand wash to keep hands soft.

Reading this begs the question, are baby products really effective for older women? However, dermatologists say that baby products are only made with the skin of young children in mind. These products contain very few chemicals but have not yet been tested on how beneficial they are for adult skin.

According to dermatologists, baby products do not contain the necessary ingredients for adult skin care. The skin also undergoes many changes with age. When a baby is born, its skin is very smooth. But with increasing age, the activity of oil glands decreases. So the skin gets dry and wrinkles. Apart from that, particles, pollution, excess of cosmetics etc. become the enemy of the skin and hence its radiance is lost. With growing age, there is also a change in the body's hormones. So every woman should choose products according to her age and skin needs.

According to a leading makeup artist, every woman should choose products according to her lifestyle. An adult's skin is adversely affected by pollution and other reasons. So products that can remove these effects on the skin should be used. There are mainly four types of skin – oily, normal, dry and combination skin. Therefore, one should know the type of skin and use the appropriate cosmetics and products. For example, women with oily skin should use creams that are high in moisturizers. While a girl with dry skin should use a lotion with more creamy content.

Many girls believe that baby cream is very safe and good for sensitive skin. Actually baby cream is quite oily. Infants have dry skin because their oil glands are not fully functional. Baby creams are made keeping in mind the delicate skin of children. It contains a high amount of moisturizer, so if an adult woman uses it, it can cause black or white heads on the skin. Girls need oil-free products for their skin. Also, baby creams do not contain antiaging ingredients. That should not be forgotten.

Many make-up artists, especially those involved in the TV industry, use baby oil to remove makeup. International brand makeup-removers are very expensive. So they mostly use baby-oil but the reality is, baby-oil is only suitable for massaging the baby's skin. It does not meet the needs of mature skin. On the contrary, it is too greasy and can cause acne on the skin. Make-up remover or cleansing milk should be used to remove makeup.

Baby shampoos are also mildly scented and contain very few chemicals. It protects the baby's sensitive and tender skin. Many shampoos also have a body wash, so this shampoo can be used for bathing the baby in addition to washing the head while traveling. But this shampoo is considered unsuitable for adults. Because their hair is oily and dusty and they also have head sweat. So experts say that using baby shampoo does not make the hair completely clean. Apart from that, problems like hair fall and dandruff and colored hair require a little more care. So baby shampoo is not proven to be effective.

Soaps made for babies are also specially made keeping their skin in mind. Similarly, not all baby soaps are high in alkaline content. If the amount of chemicals in this soap is high, its use may cause itching and dry skin. So it is imperative to use normal soap from a good company instead.

The smell of baby powder is very sweet and nice. Therefore, some experts believe that by using it, one feels refreshed throughout the day. It does not make much difference if baby powder is used instead of talcum powder. Also, it should be remembered that using other baby products does not solve the skin problems of older age.
