Here at BD, we all have one thing in common – our love for our families. That is why this month we sought to find the best Family Friendly Products on the market and put them to the test.

I suffer from sensitive skin, so anytime I feel my face needs a little TLC, I use Cicaplast before applying my make-up and love that the formula is white mark free!

Editors Pick: Classic Carmex Jar – Shannah
What it is: The cult classic Carmex jar is an icon. Made with camphor and menthol, in a soothing base of cocoa butter and waxes, it goes to work turning ravaged lips into very kissable ones, very fast!

Ultra gentle, it is suitable for all skin types, making it the perfect product for the whole family to use. Formulated with Sustainable Shea Butter, Tahitian Coconut Milk Oil and Vitamin E, it leaves you with soft and moisturised skin. As a added plus it also is a vegan formula.
Editors Pick: Du'It - Tough Body – Lucy
What it is: This nourishing body lotion and best body moisturiser is a non-greasy formula that’s supercharged with a potent combination of moisturising, antioxidant and brightening actives, perfect for dry and sensitive skin.
My Experience: Du'It have done it again! Having tried the lip balm and hand cream I've already been so impressed with the brand. Lo and behold they did not disappoint. In the winter my skin gets very itchy from the dryness and flakes off. I've tried different body butters and lotions but whilst they soothe my skin temporarily, it still goes back to dry texture. The scent for the Tough Body is inoffensive, and doesnt stay on the skin so you dont even know you have it on!. Overall so good.
Editors Pick: Bioderma Cleansing Oil – Scarlette
What it is: Imagine a luxurious oil that effortlessly melts away even waterproof makeup, leaving your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and oh-so-soft. This is no ordinary cleanser, it's the Bioderma Cleansing Oil.
My Experience: Bioderma Cleansing Oil really takes the day off. I find it melts away every last bit of make-up on my face with just the tiniest amount. It's a non-foaming cleanser due to it being oil based, and I find it way more moisturising than your standard foaming cleanser. It can also be used as a body wash too, leaving my skin feeling clean, smooth and soft.
