Transcript excerpt
Hi guys, today I'm giving my completely honest review on the Cussons Baby Oil. Now we all love that classy baby scent, but let's talk about what this actually does to adult skin because it might be causing some issues. This oil is primarily formulated with mineral oil and added fragrance which lock in moisture for babies. It is very lightweight and slippery, but the problem is how it reacts to adult skin, especially in hot weathers. My biggest complaint about this oil is that mineral side right on top of your skin. If you are prone to acne, this might easily cause breakout and tiny bumps because it traps sweat and bacteria. So if you're a light-skinned girlie and you're looking for an oil meant to, you know, glow up your skin, I don't think you should go for this oil because I had a very bad experience using it as a light-skinned girl. I think it will make your skin darker rather than maintaining its complexion, do you get? Because of the fragrance. So I don't know if it's good for babies, but for light-skinned girlies and if your skin is very sensitive, please don't go for this oil. Don't go for this oil because of the fragrance. So now, as a light-skinned girlie and your skin is very sensitive, stay away from this Cussons Baby Oil because it will leave your skin feeling greasy and sweaty instead of the actual hydrated. You can actually use it on your extremely dry areas like your knees, your elbow, but girl, avoid using it on your face because you might not like your experience because of the fragrance. It will trigger rashes on your face, it is not nice, and also make your skin darker. I just give this a 2.5 out of 5 stars because of the fragrance, it's not really nice for sensitive skin.
