Everything you need to know about the French skincare brand Avene.
Avène thermal spring water is from a small village in the South of France in the Orb valley in a national park. It comes straight from a natural spring into the Avène Hydrotherapy Centre, where patients with extreme skin conditions can visit and receive treatments to correct inflammatory skin diseases.
Dermatologists refer around 2800 patients from all over the world to the Avene Hydrotherapy Center, to treat skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema.
Avène thermal spring water is amongst the purest in the world,
with its low mineral content, it's high in trace elements, calcium, and magnesium and has been soothing irritated skin since the 1700s.
The Thermal Spring Water is also the base of every one of the products in the Avène range.
The Avène range of skincare was created to treat sensitive to dry skin and anyone with skin irritations. Ideal during spring when pollen is floating in the air and conditions such as eczema and hives from seasonal allergies.
One of the unique functions of the lungs is that it has a direct impact on the skin. As sister organs, many people with asthma also have skin conditions such as eczema.
New from Avène is the multi-benefit Day Protector Tinted BB Cream SPF30. It contains Avène thermal spring water, vitamin E and two ingredients, meiboserine and Lipomucin, that creates a protective veil over the skin to keep it hydrated for hours.
Along with the SPF30, which offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, mineral pigments and brightening pearls give the skin an even-looking tint in a universally flattering, natural beige-based shade.
