'Why would I lie?': Sarah Langa defends her baby bum cream skincare hack
Sarah Langa swears she uses baby bum cream as part of her skincare routine. Image: Instagram / sarahlanga South African content creator Sarah Langa recently let her followers in on one of her top skincare hacks, but not everyone is buying it. During a Q&A on her social media, Langa revealed that she uses Bepanthen cream as a night mask to hydrate her face because of her extremely dry skin. But instead of applause, she was met with a wave of disbelief. After dropping her skincare secret, her DMs started flooding with messages from people accusing her of hiding the real truth. 'Do you think I would lie if I was using Chanel skincare? If I had some secret potion from like a fancy brand, would I not want to tell you?' she says in her TikTok clip. 'I'm not lying to you. I'm telling you the truth. I'm using baby bum cream on my face. Why would I lie about something like that?' she continues. Video Player is loading.

Despite the scepticism, it turns out she isn't the only one slathering the baby product on her face. Judging by the comments on her video, plenty of people are already in on the baby cream beauty hack. 'I've been using Bepanthen on my face and lips for over 3 years, sana it does wonders for a smooth skin barrier,' one follower shared. Another added: 'I've been using Bepanthen on my lips and face, even as a hand cream for the past 8 years or so now! It's honestly the best!' The conversation even turned to the idea that good skin doesn't have to come with a luxury price tag. 'I don't understand what makes people think that using expensive products is the only solution for perfect skin. Guys, I've been using Vaseline on my face my entire life. I legit don't have a skin care routine,' one person commented. The cream, originally formulated as a baby bum cream, has been used for a wide range of skincare needs. It's a go-to for healing fresh tattoos, soothing small cuts or scrapes, and calming mild burns, all thanks to its ability to lock in moisture and protect the skin. So while Langa's tip might have caught some off guard, it turns out that baby cream as skincare isn't so far-fetched after all. Sometimes, the simplest products really do deliver.

Adrian Barich: today we celebrate mothers, the people who care for us, defend us and are our biggest fans
OK, it's time to celebrate everyone's first groupie. The person who, ever since she laid eyes on you, has been your biggest fan. We may not acknowledge it enough or in some cases even believe it, but before the world even knew your name, your mum was front row. My mum Dawn was my greatest defender and though she was petite and very ladylike, God help anyone who slighted her son. Even when one of my coaches questioned my performance for the Eagles, in a glass-half-full moment, Mum replied, 'well, at least Adrian got some fresh air and exercise today'. I'm sure most mums are the same; keeping scrapbooks of the times you've appeared in the paper or been mentioned somewhere, even hoarding drawings from when you were a kid. Maybe your mum even kept that wonky clay ashtray you made during pottery class (imagine kids doing that these days — no chance). Jodie is the same with our son Tom. As soon as he decided to do a bit of FIFO work she googled, 'Are you a first time FIFO worker? Here's what to pack' and proceeded to buy everything on the very long list below. 'Adrian, can you go to Bunnings and buy a flash-ish tape measure?' Off I went, a bit unsure as to what a 'not too flash' tape measure looked like. 'Oh, and antihistamine tablets, some thick work socks (bamboo is highly recommended) and tinea cream, Bepanthen for chaffing, those exfoliating glove things to get the red dust off. And maybe some aluminium foil to cover the windows.' Good grief. She's just as bad (or good) with our daughter Madi. That's why, whatever is going on, as far as possible, within reason, never hurt your mum in any way. As someone unknown once wrote, 'Your mother is the one who loved you before you even existed. She carried you for months, nurtured you when you couldn't even ask, and gave you a love so pure that nothing in this world could compare. Through every sleepless night, every sacrifice, and every challenge, her love for you never wavered. Never take that love for granted, and never cause harm to the person who gave you life and endless care. Show your mother the respect, gratitude and love she deserves every single day, because no one else in this world will love you the way she does. Love your mother with all your heart.' One of the world's best footballers, Cristiano Ronaldo, admitted he once made his mother cry and the next morning she made him breakfast and prayed for him. It was then he realised what true love is. So on Mother's Day, let's not forget that mothers need to be mothered too. For many mums, the tradition was to get married early, have kids and look after the home, in what was believed to be the perfect life. But really, it could also be a time for anxiety and maybe even isolation. And it was taboo to complain or even utter the the words 'motherhood is tough'. It was all focused on keeping up appearances, burying your true feelings and ploughing on, smiling where possible. The truth is that a lot of motherhood is about sacrifice and neglect: putting aside your own dreams, goals and interests or, at best, putting them last. This is what we should think about on Sunday. One day of acknowledgement doesn't seem like enough, does it? I'm not sure, but maybe what mums truly want is gratitude. Let her know that you understand just how much she loves you. And another thing they definitely value is their children getting on well together, so all their hard work in trying to maintain a happy family unit hasn't been for nothing. So, as for a gift on Mother's Day, how about someone empties the dishwasher without being asked? Give her a chance to finish her tea or coffee without it going cold and maybe gift her a whole day where she doesn't have to make decisions. And most of all, a hug that says 'you're doing so much; I see it, and you're amazing'.

