Protect your skin from aging with cream for babies’ bottoms

A cream, intended to soothe nappy rash, has become a hit face cream for women in Britain.

U.K. supermarket chain Waitrose launched the Baby Bottom Butter in 2005, designed to allay irritation of the skin on baby bottoms. Now it’s selling like hotcakes as more women experience the true value of the cream -- not only protecting babies’ bottoms, but also their skin from aging, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

Priced at just 2 pounds 54 pence ($4), the cream outsells other skin products at the supermarket and is reported to be much better than one of the most expensive face creams -- Crème de la Mer, which cost as much as 286 pounds for 60ml. 

“It makes my foundation look super dewy and youthful too. It is so much better than all the expensive face cream I have tried – including Crème de la Mer,” wrote a customer on mumsnet.com.

Another user left a comment on the same website, saying “I can’t even remember what made me put it on my face one day but OMG -- it is fab.”
