Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion Review
A few weeks ago I was invited to The Aveeno Winter Skin Lunch in the new venue House on Leeson Street. The venue was beautiful, the company was fabulous, a mix of editors, bloggers, stylists and our favorite Irish TV personalities, the food and drink was delicious and best of all the products were amazing!
The event was hosted by Elaine from Aveeno and Triona Mc Carthy, yes her off the telly with the red lips and hilarious beauty terminology, ya gotta love her! Both beauty guru’s shared some great tips for keeping your skin sexy in the winter months and we got lots of great Aveeno products to try... so... now that I’ve been using them for a few weeks I’m goin to start with a review a week and let you know what I think and which ones I’ll be recommending and purchasing in the future.
First up is Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion. Now I love body moisturisers. I love the smell. I love the silky feel. I’m addicted to buying them but not so addicted to using them. I have these great intentions that are foiled by the fact that it is virtually impossible to get dressed less than 20 minutes after applying them unless you enjoy getting your jeans stuck at your knees and waddling around like a penguin doing the charleston trying to pull them up the rest of the way, usually without much success or getting zebra stripe cream marks all over your tops and dresses. Well I enjoy neither. And i definitely don’t enjoy pacing the room in my undies and flapping around like some demented pigeon in a pointless effort to dry quicker. Its just inconvenient and a hassle neither of which I can be bothered with. This is where Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion comes in.
I have seen it plenty of times before but never tried it, its formulated for dry and sensitive skin and therefore is fragrance free and you see i love a good smelling body lotion. This lotion has many redeeming qualities though and number one is the fact that it absorbs into the skin so quickly that you can get dressed practically immediately after applying it. This for me overrides the fact that there is no fragrance and it means that I can and actually have used it daily for the last two weeks! Not having a fragrance in your body lotion does have its benefits, Triona dispelled some of her knowledge on us and apparently moisturised skin holds fragrance for longer. So, applying Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion before your favorite perfume means you smell delicious all day long! Beautiful skin and a beautiful fragrance, you can’t go wrong!
It leaves your skin with that beautiful healthy silky satin feel. My legs love it! Its getting to the time of year now that our legs get a little neglected. The powers that be may be proposing that we ditch the tights and bare our legs this A/W but with our beautiful Irish weather we’ll just have to see how long that lasts... If you are daring to bare this season Aveenos Daily Moisturising Lotion is perfect for straight after you shave your legs. It absorbs quickly replacing the moisture in your skin and eases any itchy or burning sensation you might be left with. I for one always suffer with an incessant itching on my legs after shaving that persists and tortures me for several hours, this lotion is the first one to immediately ease and illiminate this horrible sensation and that to me means its worth its weight in gold and just shows how well it really works.
Even if your not daring to bare your legs this winter and are reaching for the tights as I type you will love the benefits of this lotion. Tights and tight fitting bottoms like leggings can help to seriously dehydrate your skin. They over heat the top layer of the dermis causing it to loose moisture, dehydrate and flake off. We have all experienced that leg snow when we take off our tights at the end of the day and a shower of dead skin is no winter wonderland... Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion moisturises and hydrates for 24 hours so using it every day will prevent your skin from dehydrating and put an end to snow like showers of dead skin in the evenings.
So there you have it, review number one and its a huge thumbs up. I will definitely be buying this again and recommend that you give it a go. If you shop around your local pharmacy’s you’ll be sure to find the Aveeno range at special offer prices somewhere. A little goes a long way, I’ve been using it daily for over 2 weeks and theres still at least half of the bottle left so you should definitely get at least a month to six weeks out of it.
Have any of you used this product? What do you think?
