Before my recent holiday I was in desperate of a new nourishing moisturiser. I can sometimes find it super hard to find a moisturiser that ticks all my boxes and is still sensitive enough for my skin (possibly the most upsetting thing about being a red head!!)
Most moisturisers I've used before have either been super duper greasy (think horrible oily skin aftermath) or not nourishing enough. My body is pretty neglected moisturising wise because I'm so forgetful, I just put on clothes and I'm like woops can't do it now! My legs, especially in winter, crack and go extremely dry so I have to muster the determination to moisturise. And that should hopefully now be easier as I have found the fabbiest cream ever!!
I first discovered Aveeno after I acquired a sample from The Clothes Show live (an annual event held in Birmingham). Although I knew this was a well known brand I had never tried any of their products. The sample I had was for the skin relief Shea Butter moisturising lotion with naturally active Triple Oat Complex for extra dry irratable and sensitive skin (phew!!) as pictured above although here in it's full sized 300ml bottle. After trying the sample I fell in love and stocked up just in time for my holiday.
The creme is a fairly thick formula which when applied directly too skin sits a little like suncream. Although it's heavy and reminiscent of suncream BEFORE it's rubbed it, once it's correctly applied and rubbed into skin, it's a light creme which is intensely nourishing. It takes a large pea sized amount to cover a fairly good area e.g top half of a thigh. Once applied it soaks in quickly enough to not have yourself walking round your bedroom like a scarecrow, a plus for all creme I must admit, but it does still sit firmly on your skin. It isn't the quickest to dry that I've tried but it's worth the wait as it keeps your skin feeling so intently moisturised, with that just sank in feeling lasting up to 9 hours after application! For me anyway. This may mean you'd want to wait five or so minutes after applying before sitting down anywhere, which I know can be so infuriating, but trust me it's worth the wait!
Hope you enjoyed this new kind of post, and I'm very VERY excited about some fab future ideas I have for this blog in the near future so keep those eyes peeling.
Thanks!
