Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne is affiliated with many brands, and one of them is Aveeno, a skin and hair care brand. The LSU gymnast leads all female college athletes in NIL earnings. In the On3 overall rankings, she only trails Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
On the other end, Skenes just capped off his spectacular rookie season, after he threw two perfect innings against probably one of the best teams in the AL, the New York Yankees. He finished with a 1.96 ERA, going 11-3, becoming one of the frontrunners for the NL Rookie of the Year.
On Monday, Dunne posted a video promoting Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Cream, which claims to help in one's skincare routine.
"When I wake up, the first thing I reach for is my little skincare secret," Dunne said in the video. "My secret to amazingly healthy-looking skin is oats. Oats go beyond the skin's moisture barrier to keep my skin hydrated. That's why I love Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cream.

"The new Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cream instantly strengthens my skin's moisture barrier and hydrates for a full 48 hours. It's formulated for use on both the face and body. It's the GOAT."
Olivia Dunne is grateful for NIL deals, helping her explore new things
During an appearance on LSU college basketball star Flau'jae Johnson's "Best of Both Worlds" podcast, Olivia Dunne revealed the kind of gifts and experiences she gets to be part of due to her affiliations.
Dunne said (7:00 onwards):
"I feel that making those memories and being able to have these opportunities and the money at this age, and being able to have new experiences with my family — traveling, going to different countries — like we just went to France for the Olympics, and my whole family got to come."
"It was one of the most special trips. I usually get a little nervous about leaving the country — I like being, yeah, yeah — but that trip is something I'll never forget. Just being able to provide experiences like that is what makes me happy, and I hope that my family feels the same way because it's super fun."
In 2021, the NCAA enforced a new rule, allowing college athletes to earn from their commercial use of name, image and likeness. Since then, the college landscape has taken a big shift with college athletes creating their own brands and signing one deal after the other.
Among one of those is Olivia Dunne who has signed deals worth $3.9 million. The count is only going to increase as she prepares for her final season with the LSU Tigers.
