Aveeno Fresh Essentials - with Giveaway! **CLOSED**

Last year, Aveeno introduced the Aveeno Fresh Essential Line. The main ingredient found in the line is southernwood - a plant with antioxidant properties that claims to restore the skin’s moisture barrier for fresher and healthier-looking skin. The line includes a daily SPF 30 day cream, a night cream and a daily exfoliating scrub. Before we get into the details, and the giveaway, let's talk about my skin:

Facts about my skin:
Skin tone: Olive tone
Skin type: Oily and acne prone
Problems: Occasional breakouts on the chin and cheeks, acne scars, large pores in the t-zone, an oily t-zone, and the odd wrinkle

The ResulTs

What I liked more about this new Aveeno skincare line is that it's focusing on protecting and hydrating your skin from all environmental stress it goes through on a daily basis. I often wonder how just car pollution affects our skin. My favorite from the skincare line was the scrub. I prefer to use it few times a week instead of daily as my skin is sensitive to daily exfoliation. The moisturizers are best suited for dryer skin; not acne or oily skin in my opinion. If you're looking for a new skincare line for dry skin, this is definitely one to check out.
