∙ 12y agoAll I can say is from personal experience and history of mothers I helped with their children for the past 39 years of my life we all used baby lotion on our infants and never had any problems with it. But do use baby lotion spacificaly and not just any lotion. I have yet to run into any one who has had a problem with it.
Ingredients have changed a lot in the past 39 years. If you are worried, try a natural baby lotion. Read labels and know your ingredients. You can make your own baby lotion too. Here is a good one:
Heavenly Blend- 6 oz jar or bottle
1 ounce Grape seed oil
1 ounce Apricot Kernel Oil
3 tablespoons vegetable emulsifying wax
1 drop or a pinch of rosemary extract OR vitamin E oil (if you have it)
6 ounces aloe vera
1 chamomile tea bag
Simmer tea in aloe vera for about 15 minutes. Melt wax in oil on med/low in a separate pot. Ring out tea bag and add aloe to a glass or stainless steel mixing bowl. Once all wax is melted into oil and not a second longer, take oil off of heat. Slowly start mixing aloe as you pour in oil. Be careful not to burn yourself. Mix on medium for 2 minutes. Stir and mix off and on for an hour or so until the mixture has thickened and is no longer hot. Stir out bubbles. Add to a clean container. Safe, easy, mild and completely non toxic. Ingredients are easy to find and inexpensive. :)

How long should you wait to go tanning if you have a sunburn?
Tanning with a sunburn is not a good idea because your skin needs time to heal itself. If you tan with a sunburn you could cause more damage to your skin and make the sunburn worse. Most likely resulting in skin peeling, increased chance of wrinkling and cancer. The best thing to do is wait for your sunburn to heal and make sure that you use the proper tanning lotions while tanning. Indoor tanning and outdoor tanning require different types of lotions and expose you to different types of UV light.
