AVEENO Sunscreen Review + Summertime Pool Fun

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post for AVEENO®. I'm a 2014 AVEENO® Ambassador. All opinions are 100% my own. I received (5) tubes of AVEENO® sunscreen #AveenoSun, Wildfox Couture Le Femme Cateye Sunglasses and a Make A Wish Wishbone bracelet by Dogeared from AVEENO®. 

Have you gotten any pool or beach time in this Summer? I relaxed at my aunt's (condo) pool this weekend. It was in the 70's this past weekend (Cincinnati, OH), but it's going to be in the upper 90's this week. IT'S SUPER SIZZLE HOT! HaHaHa July is UV Safety Month and AVEENO sent me their sunscreen collection to test out! They also sent me some really COOL gifts! They spoil me & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! C'mon, and let me show you what I received! :)





The first product I was excited to test out, was AVEENO's Protect + Hydrate Sunscreen Lotion FOR FACE (Broad Spectrum SPF 50). Let me tell you! I use to use regular body sunscreen on my face. It was way too heavy! Especially when applying makeup afterwards! I'm happy to say this sunscreen is light, has a clean, fresh scent, absorbs completely into my skin and doesn't affect my makeup application. I also wear UVA/UVB sunglasses and a sun hat. This sunscreen is also sweat + water resistant (80 min). Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure!

The second product I was excited to test out was AVEENO's Hydrosport Wet Skin Spray Sunscreen (Broad Spectrum SPF 30). NO CAP GUYS!!! It's built into the can! I love that feature, because who wants to fumble with caps when you're at the beach, swimming area etc!?! You just TWIST & SPRAY! Another thing, it's not oily or greasy! Spray your legs, arms etc. Rub the sunscreen in with your hands. Not oily. Smells great. Did I say it was OIL FREE? Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure! Do NOT spray in your face! Apply to your hands and then rub it into the skin of your face :)

Do you have sensitive skin? Well, you're going to love the third sunscreen product by AVEENO! It's specifically for sensitive skin: AVEENO Natural Protection Lotion Sunscreen. It's fragrance free and has soothing oat. It provides NATURAL PROTECTION! Meaning it's 100% naturally sourced sunscreen ingredients. This sunscreen lotion has a broad spectrum SPF of 50. The cream is white and has no scent. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure!

The last two help reverse skin dehydration! Did you know any such thing existed? I didn't! Both contain nourishing oat. AVEENO's protect + hydrate sunscreen lotions come in a range from SPF 30 - 70. It's designed to protect and nourish skin to keep it looking and feeling healthy. It contains ACTIVE NATURALS OAT, which provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection while helping to reverse skin dehydration. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure!



Here are some pics I took around the pool. The plants are so pretty! Nobody uses it! So I'm having a blast. AVEENO sent me a beautiful pair of Wildfox Le Femme cat eye sunglasses from Wildfox Couture. They are so COOL! They also sent me a beautiful 'make a wish' wishbone bracelet from Dogeared. They have some really cool jewelry. Very minimal (which I like). My dress is by Garnet Hill (purchased last year). Shhh, I took my aunt's straw hat. HaHaHa I thought it went well with my dress. >.<  Have a great week everybody! Let your light shine BRIGHT!

  7. Oh man I wish I could go to the pool! Getting too cold here now, even in the middle of the day :)

    Such a cute sunscreen kit! I tend to use makeup with sunscreen built in, as like you I find the usual stuff much too oily for my face. It's oily enough on it's own haha!

  9. I've heard of this product. I'm interested in that 70 SPF as I play frisbee in long hours under the sun sometimes and I have light sensitive skin. I might try it out sometime. Thanks for sharing, Kim.

  20. Your shades are so cute! Nice photos by the pool! I trust the Aveeno brand and I like their sunscreen. I haven't tried their spray on one yet. Will have to get some:)

  21. you look DIVINE in those sunnies, Kim!! It's bad to say but I am not a sunscreen kinda gal-- although I definitely pick up a few if I'm heading to the beach! Now I'm curious if skin dehydration also adds to that super tired feeling you get from the beach/sun. Hmmmm! hahah

  28. Your pool day looks like so much fun and it's so cute how you included the sign at the pool with 'no diving.' I have used Aveeno a lot in the past and I love Neutrogena and Eucerin sunscreen too. I always need formulas for sensitive skin especially on my neck and chest or the sun will break me out so I'd definitely try these formulas. :)) Hope you're having a great summer!

  40. Ha! I love that we both talked about sunscreen this week! As you can guess I would probably gravitate the the natural version.

  50. You look so chic poolside, Kim! I adore Aveeno's products. The lotion is a longtime fave. I hadn't tried the body wash until I won the items from your recent Instagram giveaway. Absolutely love it! A new fave of mine (I'm about to invest in another bottle as I've nearly used the first one up). Hugs & joy, T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com

  54. Your photos are SO pretty!! So relaxing and lovely - you look gorgeous with the sunglasses - very Hollywood glam! :)

    So many people don't use sun lotion so it's lovely to see more and more bloggers writing about different brands and products to use when in the sun! :)

  59. I used an Aveeno sunscreen a couple years back and loved it. Glad to see that they're expanding their range 'cause I love their products!

    Hope you had a fun day by the pool - the sunglasses are so chic & I also love Dogeared's simple pieces :)

  61. Well we certainly need our sunscreen here in England which isn't always the case! I hope this weather lasts.
    Great review Kim and what a lovely pool area. It's surprising what a difference colourful plants can make. You look so stylish in your hat and fabulous sunglasses!

  62. I have only recently realised that chemical sunscreens can cause averse reaction to my daughter's skin and to my own. No matter how high the protection factor, it must be provided by natural ingredients. Which so far I've only found with very expenses products (like 40euro for 30ml). So I'm going and check out Aveeno line straightaway. The spray will be my first choice! Thank you for the review Kim!!
    Ps. Those sunnies look amazing on you!!

  65. I love this!! I don't use sunscreen because it is heavy but since this is a lighter sunscreen I would love to try it out. How is Ohio Kim? Are you living there now?
