Baby Products Moms Can Use

Winter winds and dry air can wreak havoc on your skin this season. But instead of going out and buying expensive new skincare products, take a peek inside your diaper bag first! Some of the items you use on your baby will work just as well on you—saving you time and money in the process. Here are six products that protect both mom and baby from the harsh weather:

The thing I love about Babo Oatmilk Calendula Moisturizing Baby Lotion ($16.50), aside from its mildness, is its scent. It has a slightly herbal, almost musky aroma with a tiny hint of patchouli that I just adore. I also bought their Moisturizing Baby Shampoo & Wash ($16). And guess what–they both ended up in my bathroom!

You know Mrs. Meyer’s for their excellent cleaning products, but their baby line is just as noteworthy. I picked up their Lip and Cheek Balm ($5.99) because the packaging was so cute, and somehow it migrated from my diaper bag to my purse. It is great to rub onto baby’s cheeks and momma’s lips for extra protection against dry weather.

Another great product is Mayron’s Chapstuff for Cheeks and Lips ($15). This giant stick is super handy and great for slicking over lips, cheeks, cuticles and any dry spots. I used this all last winter on my son’s cheeks to protect against the wind and slathered it all over my lips and hands.

I knew I would like Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Baby Oil Rub (available in Target stores only; $9.99) because argon oil, frankincense and myrrh are on their ingredient list. I love argon for its excellent moisturizing properties and frankincense and myrrh for their ancient and yummy scents. The product adds another layer of moisture to my skin when I apply it after a shower. When my baby is in a relaxed mood, I can also give him a rubdown post-bath for a special treat!

Boudreaux’s Baby Kisses ($2.36) for lips and cheeks is made by the same company that makes the cult favorite Butt Paste. It is easy to toss in your purse or bag and adds moisture and protection to tender skin–and works great on both mom and baby.

Ghostlight Theater Camp

Ghostlight Theater Camp is a summer theater camp for campers ages 9-17. Providing 10-day, 3-week, and 6-week programs that combine high-caliber theater training with a traditional summer camp experience.&nbsp; Working with Broadway artists both in classes and in productions, campers will have access to skill development, mentorships, and lifelong connections that will follow them beyond camp. Ghostlight focuses on ensemble theatre values and practicies that support individuality and self-expression in the context of community. This means that no camper at Ghostlight is in the back row or sitting on the side. Each day brings multiple opportunities to perform and create with fellow campers in an environment filled with support.&nbsp; When not making theater, campers can enjoy the benefits of a summer camp in Maine that no other theater camp offers. Stargazing in a hammock, walks in the woods, downtime by the pool, and quiet time reading in the Gazebos with the sound of wind all around are some of highlights of a summer unplugged and away from screens.&nbsp; Finally, the most meaningful and lasting gift of a summer at Ghostlight is the friendships made that last a lifetime. Though the love of theater brings us together, and the work we do stands out from other experiences, the community focus of Ghostlight Theater Camp is why we hear, year after year, that campers cannot wait to return.&nbsp;
