BRAND FOCUS: AVEENO BABY

Today I’m putting focus on a range of baby products from Aveeno Baby;





Aveeno Baby Fragrance Free Soothing Relief Creamy Wash with Natural Colloidal Oatmeal
 





I love this Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash is a tear-free creamy wash, specially formulated to gently cleanse and soothe dry skin. Aveeno's baby Wash is enriched with colloidal oatmeal to care for baby's sensitive skin. In spite of being fragrance free, it has a soft gentle scent that is perfect for both babies and adults. The wash is paraben free, which is always great, and it is also soap-free and has been clinically shown to help relieve dry skin, when used in a daily routine with Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief moisture Cream. And you can tell it gently cleans the skin leaving it feeling soft afterwards, and it is also great to use as a bubble bath, so it is also perfect that it is a tear-free formula so no need to worry too much about it getting into your baby’s eyes. RRP: $10.99 (236ml) – Available from Priceline, Supermarkets & Pharmacies



Aveeno Baby Fragrance Free Soothing Relief Moisture Cream






I absolutely love this Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream, and I’ve been using it on my own body and hands in the last few weeks of my pregnancy when my skin was particularly irritated. The thick cream is enriched with colloidal oatmeal to care for the skin, and provide moisture for up to 24 hours, and it is so gentle that it is suitable for baby's sensitive skin too. It absorbs so quickly into the skin, without leaving behind any greasiness, and instantly provides relief to even the driest of skins. Like the creamy wash, it is also fragrance free, yet has a lovely gentle scent. RRP: $10.99 (140g) – Available from Priceline, Supermarkets & Pharmacies



Aveeno Baby Fragrance Free Daily Lotion



 




This is another moisturiser that I really love thanks to its gentle and fragrance-free formula. Like the rest of the range, the Aveeno Baby Daily Moisturising Lotion Fragrance Free is enriched with colloidal oatmeal that adds intense moisture while it soothes even the driest of skins, and protects chafed, chapped or cracked skin. I’ve also been enjoying using this non-greasy lotion on my own skin, which tends to become extra during winter, but I happy knowing that the formula is gentle enough to use on even my newborn’s skin. RRP: $10.99 (227g) – Available from Priceline, Supermarkets & Pharmacies


Aveeno Baby Lightly Scented Wash & Shampoo

 





Unlike the other products, this Wash and Shampoo is lightly scented, so I’ve only been using it on my toddler, at this stage preferring to avoid fragranced products where possible on my newborn. In saying that, it is still a hypoallergenic formula that is so gentle that it is suitable for everyday use. I love the fact that it is a two-in-one formula that can be used as both a body wash and shampoo, making bath time so much easier, and of course it can be used by adults with sensitive skin or those preferring gentle products too. I also love that it is tear-free. It has lovely very light and fresh scent. Like the rest of the range, it contains natural oat which cleanses without drying out the skin or the hair. RRP: $10.99 (236ml) – Available from Priceline, Supermarkets & Pharmacies

For me the standout products are the Fragrance Free Soothing Relief Creamy Wash with Natural Colloidal Oatmeal and the Fragrance Free Soothing Relief Moisture Cream, and would certainly consider repurchasing.

PRODUCT REVIEW: ARBONNE SEASOURCE DETOX SPA RENEWING BODY GELEE

If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you’d know that I love the products from Arbonne. They are simply of such a high quality and always live up to their promise, so when I was asked to trial the Arbonne Seasource Detox Spa Renewing Body Gelee, I happily accepted. Here are my thoughts;






What They Say:

After the beach or a long run, cool off with this refreshing gel that hydrates for soft, smooth-feeling skin. The formula, with hydrating sea and botanical extracts, help revitalise, renew and restore skin’s moisture barrier.

RRP: $68 (354ml) – Available from Natalie Xylas, Independent Arbonne Consultant

What I Say:

This Renewing Body Gelee from the Arbonne Seasource Detox Renewing, which is designed to detox the skin from the impurities it encounters and accumulates during the day. The actual gelee is a cross between cream and gel and it is so light. Arbonne recommends that it is perfect to use after being in the sun, but I didn’t get this until summer was basically over, and besides being pregnant, I’ve been avoiding extended time in the sun this summer as it simply made me feel uncomfortable and dizzy. But that doesn’t meant that I haven’t been enjoying using the Body Gelee.

- The Body Gelee contains a mixture of botanical ingredients, including Bladderwrack Extract to soften, detox and soothe the skin

- Sea Plant Extract, an antioxidant and humectant that provides hydration to the skin

- Sea Algae that naturally re-mineralises and exfoliates the skin

- Sea Fennel to add moisture to the skin

- Micro-Algae, which is high multivitamin, protein and amino acid content to restore the skin

- Laminaria Digitata, a hydrating antioxidant that encourages efficient functioning of the body


The Body Gelee has the most beautiful and refreshing and slightly zesty scent too, that continues to linger on the skin for some time.

Being so light, the Gelee absorbs instantly into the skin, leaving it so soft and smooth, and feeling so deeply hydrated, with no greasiness or stickiness in sight. And I really love the cooling and soothing feeling the gelee gives the skin immediately on application, and can only imagine how lovely it would be after a day on the beach – but I have also been enjoying it to massage into my growing pregnant bump, which as the weeks has gone on, has gone more and more itchy as it has grown and the skin stretched! I don’t normally suffer with skin irritations, but for some reason I do in the ladder months of pregnancy, which I also did when expecting our first! But this Renewing Body Gelee simply instantly provides soothing relief, so it has become a habit for me to massage it in to especially my tummy after not only my shower in the morning, but also at night as I sit on the couch and watch a bit of telly before bed – and well, so far, it has stopped me from scratching the skin on my tummy to bits during the night!

The light green cream comes in a heavy duty plastic tub with a blue metallic lid, and at $68 it is on the expensive side – but that said, the tub also contains a generous 354ml, and is quite concentrated too, so you don’t need to apply a lot at the time!

Overall I am really enjoying using this Renewing Body Gelee, which again is no surprise as so far I’m yet to try an Arbonne product I didn’t like – so if you can afford the splurge, I certainly wouldn’t hesitate recommending it to you, as well as I wouldn’t hesitate trialling any of the other products in the Seasource Detox Spa Range!
