What I Say:
I have to admit that I like scented body washes. Normally I using scented body washes is not a
problem for my skin as it is far from sensitive or dry, but lately, being 25
weeks pregnant, my tummy has started to itch a little – probably not made any
better by the current heatwave we are experiencing here in Melbourne – so using
an very gentle fragrance free body wash definitely doesn’t hurt.
The Aveeno Active Naturals Skin Relief Body Wash contains colloidal oatmeal, which has been clinically proven
to moisturise and relieve dry skin, and provide temporary skin
protection and when used in a bath treatment it can relieve minor itching and
irritation due to rashes, poison ivy/oak/sumac, and insect bites.
The body wash also contains emollients and gentle cleansers,
which along with the oatmeal claims to hold moisture even after you rinse to
soothe dry, itchy all day long.
The body was is not only fragrance free, and dermatologist
recommended, it is also soap free. Yet, it is lovely and creamy and it still easily
lathers up into a soft foam. And afterwards my skin really does feel soft,
smooth and moisturised, with no itchiness or dryness. However, I still feel
like I need to use a body lotion afterwards, which I always do after a shower –
and combined, it definitely helps soothe and take a lot of the itch out of my
skin.
In spite of being perfume free, it does have a slight gentle
scent no doubt coming from the natural ingredients in the body wash.
All in all, this body wash is perfect for someone after
something for sensitive skin or who didn't like strong scents. And as it really
does help minimise my itchy skin on my pregnant tummy, I will definitely continue
using it and repurchase again when I run out.

I really like this body too, it's great for people with eczema and psoriasis and just general itchiness. There is also a lavender version that more calming benefits.
