What is Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion?
Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion is a lotion that is intended to be used for moisturising the skin. It offers 24-hour protection for the skin and will restore the skin barrier that has been damaged, causing dry skin. After just 2 weeks of use, the skin will feel softer and healthier.
What causes dry skin?
Dry skin occurs when the skin barrier is damaged and the skin dries out, becoming rougher and less smooth. There are factors, both external and internal, that can cause dry skin. External factors that can dry the skin out include:
- Weather conditions
- Seasonal – winter and summer especially
- UV sunlight
- Frequently washing
- Using strong soaps
- Certain types of medication
The internal factors can be more difficult to prevent causing dry skin. These include:
- Hormonal changes such as menopause
- Genetics – some people naturally have drier skin than others
- Diet
- Ageing
Dry skin is ultimately a loss of moisture in the skin and restoring the barrier will help the skin to retain it.
