Using holistic skincare on our kids every day is something we didn’t expect to love, but do. Here’s a glimpse into a day in the life of how we use Honeybee Hippie products on our toddler and baby:
Wake up
In the mornings we change our baby’s diaper and during the change we love to use Miracle Mud. It’s a tallow-based balm that features bentonite clay which will draw out rashes and impurities from the skin and is infused with organic herbs that work to protect and heal. Using this every day allows us to protect and nourish her delicate skin.
Getting ready
Our son is a little beach grom who always has wild hair, and a lot of it. Getting a brush through it in the morning is always a task. For years we have used Rose Hydrosol as a gentle spray detangler. It not only wets his hair to help it become easier to brush through, the rosewater also has properties that are very soothing to the head and scalp. Plus, it smells amazing for me and for him.
After we get a brush through his hair, we actually love to scrunch in a little Sacred Shine Hair oil. Even though his hair will inevitably get wild and free again after a day of play, the hair oil is infused with organic rosemary and mint leaves which is incredible for his scalp to stay balanced and his hair to stay soft and glowing.
As a little touch of independence for our son while we do our morning routine, we love to let him use his own Vanilla Chamomile tallow lip butter on his lips. It’s kids safe and nourishing and teaches him amazing self-care life skills!
Midday / Post - sun and beach
After a day in the sun and salt at the beach or pool, we love to give ourselves and the kids a good shower before a big nap. That shower always leaves our skin feeling a little dry from the sun so the product we grab every time is our California Sunshine tallow body oil. The best part for us is that it’s so nourishing and gentle that we use it on both of our faces, our whole bodies, and all over the kids' sunkissed faces, bodies, and diaper areas too. We don’t have to think twice about grabbing different products and just get to smother the whole family- so that’s a win for us.
Bedtime
A bedtime routine is such a special part of the day for us to intentionally wind down with our babies and our favorite thing to do for our kids is a little body massage with Natural Nectar tallow butter. The vitamins from the herbs and tallow seep into their skin and we are able to hydrate little knees, necks, faces, and hands.
Finally, to promote sleep and relaxation we rub Magnesium Butter on their legs and feet. If you buy one product to use on your kids, we would recommend this one! It is a tallow based magnesium body oil that delivers magnesium chloride into the bloodstream to promote relaxation, more restful sleep, and replenishes magnesium stores which are vital to body function. This product is the absolute hack to getting an amazing night of sleep out of them and we are always thanking the powers of magnesium for us getting the rest we need to keep parenting!
