Aveeno Moisturising Creamy Oil Review


Info:
Stocked in: Boots, Superdrug, Lloyds Pharmacy, Pharmacy 2U and Ocado (this may alter dependent on where you are from)

Price: £7.15

Website: http://aveeno.co.uk/

The Review:
Alongside the bath and shower oil I thought I would buy a matching moisturiser that I can put on after the shower.

I don’t this to my face often as it is a bit oily and never boded well with needing to put make-up on afterwards but if I have days where I am not going out I will put it on my face and give it longer to absorb. They do have products which are designed for your face but I didn’t purchase any of them therefore cannot review them.

Again, this product like its pair smells amazing and the scent really lingers throughout the day. However it is not that brilliant at suppressing psoriasis patches. It does leave un-affected areas of the skin smooth and therefore does do what it is meant for. Sadly it is another product which is not a remedy for psoriasis!

If you do not have extensive patches and just wish to maintain your skin with a brilliant moisturiser, then Aveeno is definitely good. Just sadly not good enough for what I need it for.

The Results:
Price: 6/10 – still quite expensive, but a tiny bit cheaper than the bath and shower oil

Smell: 10/10 – it smells sweet and has a really lovely scent, the smell also lingers on your skin all day

Texture: 9/10 – spreads on the skin easily

Packaging: 8/10 – looks the same as the bath and shower oil and I like that symmetry with products

Time consumption: 8/10 – doesn’t take long to sink in but (for make-up wearers) I wouldn’t recommend putting it on your face if you are in a rush to get ready as you will have to wait a while to put make-up on and it doesn’t sit too well with it on either

Overall result: 5/10 - does what it says on the tin but sadly isn't a hidden psoriasis miracle

(Overall result if you just want to have a decent smelling moisturiser: 9/10 – love how it smells and makes your skin smooth, given it a 9 as I don’t like the effect it has on your face if you are in a rush to get ready)

If you have used any of the other Aveeno moisturiser products – let me know how they worked on your skin. J

Bio-Oil

Image
So, I know that Bio-oil is most commonly used as a product to help with stretch marks and uneven skin tone, but I thought that if it would/could help with that, then maybe it will help with the roughness of my skin that is caused by psoriasis. I also have un-even skin tone where the areas of psoriasis are redder than my very pale skin. When an area of psoriasis starts to get better, I also end up with a silver tinted skin patch which looks the same as a scar; therefore, I decided to see what bio-oil does to my skin condition and whether or not it helped. Info: You can buy Bio-Oil in most places. I found this specific one from Costco but I am sure that they are everywhere (Boots/Tesco/Superdrug) or somewhere online. A description of their product that they have online: “ Bio‑Oil is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. It is also effective for ageing and dehydrated skin. Bio‑Oil has won 167 skinc...

Epaderm Ointment; Product Review

Image
Hey Psquad, It's cold in England at the moment ( shock 😂), even my family members with "normal" skin are finding that theirs is dry. I've stuck to the same products recently, and am in need of a switch up... The beautiful people at HelloSkin contacted me, and asked if I would test some psoriasis products for them. I chose the Epaderm Ointment as I have previously used the Epaderm Cream; with great results!  I personally feel that ointments are better than moisturisers when it comes to treating my psoriasis. Normally, if my skin is tolerable, I don't use them as much because of their greasy-ness. When my skin flares up badly, I will use an ointment...always. I was drawn to this ointment because of the different ways you can use it...which i have put below... So where is my Psoriasis bad right now?! Well I used this awesome form  that I found on twitter, from Psoriasis Awareness, to show you guys where I am suffering at the moment and where I will ...

Who is your Hero?! 2014 Health Hero Awards

Image
I received an email asking me to spread the word about a very beautiful concept.  It is called: 2014 Health Hero Awards. This award aims to highlight those special people who put themselves second and someone else first. As the email stated “the heroes of healthcare ”. I think that it is only  available  to residents in the UK.  There are so many people out there who go above and beyond to ensure that someone knows they are loved at a time that they need it most. This award goes to show that special someone that their selfless act meant more to you than they probably know. My Hero: I fell ill and was hospitalized when I was about 14. I remember my Mother would not leave my side – even when I had to go into the operating room she refused to leave until I was unconscious and even then I was told she kept talking to me. My entire family supported me through the situation but her especially. She cried with me and at times for me. She stayed awak...
