As a mom of two little ones, baby products have become a big part of my life—and they take up a lot of space in my home and closets. When I open our bathroom cabinets, I see shelves full of things we’ve used over the years. The great thing is these products are safe, gentle, and mild for the whole family. What many people don’t realize is how many surprising uses those well-loved baby items can have around the house.
In partnership with JOHNSON’S baby, I’m sharing some of my favorite ways to repurpose a few of their most popular products. I love that comforting baby scent and enjoy working it into my own beauty routine. Here are some mom hacks to help you use every last drop of your kids’ Johnson’s products.
The best baby-product beauty hacks
Uses for baby shampoo
Gentle and tear-free, baby shampoo is useful for more than just hair and sticky hands.
Cleaning makeup brushes
Baby shampoo removes old makeup, oil, and bacteria from brushes. It’s an affordable and effective alternative to pricier brush cleaners. Mix 1 tablespoon of shampoo with 1 cup of water in a bowl or glass. Swirl your brushes in the solution, rinse, and let them dry.
Cleaning delicates
For lingerie or other delicate items, add 1 teaspoon of baby shampoo to a sink of warm water and hand-wash. Rinse and hang to dry.
Uses for Bedtime Baby Wash
This gentle wash has a soothing scent everyone in the family can enjoy.
Exfoliating body scrub
Combine relaxation and soft skin with this simple DIY scrub. Mix 1 teaspoon of Bedtime Baby Bath, 1/4 cup of sugar, and enough water to make a thick paste. Rub gently over your body for light exfoliation—great for glowing skin and better circulation.
Uses for baby oil
DIY makeup remover pads
The gentle, tear-free formula makes baby oil a great base for homemade remover pads.
You’ll need:
– Wide-mouth mason jar
– 1 1/2 cups water
– 2 tablespoons JOHNSON’S Baby Shampoo
– 1/2 tablespoon JOHNSON’S Baby Oil
– Large cotton rounds
– Optional: a few drops of essential oil (lavender or rosehip) or vitamin E
Mix the liquids in a separate bowl. Place the cotton rounds in the jar and slowly pour the mixture over them (hold the rounds down while pouring). Use to wipe off makeup easily.
Super moisture lock
After a shower or bath, rub baby oil over damp skin to lock in moisture. It helps soothe dry, winter-stressed skin and leaves it soft and hydrated.
Uses for baby lotion
Foot cream
Apply a generous layer of baby lotion with a little baby oil to your feet before bed, put on cotton socks, and wake up to softer feet. This works well for cracked heels and rough calluses.
Make the most of JOHNSON’S baby products beyond just your little ones—and save a bit of money in the process.
