Baby Bum Products Reviews

Do you have children that suffer with eczema? Does bath time cause stress and irritation to their skin? Well stop there! This has happened to me 2/3 of my children. I was never able to find the proper products intended for their skin types to treat and provide comfort. I’m excited to announce you don’t have to worry anymore. I’ve recently experienced a line of amazing products for children and baby’s with sensitive skin. Check out the products I’ve received and tested for reviewing purposes. I received this products from Influenster complimentary but all opinions are 100% my own.

Baby Bum Products: #TrustTheBum #BabyBum

Lotion:
I’m so excited to be using Baby Bum products and most importantly the Baby Bum Everyday Lotion. I love how it’s formulated for my two children little with sensitive skin due to eczema. It’s been a challenge finding the best products for their skin type yet gentle enough for their skin to not cause irritation. I can officially announce we’ve come to terms with that challenge. My children with eczema can finally enjoy after bath time without the irritation of their lotion. Its got a nice fragrance and it’s so calming. You can definitely smell the coconut oil with the shea and cocoa butters. Its so moisturizing for their skin. Their skin just soaks it right up! I use this product after bath times or when my children say their skin feels itchy and dry. It doesn’t the job everytime. I love the soft colors of the packaging and how kid friendly it is. The name is very catchy too!
Sunscreen:
Having children with eczema is sometimes difficult trying to find the right products just for their skin type without their skin being further irritated from certain ingredients put into products. With that being said, even in the winter time you want to protect your children’s skin from harmful sun rays as well. That can add to their skin irritation and sensitivity making them uncomfortable. I love the Baby Bum sunscreen! I love how it’s not sticky and absorbs nicely! It hasn’t irritated my children’s skin. It’s like a smooth lotion so to speak. It has no fragrance which tells me it’s made of all natural ingredients leaving my children with healthy non-irritated skin. This product lasting up to 80 minutes water resistance is amazing as we near the warmer months splashing around in the lake. We want to protect their skin and this will definitely get the job done! It’s such a gentle formula I will be recommending this to my local Mom friends and   others. A little bit of this product spreads a long way!

Shampoo & Wash:
My son suffers from cradle cap/dandruff and skin eczema. You can imagine the irritation that comes with bath time if your not using gentle products on their skin and scalp. Upon trying the Baby Bum shampoo & wash I was amazing at how well it lathered considering it came out in a foam. It lathered amazingly and covered his scalp and hairs all around. It left his scalp gentle and smooth. Not irritated at all. I would definitely use and reuse this product again and again because it’s so gentle. It has a light natural scent. It scalp is currently dandruff-free! Who needs harsh chemicals when you can use natural products to eat the job done just as well but without further irritation and damage to the skin. Just a few pumps of this bottle and his head is lathered up. It rinses our easily. It’s not a heavy weight product. It’s formukated to meet the needs of my sons skin condition. I couldn’t be any happier. I will be recommending this shampoo and wash to my local mom friends and others. I love how this is a 2-in-1 so not only can I use this on my sons hair and scalp but also his body. 

Balm:
I’ve never used balms much on my children in the past. When I tried out the Baby Bum Coconut Balm...I instantly realized what I was missing out on. 2 of my children suffer with eczema. They develop it differently. One has redness patchy rashes while my other has overall bump dry skin. This bank works wonders on BOTH of my children treating both skin types the same. I love how it has a natural coconut scent. The Balm glides on gently and melts right into their skin leaving it hydrated and protected from the dry air. My daughters red patches start to lose redness and her itchiness wears off. My sons bumpy skin becomes less bumpy and smoother like it should be. This is the best Balm I’ve ever used and I’m so excited to have finally experienced this product for my children. As with lotion, this Balm keeps my children’s skin softened and moisturized with a longer time period. In between baths I apply this to their prone areas of irritation and their skin stays nicely relaxed and unbothered by their eczema.

L’Oréal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm

My Elvive Experience!

Have you ever seen a new product and wanted to try it but didn’t know if it would work for you and be a waste? Yah, that’s totally me.  BUT...I absolutely LOVE trying out new products and when I got the opportunity from @Influenster to test L’Oréal Paris Elvive Hair Balm I was very eager. I color my hair every 4-6 weeks to maintain my blonde color. I was worried if this product wasn’t going to fulfill its duty and provide hydration, less dullness, dryness, frizziness, and help my hair overall look and feel more manageable. Boy, was I wrong! It did just what it says after 1 use! Upon reading I seen on the 8.5oz. canister it comes in that it repairs up to 1 year of damage after 1st use. My hair was silk smooth and so soft afterwards.


Coloring your hair (in reality and my defense lol) can cause a lot of damage. So why not enjoy your hair color and restore it to its original state of beauty without the damage! Split ends, no more! Yep. Even a trim is needed but every now and then a little extra boost can go a long way. My hair is completely revived! Check out the results for yourself with my before and after photo’s. Now you can see why I recommend this product. 👇🏻
