Got Allergies? Use Eau Thermal Avène​ Skin Recovery Cream!

Caution: I really hope that you are not eating when you read this post because I included a photo of my skin with allergic reaction. So, consider yourself warned.

I am not allergic to any type of food, thank goodness; however, I have a very intolerant skin when it comes to accessories that touch my skin. Whenever I had an allergic reaction I always depend on medical treatment, which anyone should do, right? Doctors know best as they say. But, doing so could cost you more money. That is why there are creams available over-the-counter in any drugstores. Eau Thermale Avene Skin Recovery Cream is not your usual OTC creams; it’s so much more than that. 

 The Skin Recovery Cream D.E.F.I (Device for Exclusive Formula Integrity) is especially indicated for hypersensitive and irritable skin. It contains parcerine, the new active, which acts at the source of skin intolerance by acting against irritation and alteration of the skin barrier. It also has Avene Thermal Spring Water that softens the skin while reducing skin reactivity.

 All you have to do for the product to come out is to squeeze the tube lightly. Remember to be gentle to this one as it tends to be quite hard before the cream comes out. You see the small circle inside the circle? It goes down when you squeeze the tube letting the cream out, after you release it, that circle will go back to its original place to keep the product sealed. Eau Thermal Avene made it to ensures that the product inside does not come into contact with the air so there is no need to preserve the product since it remains sterile until use. Sounds nice, yes?  

The cream itself is white in color with no fragrance at all. Its consistency is a bit watery, making it easier to apply and spread throughout the face or body. I also find it heavy, so I use a small amount of the cream as possible. Don’t worry, though, because a small amount of it goes a long way – thanks to its watery consistency.

The real game starts here. Please excuse the following photo as it might gross you out. 

This happened a few weeks ago when I bought this cute necklace on the street. My neck started to feel itchy, non-stop, so I looked at the mirror and saw this.

It is gross, I know. Looking at it now makes the hair on my body stand. You might think I’m crazy, but the first thing I thought about was how perfect it for my Avene Skin Recovery Cream review. Ha! Immediately, I applied a generous amount of the cream to it. Not more than half a day later (8 hours later, yeah, I counted), the redness and those small dots lessened. I did not notice when the itchiness has left, but it was long gone even after I took this photo. Twenty-four hours later, you can barely notice anything, it’s almost gone!  There are still very few of those dots left, but you can hardly see it. I used Avene Skin Recovery Cream only twice, mind you. 

So yeah, Avene Skin Recovery Cream is true to its claims. I now use it every time I have skin breakout and it helps, big time. It does not help avoid leaving dark spots, though, but if you keep your skin clean, it’ll do the trick.

Eau Thermale Avène Micellar Lotion Review + Event Photos

Did you ever feel like going straight to your bed after your long day at school or work? But then you realized that you still have your makeup on? I know, right?

Due to my late schedule in school, I always end up going home later than usual. And when I get home, all want to do is lie on my bed and go to sleep. However, I should at least remove my makeup before anything. If I am wearing a waterproof eyeliner and mascara, removing it will take a few more minutes. I have to grab my oil-based makeup remover, and wash my face afterwards (and wash away my sleepiness altogether). But now that Eau Thermale Avène Micellar Lotion has a new No rinse formula, two minutes is all I need to completely remove and clean my face!

Eau Thermale Avène’s New Formula Micellar Lotion has a top-of-the-line makeup removing efficacy. Its micellar cleansing agent captures skin impurities like a magnet. It is proven effective on waterproof and long-lasting cosmetic products applied on the face, eyes and lips. Its upgraded Micellar Lotion has a unique formula that adapts to even the most sensitive skin.

Avène Micellar Lotion, although not oil-based, can remove even the most stubborn makeup you have and does not feel sticky at all. Now that it has a new formula, you don’t have to rinse it after removing your makeup. It has 93% Avène Thermale Spring Water content that makes the skin softer, smoother, and restores its natural balance.

Because my makeup focuses on the eyes, this is the part that I remove first. Remember: Don’t just swipe your eye makeup remover in haste. Place a cotton ball with remover over your lids, hold it for a minute to dissolve the product, and then wipe away.  

Four to five drops of Avène Micellar Lotion is enough to remove my eye makeup. I usually have a hard time removing my eyeliner (because of I always tight line my eyes), but with Avène Micellar Lotion, I can get all the eyeliner on my eyes in two swipes. No traces of makeup left.

Another strong point of Avène Micellar Lotion is that it doesn’t sting. So, if ever you use too much of the micellar lotion, you won’t feel anything, especially on the eye area. It also contains healing properties—soothing, anti-irritating and anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-free radicals—that make it suitable for allergic reactions, burning, stinging, itching and tingling sensations.

With Avène Micellar Lotion, I don’t have to worry about my skin being dry after cleansing, because of its hydrating action. It’s really perfect during lazy days, when you don’t want to get up and wash your face, this Micellar lotion will do the cleansing and moisturizing for you.

I thought you might want to see a few photos during the launching of Avène Micellar Lotion at Salon Beauvior in Makati.
