Product Review: Aveeno Shower and Bath Oil

My skin was really dry and itching from mosquito bites. I was looking for a solution when I saw the Aveeno Shower and Bath Oil.

What is it? 

To me, it a leave-in body moisturizer you use in the shower.

According to Aveeno's website, it is a light oil that has a unique skin conditioner designed for use in the shower or bath. Its special formula blends moisture-retaining properties of mineral oil with the skin-soothing benefits of ACTIVE NATURALS Colloidal Oatmeal to relieve itchy, dry skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth all day.

I was attracted by the promise to relieve itchy skin.


My experience

I love the smell and the entire experience of using the Aveeno Shower and Bath Oil in the shower. It smells heavenly and super yummy. A little oil goes a long way. My skin feels nice and soft after the shower.  I only tried the Aveeno Shower and Bath oil in a long bath once but I did not like it as much. Maybe I did not use enough oil, other than some oil in the bath water, the combination did not make my skin feel any different.

Verdict

I love the Aveeno Shower and Bath Oil in the shower but not as a bath oil. It does leave my skin feeling soft and smooth for the entire night but it was not very effective in relieving the itch from mosquito bites.
