We have varied hues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-863651 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:00:40 +0000 sarac 863651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to make my own lotion with shea butter, coconut oil, and a little essential oil. I just blend that up until it is super fluffy - and it makes a very heavy lotion. It would be great for ashy skin, and you can change the smell however you like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-863633 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:45:23 +0000 blackbird 863633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this! No personal experience on it with mixed skin though. It's very moisturizing. I like the milk and honey scent and the mango mint one</p> <p><a href="http://www.cjsuniqueboutique.com/CJs-BUTTer_c_53.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cjsuniqueboutique.com/CJs-BUTTer_c_53.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-863623 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:40:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 863623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I love that stuff! It's pretty spendy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-863621 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:39:51 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 863621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I worry because I can do it morning and night, but have to rely on someone else to do it during the day.</p> <p>I do like L'occitane Shea butter, but it's really expensive. Maybe I'll try cocoa butter before jumping to Shea.</p> <p>I bought her a really nice hair cream which I'll review if I like it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-863322 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:49:44 +0000 katsupgirl 863322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd try some cocoa butter. I don't like the smell personally but it is effective. Numerous lotionings may just be the norm though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-863310 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:45:08 +0000 MsLipGloss 863310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Almond Oil? L'Occitane's Almond Supple Skin Oil is fabulous . . . I like it better than some of their shea butter products! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-863298 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:41:42 +0000 daniellemybelle 863298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is AA and he is addicted to Jergens Cocoa Butter lotion. He keeps a little tube of it in the car :) Unfortunately if her skin is prone to being ashy, you may just have to lotion her up throughout the day, even if you are using a good moisturizer at home (which it sounds like you are!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-863052 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:33:50 +0000 banana 863052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my close friends is mixed race and she mentioned to me once that she used Jergen's Cocoa Butter religiously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-862828 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:41:52 +0000 bunnylove08 862828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>have you tried the unscented shea butter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-862820 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:40:25 +0000 MamaMoose 862820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: What about a little vaseline at bed time? I get really dry skin on my hands and that's what helps the best for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ashy-baby#post-862744 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:09:53 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 862744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My littlest is mixed race and due to the hot dry weather and swimming a lot, she's becoming increasingly ashy. We already do coconut oil twice daily and that helps somewhat. It seems to me the next step is Shea Butter, which I don't really love the smell of. Does anyone have another good go to for my ashy little baby? I want her skin to be cocoa smooth and beautiful! </p>
