Many moms love experimenting with beauty products like lotions, shampoo and soap. So why not get the kids in on the fun? There are some great products out there to get your kids cleaned up in a hurry and smelling like a rose in the process. {relatedarticles}Some of the ingredients in kids' products have come under fire lately, particularly sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, which are lathering agents. Many studies have found these substances to be carcinogenic or causing eye damage, especially to infants and children, whose corneas are still developing. If you want to avoid these chemicals, then try lines like Aubrey Organics, Burt's Bees, Kiss My Face and Lush. If you can't even get your kids to take a bath, let alone use soap, then some new, innovative products are for you.
Get the kids to lather up with soap that foams up, instead of a boring old bar. Kiss My Face and even Wal-Mart offer different types and colors. For girly girls who are old enough to take bubble baths, try Lush's bubble bars in yummy scents, like Creamy Candy or Flosty Gritter, which turns the bath a sparkly pink color. {relatedarticles}Suggest a shower for kids who are a little older and don't want to take a "babyish" bath. You can even purchase shower heads that reach further down to smaller people and have a softer water pressure. Plus, they come in fun animal shapes. Keep it simple when it comes to skincare when they leave the bath. A fun lotion dispenser in your child's favorite character can be filled with whatever lotion you like. When kids are having fun, they hardly realize that they're caring for their skin and getting clean in the process!
