Avene is a lovely French brand based on minimalistic ingredients that are aimed at sensitive or damaged skin. The Avene Thermal Spring Water is the focus of the brand, and is contained in many of their products. I don't have sensitive skin, however I thought the Avene Thermal Spring Water would be a lovely product to add into my skincare routine. I am currently removing my makeup, cleansing and then using the spring water before or after toning. I'm not sure that this is the best place for it in my routine, and I may change this later on.
The Thermal Spring Water sprays softly onto the skin, somewhere between a spray and a mist. It is refreshing, cooling and absorbs and dries quickly. It doesn't have a scent and one quick spray is enough to cover my face and neck. I don't find the product getting in my hair or on my clothes, although it is applied so lightly that I wouldn't notice if it did. As I'm not using the product to treat any skin conditions, I haven't noticed any differences in my skin, other than it feeling refreshed at the time. I am looking forward to using this product in summer, possibly during the day over my makeup. I will also use it if I ever have any dry or irritated patches of skin as it is known for it's healing properties.
This product is fantastic! I have been using it for years, after being reccomeded it by my mum. We have quite similar skin types, sensitive and very fair. So the whole Avene set of products are fantastic, but this one is just a great go to at any time, whether it be in place of toner, as a mist when you are feeling hot or just to refresh makeup, make you feel a bit more peppy after a long day. My 5 year old daughter loves it too when she has a temperature or is just really hot from playing she asks for a spritz and she says it cools her down and makes her feel better. There was no irritation, it has not much of a scent to it so nothing there to cause you to get a shock when you spray it. Just nice, refreshing mist that makes your skin feel super hydrated after each spray.
Tips: Use it anytime, carry it in your handbag.
