Healthy Skin tips from Dr. Jessica Wu celebrity dermatologist

AVEENO and Recyclebank have this informative video from Dr. Jessica Wu, celebrity dermatologist with some interesting skin care tips.

Aveeno Presents - Dr. Jessica Wu Tips & Tricks from http://vimeo.com/aveenoambassadors">Aveeno & Recyclebank on http://vimeo.com">Vimeo.


She doesn't mention it in the video but another important thing to remember, especially for the summer, is sunscreen. I know most of us know this and we've probably already heard it at least a dozen times since the unofficial start of the summer season. Sunscreen is so important though at prevent skin cancer and pre-mature aging.

AVEENO makes some great sunscreens in their new Active Naturals line. I've personally been using the AVEENO Active Naturals Hydrosport sunblock spray in SPF 50 all of us here except the baby who gets AVEENO Baby Natural Protection Mineral sunblock.

The Hydrosport spray is so convenient and quick to put on. It's sweat proof and waterproof which is perfect for our active family. AVEENO Baby is gently formulated for baby's sensitive skin. I also have the AVEENO Baby sunblock for face in a convenient portable stick.

If you're not in to the spray AVEENO also makes a Hydrosport sunblock lotion.


There's also some new dates and places of the AVEENO Healthy Skin Tour where you can get a free skin screening from a dermatologist. It's free and a great measure to see where you stand with your skin.

At times his skin would feel so rough and regular baby lotion just didn't seem to do much for him.

In a clinical study, 90% of babies showed improvement in multiple areas of eczema such as roughness, dryness, itching, and scaling. 

AVEENO has a lot of good products that would be fun to mix for a gift basket for mom too.  Go with a summer themed gift basket and use AVEENO hydrosport sunblock line as well as the Positively Ageless line and include some neat summer items like sunglasses, lip balm with SPF, and a cute summer shirt.  Woudn't that make a fun basket?
