It may not have grabbed your attention (particularly if you don't happen to have any babies lying around), but Johnson's Baby Top-to-Toe wash has been a must-have in my bathroom for quite a while now. Not just a baby wash, I use this for a number of different things:

  • as a body wash in the shower: this foams up nicely, has a lovely light, fresh fragrance and the soap-free formula is very gentle on sensitive skin
  • as a foaming face wash: when I just need a gentle wash-off cleanser, I use this either over the sink or in the shower. It doesn't dry my skin out and the fragrance is so light that I don't have to worry about getting a mouthful of perfumed suds (yes, this has happened to me on many an occasion with overly-perfumed products and it is NOT pleasant!)
  • as a hand wash: the pump top makes this ideal to use as a handwash, and no need to scrub soap scum off the sink afterwards
  • as a brush cleanser: I always use this to wash my makeup brushes - I run them under warm water, then add a drop of baby wash to the palm of my hand and lather up the bristles of the brush with it. It rinses out easily and leaves all my brushes clean, soft and residue-free
  • to wash out makeup sponges: I mainly use a sponge wedge to blend foundation and it only takes a minute to wash the sponge with a drop of baby wash after use so that it's clean and ready to be used again the following day
  • for travel: particularly when traveling with only hand luggage, taking one small bottle of baby wash (I decant it from the original bottle into a small one from Muji) means I don't need separate shower gel, face wash and soap
