Protective Leave-On Lotions

Aveeno's Day Mask Lotion Combats Environmental Stressors

With its Absolutely Ageless Leave-On Day Mask Lotion, Aveeno is introducing what it calls "a whole new concept in skin defense."

The antioxidant-rich product is touted as a "pre-tox" leave-on formula that specifically helps to fight environmental aggressors, such as UVA and UVB rays, smoke and pollution. New research has found these environmental stressors extremely taxing on the skin, as well as contributors to early signs of aging. Some of the antioxidant-rich, anti-aging ingredients in the formula include blackberries, moringa seed and green tea extracts. To further protect the skin, the leave-on lotion also includes SPF 30.

The formula is designed to be hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, non-greasy, fast-absorbing and as one that is meant to be left on the face, the Absolutely Ageless Leave-On Day Mask Lotion can be layered with makeup.