Celebrities love these beauty products (and they're all under £10)
We all love a bargain, whether it's for our gardens, wardrobes or makeup bags, and it seems even celebrities aren't immune. Last week, Catherine Bailey, former model and wife of photographer David Bailey, revealed her penchant for slathering £3.50 Bepanthen nappy ointment on her face when it's really dry. Joanna Lumley, on our screens again in Amandaland, has often extolled the virtues of Astral face cream (£4), telling the Sunday Times, 'it's cheap as chips, has never been tested on animals and is the only thing I've never developed an allergy to.' Singer Kylie Minogue is a fan of another low-cost potion: Ponds Cold Cream which retails for anything from £3.50-£11. Celebrity makeup artist Caroline Barnes says she has seen huge growth in the performance – and popularity – of low price skincare in recent years. 'Low-cost skincare and makeup has dramatically improved in the last five years or so,' she says. 'The pigments used are far superior now, the colours are better and it wears well throughout the day.' Indeed advances in technology combined with increased competition in the marketplace means it's easier than ever to find an impressive product in the bargain aisles of Superdrug and Boots. Here are some celebrity favourites worth considering for your bathroom cabinet. Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream, £7.95 Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson are among the celebrity fans of this eye cream - which includes caffeine, a natural anti-oxidant which may help reduce puffiness and dark circles. Witherspoon's makeup artist can be frequently found on Instagram explaining how she also uses it under the eyes to prevent concealer from creasing. A great new find. Find it at Sephora NYX Professional Makeup 'Worth the Hype' Waterproof Mascara, £9.50 Holly Willoughby' s makeup artist Patsy O' Neill calls Worth The Hype, 'An ideal mascara for short lashes in need of added length and volume. 'The brush coats even the smallest lash hairs,' she explains, 'without feeling heavy or clumping together. At this price it's definitely worth a try.' While you're looking at the brand, also check out the NYX Professional Buttermelt Blush, £8.99, from Boots a stalwart of many makeup artists' kits. The product texture is standout, a soft, buttery powder available in many pretty colours and it behaves like a really expensive product. Caroline Barnes often uses this on Kylie Minogue. Find it at Boots Weleda Skin Food, £9.50 Celebrity fans of this rich, balmy cream include Adele, Hailey Bieber and Victoria Beckham who posted a photograph of herself on Instagram using it as an inflight mask to keep her skin hydrated and moisturised. This brand has been growing organic plants for over a century and is synonymous with thoughtful and sustainable products. I love the calendula and chamomile fragrance of this balm and always have a tube in my bathroom cabinet. It's also great on elbows or dry, cracked heels. Aveeno Daily Moisturising Body Lotion, £9 This hardworking product has a plethora of high profile fans including Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston who has said she thinks she's been using this body moisturiser since she was 15 years old. Very good for sensitive skins, this unscented body lotion is moisturising and blended with calming oatmeal. Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Rose, £6.49, Margot Robbie told British Vogue that she is relatively low-maintenance when 'off-duty' and likes to use this inexpensive Burt's Bees lip balm made from beeswax, coconut oil and shea butter in Rose colour which gives lips a pretty, natural rosy glow. L'Oreal Paris Lumi Le Glass Highlighter Stick, £8.60, Actress Elle Fanning's makeup artist said she used this highlighter on the actress at this year's Golden Globes. A good makeup bag staple for touch-ups throughout the day, the colour isn't at all frosty and the texture feels expensive. Use it on the high part of the cheekbones, on the bridge of the nose or on the cupid's bow. Weleda Citrus Hand and Nail Cream, £9.98 Helen Mirren told British Vogue she always has a little tube of this hand cream in her 'swagger' bag - the name she gives her makeup bag. Mirren says she loves the uplifting lemony scent of this rich emollient which instantly sinks into parched, dry hands. Perfect at this time of year. Pond's Moisturising Cold Cream, £6.99 Celebrity fans of this moisturiser include Kylie and Dolly Parton who says she always goes back to this it even though she has lots of more expensive ones. It's a blend of mineral oil and water and has a really creamy texture and it can also be used as a makeup remover.
