Beauty enthusiasts are turning their skin back to its baby-like state.
He swears by his cheesy tricks for getting super soft skin.
Reddit user Fax5jrj knows what it takes to turn back time.
“Baby skin care products are great and usually very cheap,” he says.
“Babies’ skin is very sensitive, so when we make products for babies, we add only the good ingredients and leave out the bad ones,” he added.
He also shared other ways to use baby products more effectively.
“The ingredient lists of baby products often contain everything we’re looking for. Eczema creams always have the same ingredients, but with colloidal oatmeal mixed in,” she said.
“That’s been my obsession lately — obsessing over ingredient lists and figuring out how to spend as little money as possible on skincare, which led directly to this,” he added.
“My skin is the best it’s ever been and honestly, I’m a baby at heart so it all makes sense now.”
He discovered why his skin looks and feels as soft as a baby’s bottom: an active ingredient.

Some of his favorite products contain ceramides, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, licorice and green tea extract.
He acknowledged that many baby products contain plant-based alcohol, which doesn’t seem to have any adverse effects on the skin.
One great product to help smooth baby’s skin is Aveeno Baby Eczema Thrapy Moisturizing Cream , which you can buy on Amazon for $19.99.
Contains ceramides, panthenol, allantoin and colloidal oatmeal.
“Colloidal oatmeal is a great skin protectant that doesn’t clog pores or leave a sticky feeling, so I use it twice daily on any red areas,” he said.
And that’s not the only bargain in his skincare collection.
“The pipettes were also a great find because they’re basically Biossance products but in a cheaper, better and more useful formulation,” he said.
