Healthy Skin tips from Dr. Jessica Wu celebrity dermatologist

AVEENO and Recyclebank have this informative video from Dr. Jessica Wu, celebrity dermatologist with some interesting skin care tips.

from “rel=”nofollow”Aveeno & Recyclebank on “>Vimeo.

She doesn’t mention it in the video but another important thing to remember, especially for the summer, is sunscreen. I know most of us know this and we’ve probably already heard it at least a dozen times since the unofficial start of the summer season. Sunscreen is so important though at prevent skin cancer and pre-mature aging.

AVEENO makes some great sunscreens in their new Active Naturals line. I’ve personally been using the AVEENO Active Naturals Hydrosport sunblock spray in SPF 50 all of us here except the baby who gets AVEENO Baby Natural Protection Mineral sunblock.

The Hydrosport spray is so convenient and quick to put on. It’s sweat proof and waterproof which is perfect for our active family. AVEENO Baby is gently formulated for baby’s sensitive skin. I also have the AVEENO Baby sunblock for face in a convenient portable stick.

If you’re not in to the spray AVEENO also makes a Hydrosport sunblock lotion.

There’s also some new dates and places of the AVEENO Healthy Skin Tour where you can get a free skin screening from a dermatologist. It’s free and a great measure to see where you stand with your skin.

AVEENO® kits an idea for Mother’s Day and giveaway–CLOSED

RANDOM.ORG DREW NUMBER 192, BEAUTYTOLOVE. WINNER HAS BEEN EMAILED AND HAS 48 HRS TO REPLY TO WINNING EMAIL NOTIFICATION. THANKS FOR ENTERING!

AVEENO® has some really nice kits available with natural ingredients.

AVEENO’s Positively Ageless starter kit is part of their Active Naturals products. Each Positively Ageless product contains natural Shiitake complex which is a natural anti-oxidant. Anti-oxidants help your skins defense again free radicals that damage skin.

In a clinical study performed 100% women who used the kit as directed showed improvement in their skin. Some in as little as one week. I thought that sounded pretty motivating.

The AVEENO Positively Ageless starter kit includes:
–Positively Ageless exfoliating cleanser
–Positively Ageless lifting and firming eye cream
–Positively Ageless moisturizer with SPF 30
–Positively Ageless lifting and firming moisturizing night cream

And for the new mother or mother with little ones including a the AVEENO Baby Brand would be much appreciated.

AVEENO BABY is one of the preferred brands of pediatricians . AVEENO^® BABY Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream and AVEENO^® BABY Cleansing Therapy Moisturizing Wash were developed with a leading dermatologist. They also the National Eczema Association seal of acceptance. Did you know that 10-20% off all infants experience some type of Eczema? My youngest does. At times his skin would feel so rough and regular baby lotion just didn’t seem to do much for him.

In a clinical study, 90% of babies showed improvement in multiple areas of eczema such as roughness, dryness, itching, and scaling.

AVEENO has a lot of good products that would be fun to mix for a gift basket for mom too. Go with a summer themed gift basket and use AVEENO hydrosport sunblock line as well as the Positively Ageless line and include some neat summer items like sunglasses, lip balm with SPF, and a cute summer shirt. Woudn’t that make a fun basket?

AVEENO Active Naturals products, take the pledge to be an Active Natural

AVEENO has a whole line of Active Naturals products. AVEENO’s newest line uses active ingredients found in nature to care for and protect your skin.

If you really sit down and read about everything we put our skin through, it’s amazing how well it holds up: UV rays, harsh cold, air pollution, even sometimes our cosmetics.

As an AVEENO ambassador I had the opportunity to try some of the products in AVEENO’s Active Naturals line.

AVEENO smart essentials uses the active natural, southernwood. The natural combination of saccharides and polyphenols help attract and bind water to the skin and improves antioxidant activity. Then vitamins A,C, andE and humectants help my conditioning and nourishing the skin.

I received the AVEENO smart essentials pore purifying facial wash, daily detoxifying scrub, nighttime moisture infusion, and daily nourishing moisturizer.

I washed my skin day and night with the smart essentials pore purifying wash. It was very gentle on my skin. I followed that with using the daily detoxifying scrub once a day, usually at night. One thing I liked about this scrub was that the polishing beads in the scrub were not abrasive for my skin. I have sensitive skin and some scrubs are often too abrasive for me. I would follow my cleansing routine up with the daily nourishing moisturizer in the morning. It has SPF 30 which was really nice too. Did you know you should use sunscreen even on over cast days? Although you can’t see the sun, the UV rays are still present. Finally the nighttime moisture infusion. It made my skin so dewy soft without feeling greasy.

My husband commented on the scent. He was sniffing my face and said “mmm you smell good” lol. I told him it was the AVEENO products I was using. Also, AVEENO uses responsible packaging for these products.

They also have sunscreen with Active Naturals using the benefits of natural lotus complex. These products use “Mineralblock Technology” using natural titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. AVEENO sunblocs maintain their protection after 80 minutes of activity including swimming and perspiring. AVEENO active naturals sunblock include those for baby as well as adults.

Last but not least I received the AVEENO Active Naturals Living Color shampoo and conditioner. They’re color preserving hair care items using the active natural Lupine.

Lupine has been scientifically shown to seal the hair cuticle. This helps to seal in color and retain moisture in your hair. This product claims to prevent almost 80% of hair breakage in just one use.

I love the scent of the product too. It’s a light botanical scent that smells clean. I love the conditioner. It’s a thicker consistency and seemed to coat my long hair alot better than some conditioners.
