Other than the couple of months in my early twenties when I was obsessed with coconut smelling products (I mean everything down to the dish soap smelled like coconut), I have been using baby products since before I can remember. It’s not just because I have an unhealthy attachment to smelling like a powder puff, but I have never had to complain about dry skin. No cracked knees, no painful elbows, but instead, for the most part, baby-bottom soft skin (I’ve never actually touched a baby’s bottom, but from what I’ve heard, it’s pretty soft).

My mom tried to wean me off the baby shampoo and onto more grown-up brands like Neutrogena, Dove or Fekkai, but it was no use. The only shampoo that could do my black locks any justice was good ole’ fashion yellow Johnson and Johnson. So to this day, I’ve stuck to it. Even though I’m a young woman in my mid-twenties, I proudly proclaim myself a “baby shampoo user”. And that’s not all. Sometime during my teens, my skin started to dry. I got these weird stress patches of eczema-like skin and had to start using lotion. So what did I turn to?
