Summer skin solutions

Exposure to the sun and temperature changes are known to aggravate Rosacea or trigger flare ups,1 so this summer follow an Eau Thermale Avène skincare regime to help minimise redness and keep facial flushes at bay. From cleansing to moisturising and treating reddened and sensitive skin, Avène has a solution.

CLEANSE - Extremely Gentle Cleanser (£7.50/200ml)
Fragrance and paraben free, this no-rinse, tissue off formula contains a natural and gentle agent to cleanse, without the irritation that can be caused by rinsing with water or drying. Specifically developed with 96 % of Avène thermal spring water and minimum of ingredients, this is ideal for hypersensitive skin.

REFRESH - Thermal Spring Water Spray (£5.25 150ml/ £3.00 50ml)
Avène Thermal Spring Water is soothing, anti-irritating and an absolute summer essential for all skin types!

This handy spray also comes in a 50ml can, making it a must have for holiday hand luggage.

PROTECT – Hydrance Optimale UV SPF 15 (£13.50 / 40ml)
Exposure to UV rays can trigger skin-flare ups so it’s even more essential to protect skin during the summer. This light emulsion effectively hydrates, whilst providing protection from both UVA and UVB rays.

TREAT PROBLEM AREAS IN THE EVENING- Diroséal (£21.00/30ml)
Apply Diroséal to problem areas to prevent and correct localised redness. This gentle cream is tinted green to neutralise the skin’s high colour, and contains a trio of complementary active ingredients, including:

- Rétinaldehyde – to help boost cell metabolism and thicken the upper
skin layers, lessening the appearance of small blood vessels under the
skin’s surface

- Dextran Sulphate – a decongesting agent to reduce the localised swelling due to rosacea

- Avène thermal spring water – to soothe and calm the ‘hot’ feeling that accompanies redness. Follow this treatment with the Skin Recovery Cream all over the face.

MOISTURISE - Skin Recovery Cream (£11.95/40ml)
Paraben, preservative and fragrance free this emergency treatment effectively calms irritation. Moisturising agents help restore, comfort and repair damaged and dry skin while 67% Avene spring water soothes it.
