"Oatmeal baths have long been recommended for people with dry and sensitive skin conditions, providing a soothing effect while improving the skins protective barrier"
So yes, lets talk a little more about both Aveeno and oats in general shall we? The brand we know (and love) as Aveeno began way back in 1945 and the first product to launch was the Aveeno Soothing Bath Product, it included the ingredient colloidal (very finely milled) oatmeal and paved the way for future launches; to this day every Aveeno product contains oats in some form. One such could be, the oat essence- Avenanthramides - essentially, tiny chemical compounds isolated directly from oats. This is done through a careful extraction process and has the most anti-irritant properties of all oat extracts; some Aveeno products also contain oat oil, which again is a separate component, that is produced from oats through an environmentally friendly extraction process - the more you know huh? I spent the morning not only lapping up savoury topped bowl of oatmeal but also a fountain of knowledge in regards to oats in general thanks to Aveeno: oats are a super-food because not only can you eat them and lap up the nutrient value but topically applied to the skin, oats can help moisturise, soothe, protect and gently cleanse the skin - you can read more about Oats and of course Aveeno products directly via their dedicated website here - link. The more you know huh?
"Aveeno scientists search around the world for plants and botanicals that could potentially deliver significant benefits in skincare. These are called naturally active ingredients. Pre-clinical testing is performed on the most promising naturally active ingredients to show their activity and stability."
Long time readers will know that I am no stranger to Aveeno bath and body products and for good reason too: a, they are extremely affordable and readily available on the highstreet which is important when you live a busy lifestyle and b, I have very dry skin that can veer a little on the sensitive side, meaning I do have to be selective. Aveeno is one of the very few brands I can rely on to both deeply nourish my skin and deeply moisturise, and the good news is that a whole new collection of beautifully yet delicately scented products have just joined the Aveeno Daily Moisturising range!
Let's begin with my personal favourite shall we? Aveeno Daily Moisturising Body Yogurt - as the name suggests this is a thick yet refreshingly lightweight body moisturiser that will quickly and effectively nourish and hydrate the skin of the body instantly. On the skin it feels both cooling and luxurious and teamed with the two new fragrances: Vanilla and Oat or Apricot and Honey - how could you go wrong. For the record my personal scent preference is Apricot and Honey - sweet yet not at all sickly, for those who prefer a creamier fragrance, I urge you to try out the Vanilla and Oat scented products. One application of Aveeno Daily Moisturising Body Yogurt will deeply nourish and comfort the skin for up to 48 hours which is reassuring, if like myself you can be a tad forgetful.
To coincide with the new Aveeno Body Yogurts there is also two deliciously scented Aveeno Daily Moisturising Body Washes - again the fragrances are Vanilla and Oat or Apricot and Honey. Each body wash has been formulated with colloidal oatmeal and nutrient rich yogurt concentrate, to soothe, soften and cleanse free from irritation and dryness - perfect for even the driest of skin types, my legs are notoriously parched and I use this not only to cleanse but also as a barrier for shaving.
If time really is of the essence and yet you want to cater for your skin, your next purchase should be the Aveeno Daily Moisturising After-Shower Mist. As the name suggest this is indeed a mist on product that due to the super fine nozzle can be applied with ease to the entire body. It is non-greasy, quick to absorb and again contains all the skin loving ingredients you'd expect from any Aveeno product. This is my pick for both travel and on the go moisturisation.
Now we all have no excuse for dry skin.
What is your go-to Aveeno product and which Aveeno Daily Moisturising Body Yogurt product fragrance do you think you'll enjoy the most?
