Using Huggies Baby Wipes as Face Wipes

By Sudhaa Gopinath @sudhaag17
It feels good to a post after such a long time and it is a good time to start posting again when you have to think hard to remember your blog name :)
Okay we all know what baby wipes are used for and we also...well at least most of us believe that baby products are the most safest product...well it is supposed to be that way. But lately after hearing the news about the J&J approval for making baby products have been cancelled it made me think twice about using their products. Anyway here is another purpose for baby wipes.......face wipes. As i mentioned above, it is one of the reason to use baby wipes as Face Wipes. As a result of over buying of this particular product, i have loads of them at home and was looking for ways to use them up. The first baby wipes i used  on my face was J&J's and it stung. I was put off by this and i didn't want to use it even on my baby's butt. So off with J&J, i tried Huggies and it is a sure winner.
It is like how baby wipes are supposed to be - Soft, thick, gentle on the skin and no irritating smell or allergic reactions on the skins. There is nothing fancy about the product but has complete utility value. It does a good job and that is sufficient for me. The pic above shows a pack of 80 wipes which is huge, but for traveling purpose there are smaller packs -like 10's or 20's. So convenient too!! Okay, the next bit might be/is a reason why I'm thinking of not using it.
Now, what is 'Methyl Paraben' doing in a baby product???!!! I think we are getting enough of other forms of Parabens in our makeup products. There are some who detest Parabens and those people are not gonna go for this one.
Pros: Affordable. Soft and gentle on the skin No fragrance. No allergic reactions. Cons: Contains Methyl Paraben.
Since this one has Paraben in it I'm looking at Himalaya Baby wipes now. Will let you know how it goes. :) The topic of 'Paraben' is quite not clear to me, so any comments on this are welcome and would serve as information to others as well.
