Beauty Icons - Top Tips with Johnson's Baby Oil!
Johnson's Baby Oil have just brought out the fab new guide 'Ultimate Beauty Icons' to give top tips on using baby oil in your everyday beauty routine, the guide is created in conjunction with Make-Up Artist Jo Gillingwater & is inspired by some of the world's most beautiful & iconic women such as Marilyn Monroe, Raquel Welch & Audry Hepburn. Baby Oil, which has an iconic status itself, has been used by woman for over 70 years & today it is still a must have product for top make-up artists as well as being adored by celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Victoria Beckham & Jessica Alba.
Using the full range of Baby Oil, I have been putting a few of the beauty techniques from their guide to the test & firstly I must admit I don't think my skin has ever felt better!
The original Johnson's Baby Oil is also now out as a Spray as well as a Gel which makes it a lot easier to apply, the spray is fantastic for when you're just out of the shower plus it's best to apply at this point as Johnson's advise it will lock in about 10 times more moisture when the skin is still damp, the Gel version is much easier to apply while the skin is dry & works wonders on dry knees & elbows! For extra soft skin try Baby Oil with Aloe Vera & for the ultimate relaxation after your bath at night to unwind apply 'Bedtime Oil' afterwards which contains relaxing aromas designed to help babies drift off to sleep, although I've found it works pretty well with adults too!
Anyway here's my favourites from their top tips on using Baby Oil to create some amazing looks -
1 Highlight your Decolletage - Take a small amount of Baby Oil across your collar bone & chest (the spray works really well for this) then dust a little shimmer powder over the top, the powder intensifies with the Baby Oil to create a glamorous finish for an evening look
2 Create a Natural Dewy Look - This is best when using cream blushers as well as eyeshadows with your make-up, take a tiny amount & apply above your cheeks as a highlighter to the top corner close to your eye, also with a pea sized amount highlight your brow bone too (the Gel is easier to use for this as it's slightly firmer)
3 Ultimate Legs - To keep your legs in top condition Johnson's recommend applying Baby Oil every day, it not only moisturises but creates a glisten that gives them a healthy sheen hiding any imperfections. Also I found that after applying my self tanning moisturiser, taking a small amount of Baby Oil over the skin really helps to even out the finish reducing any streaking (again I find the Gel works best for this)
A few other little beauty tricks that the guide enlightens us with, is that baby oil is great for taming unruly eyebrows, take a tiny amount & comb through to keep them sleek & in shape, also it can even help create slick hairstyles while giving your hair extra condition as well! I would definitely recommend it as one of the best eye make-up removers too, especially when trying to get rid of any stubborn left over waterproof mascara!
One thing is for sure though it certainly is one of the best moisturisers on the market for your body, keeping it soft & in perfect condition, it's great for any problem areas plus it can also help prevent stretch marks, what more could you possibly ask for!
