Always try to keep my ear close to the ground when it comes to beauty and skincare. When I was younger, my mother had a big blue can of water from the Swiss Alps from her travels. She would lightly mist her face on a hot summers day, when her face felt dry especially during the harsh winter months or when she had some sort of irritation surfacing on her face.

Naturally when I heard about Avene launching in South Africa, I was thrilled! I purchased the Thermal Water Spray during November of last year and it quickly became part of my skincare regime. I would mist my face before bed, pop it in my handbag if I was going out for the day especially if I was going to be in the sun for long periods of time. I have extremely sensitive skin so when with my eczema I would spray it onto the inflamed area and it would soothe it. It is the kind of product that you can use throughout the year for a number of purposes such as : lack of moisture, to soothe inflamed or irritated skin, aid skin’s regenerative process and combat signs of sun damage.

It retails for 150ZAR and can be found at your local drugstores such as Clicks and Dischem.
