It only takes two minutes for him to put it on... but four days to get it off his skin, from his nose, and out of his hair.
Arlo Ifeanyi-Armstrong, four, smeared himself in an entire tub of nappy cream when mum Holly’s back was turned.
Holly, 32, of Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset, said: “It was in his hair, up his nose and all over his face.
"He was completely unfazed by it all and just carried on as normal.”
The mum was left-red faced after discovering her son had smothered himself in the full tub in the space of two minutes.

Mum-of-three Holly had left Arlo under the supervision of big sister Ava, nine, while she unpacked boxes as the family had just moved into a new home.
But just a couple of minutes later, Holly was mortified when an 'unfazed' Arlo strolled through the kitchen covered head to toe in a full tub of nappy cream.
She said: "We'd basically just moved into the house, put the boxes down and started debating what to have for dinner when Arlo walked in covered head to toe in cream.
"I'd left him and his sister up to their own devices just for a few minutes and she never thought to tell him not to do it.

"I didn't even realise that I'd left anything like that lying around.
"He has really thick, curly hair so it was really hard to get out and made it go all stiff.
"It took days to get it out and it was stained for ages."
Although the learning assistant found the incident extremely amusing, Holly spent four days trying to get rid of the cream which had stained Arlo's skin and hair.
Holly posted the photo on social media to share the hilarious incident with family and friends.
She said: "People were going crazy for it. People were messaging me saying that it's the best photo they've ever seen.
"People think it's amazing.
"Lots of people said their kid has done it as well but some kids have done it with just a bit of cream where Arlo used the entire tub."
