The use of baby creams by adults: What the experts say
Mirror

TikTok knows no limit to experimentation and this time it is showing the world that using a cream dedicated to babies is good for problem skin.

Known as "face basting", this trend encourages people with dehydrated and red-prone skin to apply large amounts of baby cream to their face. This product should contain zinc oxides and is commonly used by parents on babies' bottoms to soothe diaper rash.

Dermatologists say that these creams are designed to combat dermatitis and irritation problems. They have ingredients that help with inflammation and are especially balanced to not cause side effects on babies' delicate skin.

Dermatologists do not completely reject this trend, as they support and confirm the help that active ingredients give to the skin after application, but they suggest that adults should not base their skin care on a baby product. It is necessary that for skins that are particularly irritated and prone to redness, there is a deeper treatment, with other ingredients found only in adult products.
