Johnson’s Baby Oil has long been a favourite of celebs and beauty fans alike. Praised for leaving skin as soft as a baby’s!
To be honest, as much as I love oil moisturising my skin and leaving it silky smooth, in the winter when I’m all layered up, I find them too heavy. In the summer, I use them all the time! Recently I’ve been using Boots’ No7 Dry Body Oil which is a lovely luxury after my morning – or evening – shower. When I was offered Johnson’s new light baby oil formula to try, I jumped at the opportunity.
The light oil comes in a spray bottle which is infinitely better than the Baby Oil bottles I remember I used to use which always leaked and got all sticky. Plus it means that you can regulate how much you use much more easily. It absorbs quickly and moisturises well.
As much as I like my Boots No7 oil, at just under £10, vs the £2.99 of Johnson’s baby oil, this is definitely the better beauty bargain!
Do you use oils for moisturising? Or do you prefer lotions? Have you tried Johnson’s newest oil?

This week, if you’re looking to save your pennies but still treat yourself to a new beauty product or two, head to your local high street and make a beeline for Boots.
Seventeen currently has 3 for 2 on all products. My favourite base coat and top coat just happen to be by Seventeen so I picked both up and got a new eye pencil for free.
As an added bonus, Boots is again offering a No7 voucher with every £5 (or more) spent in store. This gives two vouchers: £3 off make up and £5 off skin care. I intend to use the £5 voucher to get a new bottle of the No7 Pampering Dry Skin Oil Body Spray for my upcoming holiday. It’s a gorgeous light oil that is wonderfully moisturising. Alternatively, get ready for summer and stock up on some suncare products or fake tan.
With the £3, why not try the brand new No7 High Shine Lip Crayons – these are perfect for having on hand in your carry-on for holidays:
Have you treated yourself in Boots this week?
I am totally loving print trousers for spring. Teamed with a plain tee and bright heels, they look great for the office. And they don’t have to be expensive either. Both of my pairs have come in under a tenner! I’ve picked out my five favourites from H&M:
