Exploring different products could be tricky and complicated for skincare and beauty enthusiasts with sensitive skin. Sometimes, unknown to them, a product may cause skin irritation.
This is true for actress Sofia Andres. In an interview, Sofia shared with Manila Bulletin Lifestyle that once in her life, she followed makeup and beauty trends, which caused her discomfort.
“When I was younger, I wasn’t aware of what I was putting on my skin so I played with makeup based on what was trendy. It got really red and itchy,” she says. “That’s when I realized I will never do that again.”
Due to the nature of her profession, she’s still battling with makeup and its effects on her skin regularly. “My skin stressor is the makeup. We’re always on lime life, wearing makeup on photoshoots and exposed to light on set,” she says.
That is why she was happy when Aveeno’s Calm + Restore product line was launched in the Philippines, and the brand tapped her as the line’s official ambassador. Aveeno’s Calm + Restore product line is designed to meet the unique needs of sensitive skin. By leveraging the power of prebiotic oats and calming feverfew, this new line promises to instantly calm sensitive skin and help restore the skin’s moisture barrier.
“We can’t always put makeup on to cover it [the redness]. So we need something that is reliable and working. It’s really important that you take care of your skin even with or without makeup. It should be healthy, smooth, and young looking.” she says. “If your skin is really sensitive, Aveena can really help with that. It’s gentle and incredibly effective, you’ll notice.”
This product line is composed of Oat Gel Moisturizer, Nourishing Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30, Re-Hydrating Night Cream, and Triple Oat Serum.
Hugo Kerriou, a key figure in Aveeno’s research and development team, explained the science behind these ingredients. He shared that the brand has relied on oats for over 70 years due to its exceptional ability to hydrate, support the skin barrier, and balance the skin’s microbiome. He also noted that feverfew adds significant value with its soothing and antioxidant properties, which help the skin fend off environmental stressors.
The new Aveeno Calm + Restore collection is now available at Watsons, Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.
