I meant to order baby oil, and accidentally ordered the gel. Ok, so I tried it and I love it! It smells wonderful, just like baby lotion and powder, in my opinion. You can take makeup off with it, use it like moisturizing lotion, etc....

I find myself wanting to do feminine things I haven't wanted to in decades, like wear makeup and fix my hair. I am very grateful for this! I heal more and more every day and it's wonderful.

I've never seen the gel, but it sounds rather lovely! You are a delightful woman, HC. I'm honored to know you - and to be inspired by you.

I love using it during the summer months.

I get that lovely sheen to my skin tone.

Just bear in mind that mineral oil, the primary ingredient in baby oil, & baby oil gel, is a petroleum by-product (as is petrolatum, or petroleum jelly), & thus isn't a sustainable resource, nor is it necessarily safe, although Johnson & Johnson swear they're using the safest ingredients possible... their track record isn't great where safety is concerned, though.

Hey @HappyCrafter a trick I use with baby oil is after I am done all my business in the shower I will put it all over my arms and legs and then rinse. Its a nice way of sealing in the moisture.

@sarahsweets

Does that help it not be so oily? My feet are dry and I would love to lube them up but I don't want my socks to get funky oiled up. You know, they're never the same after that, LOL
