To add to their skin-safety initiatives, AVEENO has launched their HYDROSPORT sun block collection, which is specially designed with waterproof technology that adheres directly to wet skin, to protect it from harmful UVA/UVB rays.


AVEENO explains that "this groundbreaking collection is powered by the latest exclusive ACTIVE NATURALS® Lotus Wax Complex, which provides naturally-derived water repelling technology for long-lasting broad- spectrum, photostable coverage."

They have also just launched their NATURAL PROTECTION sun block line, which is uniquely formulated with 100% naturally-sourced MINERALBLOCK Technology. This extra gentle collection is marketed under their "Baby" collection, but really, can be used by anyone.


It combines skin-soothing ACTIVE NATURALS® oat and MINERALBLOCK Technology to ensure that delicate skin is protected and not irritated.This technology is a natural alternative which combines Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide to provide superior, long-lasting sun protection.

Get the Look: Vibrant, Red-Carpet Hair Trends with AVEENO® and Patrick Melville.



This blunt fringe cut as seen on Sandra was a big trend on the runways this past New York Fashion Week. To get a look like Sandra’s, Patrick advises to shampoo and condition with AVEENO®’s Nourish+ Smooth line. Then apply a small amount of smoothing gel throughout from root to end. Blow-dry hair straight with a Mason Pearson brush. Take a little bit of hairspray and mist all over to knock down any flyways and brush hair again throughout with the Mason Pearson.



Here's what it takes to get this Hollywood Glamour look at home: shampoo and condition your locks with the new AVEENO® Living Color line. Next, towel dry out excess moisture and apply a volumizing mouse at the roots and soft hold gel creme throughout. Comb hair to make sure that product is evenly distributed throughout hair. Blow-dry hair with a Mason Pearson brush to lock in shine. Roll hair in hot rollers making sure to roll hair under except for the top sections. Make sure the front sections along the hairline are rolled forward. Let hair completely cool and take out rollers. Brush hair into shape using a Mason Pearson and help create those soft smooth beautiful waves. Spray hairspray on hands and smooth hair over to get rid of any flyways.



This is blunt fringe variation on Olivia is stunning and very easy to achieve at home. Shampoo and Condition with AVEENO®’s Nourish+ Smooth line. Apply a small amount of volumizing mousse at the roots and smoothing gel from root to end. Blow-dry hair straight from root to ends with a Mason Pearson brush. When hair is completely dry, flip hair upside down and spray with hairspray (try AVEENO®’s NOURISH+ STYLE Fortifying Hairspray). Throw hair back and brush over with Mason Pearson and gently run fingers through the hair to smooth over and add texture.
