Aveeno Review

Crowdtap and Aveeno recently sent me a couple of products to sample. I love Aveeno products and love reviewing new products so this was a win win for me. :)

My Thoughts
I have loved Aveeno products for years, One of the reasons being that I think Jennifer Aniston is just a lovely lady. She has such style and panache and handles' herself with grace. So any company classy enough to choose Jennifer for a spokeswoman peaks me interest. But Aveeno is able to maintain that interest on its own merits. The daily moisturizing sheer hydration lotion is just what it says. You can feel how sheer it is when its going on and once its on then you don't feel it on you skin at all but you can tell its there because your skin feels so soft and silky. And its odor free so you don't have to worry about it clashing with your perfume or bothering your sinuses.

My oldest daughter burns very easily so we always buy sunscreen with a high SPF. We have used Aveeno lotion sunscreen for a while now because it is SPF 30,  it doesn't bother her sensitive skin and she doesn't get burned wearing it.  She can wear it when we go to the lake and not have to worry that its washed off as soon as she gets in the water. And as a bonus, it also hydrates her skin leaving her skin soft to the touch. We all use this lotion since it works so well for her.


I'm a member of the Crowdtap Aveeno rewards program and Aveeno sent me a sample of Sheer Hydration Daily Moisturizing Lotion and Protect + Hydrate Sunscreen to review.
All opinions are my own.
