Miss Vicky 
I was excited when my sister got this Aveeno body oil for me. As someone with quite dry skin I loved the sound of the ease of a spray on body oil. I’ve tried many in the past so was curious to see how this one from Aveeno compared. I’m also a big fan of the original Aveeno moisturising lotion so was keen to give this a go.
The bottle is generously sized. I was glad to see it in a plastic bottle rather than a glass one which I’ve normally had. Oil covered hands on glass bottles and bathroom tiles are always a risky proposition!

I also loved that this was a pump pack rather than aerosol as I felt this made the application much easier to control and less likely to spread onto surrounding surfaces.
The scent was my most favourite thing about this oil. It took me a while to place what it was but it reminds me of coconut. Very tropical smelling and delicious!
Aveeno daily moisturizing oil mist is easily absorbed and doesn’t mark my clothes at all. I put it on directly after my shower while my skin is still damp to help with the absorption. My skin feels lovely and smoothly soft after application but unfortunately that feeling doesn’t last too long.
I personally found this not quite moisturising enough for my dry Winter skin but can definitely see myself pulling it out again in the Summer months when I want something a little more lightweight.
Product Description
An oil for your body, which comes in a handy spray bottle. It promises to moisturise, relieve and repair dry skin.
My Personal Take On It
Let’s start with the good. This felt super nice on the skin. For an oil, it wasn’t too heavy or greasy and it absorbed really well. It always left my skin feeling super soft and hydrated and I really felt it retained the moisture for a long time.
I also really liked the spray applicator. It made it so much easier to use because you could spray it all over your body and then massage it in. A little also goes a long way so you don’t need to douse yourself in it. A couple of sprays here and there are enough.
It contains Oat & Jojoba Oil which are rich in lipids and fatty acids to restore the skin barrier, making it an excellent choice for those with very dry skin.
What I didn’t like about this was the smell of it. It has a very strong sweet, coconut like scent. I’m not opposed to fragrance in skincare, but when I used this it was all I could smell the entire night and next day. The scent also transferred to my clothes and bedsheets, so I felt I could never ever escape from it. It was just way too overpowering for my liking.
I ended up passing it onto my mum who I believe likes it. This would definitely be for you if you have super dry skin on your body, and you don’t mind a strong lingering scent.

I’d use this in the evening after a shower. I’d spray on my arms, legs, chest, back and then massage in.
Would I Repurchase/Buy?
This was a pass for me. The smell was too overpowering and doesn’t fade. I don’t mind a scented body product, but I don’t want one that lingers, and this lingers pretty much until your next shower.
