Baby Mantra Natural Products Are Perfect For Sensitive Skin #MC #Sponsored #BabyMantra

I participated in Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Baby Mantra. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

When my first son was born, my husband and I made the decision to become more eco-conscious and to also try more natural products. Cloth diapering, essential oils and homemade detergents became a part of our lives and we felt great about reducing our carbon footprint. Two years later, my second son Liam was born and this began a time of even bigger change for our family. Liam was a preemie, born 5 weeks early, and while in the NICU we began to see just how sensitive he was (and still is) to his entire environment. The diaper creams, soaps, vitamin supplements added to breast milk, and disposable diapers all caused reactions both inside and outside of his body. From the moment we brought him home, experiments began with baby products to find the ones that were perfect for his sensitive skin.

Liam has very dry skin, which cannot be moisturized with just any baby lotion. The wrong ingredients not only dry out the skin even more, but cause him to break out, become uncomfortable, fussy, and itchy. He also has eczema, another easily irritated skin condition that still flares up often and caused him to itch even more. We realized immediately that our safest bet was natural baby products, so I was very excited to learn more about Baby Mantra!

Baby Mantra is a wonderful certified natural, cruelty-free, gluten-free baby skincare line created by two sisters. Their mission is to provide baby products with safe, environmentally conscious ingredients and packaging! All products are made here in the U.S. and are inspired by all-natural remedies with essential oils.

We received a package of Baby Mantra products to try, including these:

Detangling Conditioner, Calming Lotion, 3-in-1 Bubble Bath, Shampoo +Wash, and Newborn Shampoo + Body Wash. 

All of the products contain soothing and moisturizing natural ingredients along with essential oils, so they not only smell amazing, but also keep the skin baby soft! The boys were so excited to see bubble bath and made sure we tried it that night. As soon as I opened up the bottle, I could smell the lavender, one of my favorite scents that is also known for its calming properties and perfect for babies/children before bedtime. Just putting a bit in the water produced plenty of bath time fun for the kiddos and they also loved the scent.

I love that the 3-in-1 bubble bath, shampoo + wash has multiple purposes! I can wash my babies from head to toe, get them squeaky clean, and smelling yummy. Both of my boys also have dry scalp issues and Josiah's red hair is prone to tangles, so I was happy to see the detangling conditioner. It contains coconut and lavender oil, instantly making Josiah's hair feel silky smooth while not drying the scalp as other products can and have.

After bath time is when the calming lotion comes in and is the perfect touch for keeping skin soft. The shea butter moisturizes along with the lavender oil, which also calms baby for bedtime. This also makes for a great massage lotion, further soothing baby fast asleep.

My silly boys love bubbles!

We have thoroughly enjoyed trying Baby Mantra products and they have been perfect for Liam's sensitive skin. We will definitely continue using them, especially when baby #3 comes along! Are you ready to try Baby Mantra? Their products are available at select Walgreens/Duane Reade stores, Walgreens.com, BabiesRUs.com, and Amazon.com.

Getting Rid Of Unsightly Moles For Good!

When growing up, I noticed my dad had very sensitive skin and freckles all over him. My mom, on the other hand, had no freckles, but had many, many moles on her skin. What are moles? Chances are, if you have them, you know exactly what they are and wish you could get rid of them. I know that is exactly how I feel about them. Moles are blemishes on the skin that appear darker due to a high concentration of melanin. I noticed at a young age that although I did not have freckling of the skin, I did have moles. When I was younger, they were small and not at all bothersome, but now that I am older, some have grown, raised up on my skin and darkened. There is one on my arm that is most unsightly and, to my dismay, even has hair that grows out of it! It is embarrassing and I wish I could do something about it.

I've heard of ways to get moles removed at a dermatologist and all include painful mole removal methods I would rather not subject myself to, such as laser therapy and going under the knife. No thanks! Luckily, I found a much better alternative that I can use at home. As someone who uses mostly all-natural products, I was so excited to find H-Moles because it is an all-natural mole removal product. It does not cause pain and also does not leave scarring of the skin where the mole once was. Plus, you can begin to see results in as soon as 2 weeks. The mole will appear smaller and smaller until it disappears like magic. 

I love having a natural way to get rid of moles that does not cause pain or scarring. My mom actually had a mole removed at the dermatologist last year and has a huge scar on her skin, which looks worse than the mole! That defeats the entire purpose. Next week we are going to the beach and I will be in a swimsuit for the first time this year. I am usually a bit embarrassed by my moles, but now I honestly don't have to be. By the time summer rolls around and we go back to the beach, I can be confident and show off my body. 

Do you have moles, too? 

I know genetics plays a role, but we don't have to suffer from these unsightly blemishes or go through pain just to remove them. Isn't that nice to know?
