Avene New Summer Products

Summer has definitely kicked in in Malta. It is blazing hot and the sun is scorching. Therefore, SPF is a must for sure! A while bag I was invited to the launch of these new products. The event started with an in-depth presentation on the brand and the science behind the new products. It was followed by some nibbles and bubbly!

This event marks the launch of the new Avene SunsiMed skin care product. It is a protection which offers you a solution perfectly adapted to skin with sun hypersensibility. 

Sunsimed contains an exclusive photoprotective complex which protects your skin against the UV rays daily. It has a photostable filter system for optimal UVB-UVA protection and a powerful antioxidant, Pre-Tocopheryl for enhanced cellular protection. Enriched in Avene Thermal Spring Water, recognized for its soothing and anti-irritating properties.

The Avene Eau Thermale thermal spring water is a life saver all year round. I love to leave it in the fridge so as to keep it cool and fresh in summer. I honestly spray it all the time even before makeup. It is suitable for sensitive skin. It can be used for a variety of purposes too such as sunburn, diaper rashes and more!

As you all know sunscreen is a must in summer, and I am always looking for good ones. Ones which do not take ages to sink in and ones which do not leave the skin sticky. 

The Avene Eau Thermale SPF  Spray sunscreen is just the ideal sunscreen. I like that it is in a spray form and that it doesn't really leave the skin sticky. It has a high SPF of 50 which is the recommended level. It has a broad spectrum of protection and is photostable and water resistant which means that it offers protection for several hours. Keep in mind that sunscreen should be applied should be applied multiple times during the day. It is also silicone free too.

Hydrating Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ (Face & Body) - Review

This review is long due, but this summer was just crazy. I just couldn't keep up. Although it's already September, the heat and sun in Malta is just as strong as ever. I have been extra careful this year, although I know, every year should be the same.

I find it rather a challenge to find a rather good sunblock for the body let alone for the face. This summer I was trying the AVENE Hydrating Sunscreen, which is suitable for both face and body. Although it does have that sunblock smell, it is not that overpowering. It has a quite thin consistency which doesn't remain sticky on the skin. It has broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF50+ protection with additional 24hr hydration. It is suitable for all skin types (even oily skin). 

The ingredients include:

Avobenzone (3%), Homosalate (15%), Octisalate (5%) andOctocrylene (10%) provide non-irritating broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 50+ Protection

Photostable form of Vitamin E provides a powerful anti-oxidant protection

Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes and softens the skin

Remember to Apply generously and evenly to face and/or body 15 minutes prior to sun exposure. Reapply every two hours or after 80 minutes of swimming or perspiring and immediately after towel drying.

I do love this Sunscreen as it doesn't really have that strong sunblock smell. I mean it does somewhat have a scent, which sunblock doesn't?  It does leave a little bit of a shine on the face but not that much. And the best thing is that it is not heavy on the face and it doesn't  brake me out. This was such a favourite this summer! And will surely remain a favourite of mine next year!
