Summer Beauty: MD Moms

By

The following giveaway is open to US and CAN residents.

Take one of the most sought-after baby brands and give the products the ability to do double-duty beauty for moms, and you’ve got MD Moms.

MD Moms baby silk frequently tops my list of must-have products. The line, created by board-certified pediatricians and moms Dr. Diane Truong and Dr. JJ Levenstein, are the first pediatrician-developed personal care line for babies. And after spending a quarter of a century caring for children and advising thousands of new parents, they’ve truly created your baby’s prescription for healthy skin.

Why I trust the products:

Developed with pure, effective advanced ingredients
Gentle enough for sensitive skin but highly effective
Protect from environmental damage
Provide critical maintenance of skin’s natural moisture barrier
Promote bonding between parent & baby

Why I love the products:

Packaging & products are thoughtfully developed
Modern aesthetics & smart design
Specially formulated so small doses provide big results
Tried and true delicate scalp rub and daily UV shield

But here’s the twist: every product in the baby silk line has a double duty beauty component. For example, did you know:

baby silk gentle all over clean hair and body wash: Great as a mild facial cleanser for mom or dad!

baby silk gentle scalp rub exfoliating cleanser for cradle cap: No time for a manicure? Massage the scalp rub into your cuticles at the start of baby’s bath and voila! Smooth, clean cuticles in a “pinch”.

baby silk gentle all over clean cleansing towelettes: Excellent as a mild, soothing makeup remover. A perfect way to sooth post-sun skin and remove stubborn sunscreen when a shower or bath is not available.

Visit MD Moms to check out the double duty beauty advantage of all their baby silk products.

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to review the entire line of MD Moms products (read my posts on MD Moms: Miracle Cream? and MD Moms: The Cradle Cap Solution.) While the products are of the highest quality and perfectly suited to all infants, I must admit that I steal them for my own personal use more often than not.

I double duty the cleansing towelletes to remove traces of makeup, and give Ryder’s mouth and hands a good swipe when we’re on the go. (Please don’t laugh, but I can’t bear to use them on his bum. With their deliciously delicate scent and soft, touch-me texture, I’d rather use them on my cheeks than his!)

And, the diaper rash cream is an awesome all-purpose balm for chapped, cracked or chafed skin. I’ve tried it on dry patches in winter and heat rash during summer months, and it performs as well (and even better!) than other products specifically designed for those purposes.

But I suppose one of my favourite ways to double duty beauty is with the daily UV shield; I love mixing it with a little tinted moisturizer to get the best protection for both my face and body. The formulation contains NO fragrance, parabens, phthalates, lanolin, petroleum or waxes, and is made from a pure physical, not chemical, sunscreen using Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

All in all, a spaaah! experience for both mommy and babe!


MD Moms products can be purchased online and at authorized baby silk retailers across North America.
