A Family Favourite: Aveeno

As a beauty blogger I’m privy to many products from many different brands. But there’s one brand that my family (my husband, parents, brother, grandmother, aunts, cousins etc.) always ask me about consistently. That brand is AVEENO.

This tried and true brand has been around for as long as I can remember…in fact…it’s been around for 70 years! A brand with this longevity is no doubt a favourite for other families too. I’m personally a huge fan of all their body and skin lotions. They just work really, really well. I have a bottle on hand all the time:

• Bathroom: to moisturize after stepping out of the shower;
• Bedroom: I always make sure to put lotion on my hands right before going to bed;
• Kitchen: moisturizing after doing the dishes or washing hands is very important;
• Purse: so I’ll never be caught with dry cracked hands.

Another reason I love the brand is that they value things that are important to me. Let me explain…

At the end of last year, my aunt celebrated a life milestone – retirement! A party was held of course, and when my family was trying to think of what to give as party gifts, Aveeno products were the top choice! If you’ve ever planned a party before you’ll be able to attest to the fact that the guest list tends to grow and grow; finding the same types of Aveeno products for that amount of people was proving to be a challenge. Being an Aveeno Ambassador for Toronto Beauty Reviews, I reached out to my friends at Aveeno and they graciously offered to help by providing Aveeno gift packs for everyone!

I was very thankful and my aunt was so happy at the thought that was put into her celebration. Besides absolutely loving the products, I can honestly say I love that Aveeno is a brand that stands behind the importance of family and were willing to help me out in a pinch; they understood what a special moment it was for my aunt and family.

This experience added to the reasons why I was extremely excited to hear about their latest body care product – the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion Sheer Hydration which is SURE to be another favourite. My husband and I already love it and can’t wait to share it with friends and family.

Like all the other fabulous Aveeno products, the Sheer Hydration lotion contains ACTIVE NATURALS Colloidal Oatmeal which nurtures and replenishes the skin’s moisture barrier. It helps prevent moisture loss which is so important in our dry weather, and also when air conditioning is blasting during warmer days. What’s different about the Sheer Hydration Lotion isn’t the ingredients but the formulation. One use and you’ll see just how different this lotion is – it goes on smoothly, absorbs instantly and there is absolutely NO residue or greasy feeling right afterwards; yet your skin feels like there’s a velvety protective barrier all around it. Most importantly your skin will feel healthy soft all day long.

This product is already available in stores and comes in 354 mL and 532 mL sizes. If you’re an Aveeno fan too you’re sure to love this product as much as I do. If you do get a chance to pick it up I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
