I cared for my skin with Aveeno® Active Naturals as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #Aveeno
Some of y’all thought you would make it through the winter without moisturizing daily. Then the arctic blast hit. Now your skin is dry, ashy, flaky and itchy. I’m sharing my skin moisturizing tips using Active Naturals® Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Lotion so you can avoid this situation.
Find the right lotion. All lotions aren’t created equal. Being a black woman, I can’t play around with just any lotion. Ash is a black woman’s arch nemesis. Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Lotion is formulated with Active Naturals® Colloidal Oatmeal and rich emollients, it helps prevent and protect dry skin for a full 24 hours. It’s fragrance free, nongreasy and noncomedogenic.
Stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water is crucial to having beautiful skin. I know we can be good at this in the summertime but we need to drink water all year long to take care of our skin. If you don’t drink enough water, the skin will be come dry and flaky.
Moisturize immediately. Prime time to maximize your skins moisture is right after a hot shower. The skin is hydrated and waiting for more moisture. By using Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Lotion right after the shower will aid in keeping your skin moisturized until your next shower.
Moisturize frequently. Every time you wash your hands you should apply lotion. This is similar to after the shower. After washing your hands with warm water, seal in the moisture with lotion.
Wear gloves. If I see another ashy hand in Atlanta I’m going to whip out my travel size Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Lotion. Not only will gloves not show the world your ashy knuckles, but they also protect your hands from this arctic blast we are having. We are walking around carrying bags and phones with our hands exposed in negative temps. Keep them covered!
Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Lotion is packed with Active Naturals ® Colloidal Oatmeal. The oatmeal acts as a skin protectant to help restore skin’s normal pH and aid in the maintenance of skin’s moisture barrier to prevent and protect dry skin. I recommend skipping the overpriced skin creams that may not work and try Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Lotion. It’s gentle enough for Peyton to use.
How do you keep your skin moisturized during the winter?

January 19, 2015 at 10:31 pmI always hear good things about Aveeno’s lotions. I have only used their cleanser before when I struggled with breakouts in the past. With this winter weather I have experienced more dryness in my skin so I will definitely have to check out this product. Thanks for sharing Trina!
