Nourish and Protect Baby’s Delicate Skin with Aveeno Baby Daily Lotion

March 6, 2013 by Kathryn

Sensitive skin has always been a concern for our family and that’s why I make sure that the personal care products my boys use are as gentle as possible. Aveeno Baby has a passion for creating products that are nourishing, moisturizing and suitable for even a newborn’s sensitive skin, so when I was offered the chance to review Aveeno Baby Daily Lotion with natural colloidal oatmeal, I was interested to see how it worked for my boys.

Winter can be one of the harshest times of the year for a little one, because delicate skin gets dry and itchy when the temperature drops. My three-year-old son is no exception and I looked forward to discovering whether using the Aveeno Baby Daily Lotion over a two-week period would make a difference.

Escaping from the cycle of poverty can seem almost impossible in some situations but it’s been consistently found that one of the best ways to break that cycle is through education. An education gives a child the chance to better their future and it’s so sad to think about the many children that don’t get that chance.

nivea plan canada NIVEA has always been a company that believes in giving back and that’s why I was so excited to learn about the company’s new initiative with Plan Canada to fund an education project in Senegal. Currently, three out of five children in Senegal don’t have access to education but with the partnership between these two organizations and the $25,000 that NIVEA Canada has pledged to the program, that statistic will change!

If there is one part of my body that drives me a little bit nuts, it’s my feet. No matter how hard I try to make them look good, they are almost always rough, cracked and dried out. Every year when summer rolls around I try to get my feet sandal-ready and every year I find myself dealing with the same foot issues over and over again.

With the help of regular exfoliating and some special foot treatments, my feet weren’t doing too bad this year. But I still had issues with dry, dead skin and I really hoped that the items in the pack would solve that once and for all. [Read more...]

Earth’s Best Organic Sleepytime Lotion Helps Relax Your Baby with a Soothing Nighttime Routine-Giveaway

At the end of a busy day, it can be hard to get kids calmed down and ready for bed. There are a few different things that can help infants and toddlers to prepare for sleeping. Sticking to daily routine, enjoying a half-hour of quiet time before bed and dimming the lights are all tried-and-true ways of setting the mood for bedtime. And to really help relax your little one, why not try a little aromatherapy?

earth's best organic sleepytime lotion chamomile Earth’s Best Organic’s new Sleepytime Lotion in Chamomile was especially designed to help prepare babies and children for sleep with a lightweight bedtime formula and calming botanicals. And like all Earth’s Best products, the lotion is hypoallergenic and free of parabens, synthetic fragrances, pththalates, SLS and mineral oil. I was so excited to try this gentle new lotion and see how my boys liked it!

The first thing I noticed about this lotion was how nice and light the formula was. It was a little thinner than most of the lotions that my boys have used, which meant that it absorbed into their skin very quickly. Since they usually apply lotion after getting out of the bath, they really appreciated being able to get into their pyjamas a little quicker!

The scent of the Earth’s Best Organic Sleepytime Lotion was unique, but very pleasant. Most bedtime lotions that I’ve seen in the past have used lavender as the scent so I was intrigued by the use of Chamomile instead. It was a mild and slightly sweet aroma, perfect for relaxing at bedtime. And it left my boys’ skin so soft and smooth! If you want to see if your kids like this quick-absorbing lotion as much as mine did, you’re in luck because Earth’s Best is offering one lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader their own bottle of the new Sleepytime Lotion in Chamomile!

I really enjoyed using the Sleepytime Lotion in Chamomile at bedtime and while I can’t be sure that it helped my boys get to sleep quicker, it was a great way to moisturize and protect their skin and help them relax and prepare for bed. They both enjoyed using the lotion and putting it on after a bath is something that they’re quick to remind me about if I forget! If your little ones have trouble relaxing at bedtime, give it a try and help your precious darlings unwind with the natural scent of chamomile!
