Eight Amazing Skin Care Treats from Avéne Thermal Spring Water

Let’s face it. The often humid Philippine weather is not very friendly to skin or to looking fresh all day long. Avéne Thermal Spring Water’s refreshing and soothing blast of fine mist on the skin is a gift from nature.

Originating from the beautiful mountains of Cevennes in France, this one-of-a-kind product contains minerals with healthy benefits and therapeutic properties proven to soothe, soften, and restore the natural balance of every skin type, especially sensitive skin. But over and above being a soothing, healing mist, Avéne is a beauty aid as well.

Here are eight amazing uses of Avéne Thermal Spring Water for all skin types:

1.    Skin toner after cleansing

Avéne Thermal Spring Water can serve as your go-to setting spray for your everyday makeup look, leaving your skin with a natural, dewy finish. Right after applying your makeup, just spray a fine amount of Avéne on your skin, wait for a few minutes then pat dry and you’re ready to go.

Not only can it help start up your day, the thermal spray can also be your end-of-day best friend. It’s a perfect toner for sensitive skin after cleansing and removing makeup giving you a freshening finish.

2.    Relieving discomfort after shave

Everyone knows the struggle of that after-shave feeling. Fear not, Avéne’s got your back and everything else. Its cooling sensation is great in providing immediate relief to skin after shaving or waxing, letting you feel only cool, soothing softness.

3.    Soothing redness, rashes, and itch

From a baby’s sensitive skin to facial irritation, Avéne’s thermal spray can be extra soothing to stinging and itching skin in any place of your body. Spray on a fine amount on the itchy body part and dab-dry it after a few minutes to experience relief.

4.    Caring for post-procedure skin

A few self-care regimens such as tweezing, threading, or waxing will surely bother your precious skin. What about laser treatments, skin peeling, and other similar procedures? Send Avéne Thermal Spring Water to the rescue! The spray will help soothe some of the pain as well as alleviate redness and burning that come after these procedures.

5.    Refreshening after recreational activities

Sports, outdoor activities, and other recreational activities can make you feel sticky and haggard. But Avéne Thermal spray, can make you feel refreshed like coming out from a shower. A few squirts on your skin will immediately give you that refreshing sensation you’ve been longing for.

6.    Cooling sunburnt skin

Being exposed under the sun for only a few hours can cause sunburn, a type of skin damage which makes your skin red, swollen, and painful. Having sunburnt skin can be a big hassle and is not something to be taken lightly as this may lead to bigger skin problems. Spray a good amount of Avéne Thermal Spring Water on the damaged part to cool it down and ease the sting of bad sunburn.

7.    Renewing damaged skin/wounds

Wounds or scars take time to heal, especially deep ones. When renewing damaged skin, it is important to use a product dedicated and adapted for the most delicate and sensitive skin--this is exactly what Avéne Thermal Spring Water is all about. Spraying the product on affected parts helps renew and bring comfort, whatever its origin.

8.    Freshening up during travel

Travelling gives a certain kind of pleasure which we can’t get from other activities. But going on different adventures and exploring the corners of the world or even just the city would be even more pleasurable when you have Avéne Thermal Spring Water with you. Not only will it help to refresh you, it will help you attain fresh and glowing skin for your close-up photos and selfies!

Cleanance: The Ultimate Natural Answer to Oily, Sensitive Skin

Avène’s Cleanance product line -- with cleansers, moisturizers and more that are specifically developed for the needs of oily and acne-prone skin -- launched Shine-Free Week September 26 – October 2 at SM Makati.

Well-known dermatologist Dr. Karen Gavino-Dionisio of the Aesthetic Institute of the Philippines shared information about good skin cleansing habits and specific products that can help prevent breakouts, arrest excessive oil production and sooth sensitive skin.

All week long, consumers got educated on skin types, the importance of caring for oily skin, the do’s and don’ts of oily skin and what products to use for various skin needs as they went through various stations at the Cleanance booth to enjoy interactive experiences and win prizes.

Dr. Gavino-Dionisio said everyone dreams about having blemish-free skin, so people try different skin care regimens in the hope that they can minimize breakouts. Having sensitive skin compounds skin problems so finding a good skin care routine can be challenging because no one regimen works for everybody. Not just women but also men share the bane of oily, acne-prone skin.

Oily, acne-prone skin, said Dr. Gavino-Dionisio is a concern for 80% of adolescents and 40% of adults. Some of the risk factors of acne are genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, sun exposure, smoking, stress, diet and oily skin.

Sebum, a naturally-occurring substance produced by the body’s sebaceous glands is vital to keep hair and skin lubricated and protected. However, the over-production of sebum can cause various skin problems. Excess oil secretion leads to clogged pores that result in acne.

Dr. Gavino-Dionisio said acne comes in different forms and the appearance and severity of the skin condition differs from one person to another. If untreated, the condition can last for years. But meticulous caring, using the right products and treatment can control this complex skin dilemma. Treatments take an average of two months to work. Patience and perseverance are key.

Cleanance, a French brand that is part of the famous Eau Thermale Avéne line, is the ultimate solution to oily skin for both men and women. It is made especially for acne-prone skin with spots and blackheads because it has gentle and exclusive active ingredients that regulate sebum production without drying the skin and also reduces the appearance of blemishes, said Karihome Philippines Head of Marketing, Anna Karennina Talatala.

During Shine-Free Week, customers had access to Cleanance EXPERT—the full Cleanance line that was introduced at the interactive booths. When used as a team, the products help to carry out the Cleanance Skin Care Routine of Cleanse, Prepare, Reduce Blemishes and Protect.

Cleanance Cleansing Gel jumpstarts the cleansing process. It is soap-free but deeply cleanses the skin while maintaining the surface hydrolipidic film. It has the ability to control sebum production and keep breakouts at bay.

Cleanance Micellar Water can be used next to gently remove impurities from the face and eyes without the need to rinse.

Cleanance Mattifying Lotion, a two toner combination of gentle astringent and mattifying powders can next be used to purify skin and tighten pores without irritation for a clear, shine-free complexion.

Cleanance Skin Refining Serum, a super light, watery texture serum that gives skin a sensation of comfort and freshness without the unwanted stickiness, is also recommended.

To reduce blemishes and dark sports, Cleanance Expert Emulsion helps eliminate mild to moderate blemishes, spots and blackheads while Cleanance Spot Corrector, a pen that helps reduce the appearance of localized blemishes with daily use, can be used to touch up unwanted spots.

Lastly, there is Cleanance Solaire, which is specifically made for oily, acne-prone skin and gives a matte and shine-free finish that’s perfect for oily skin types. It provides high-sun protection of delicate facial skin with acne.

The Cleanance EXPERT-Complete Care line is formulated for sensitive skin because it has gentle and exclusive active ingredients to regulate sebum production without drying the skin, even as it reduces the appearance of blemishes. It contains Diolenyl that targets blemishes, X- Pressin that smoothens skin texture, Monolaurin that regulates sebum hyperproduction and Avéne Thermal Spring Water that soothes, softens and prevents skin irritation.

The Cleanance skincare line keeps skin purified, hydrated and mattified day after day.
