Avène to the rescue… again!

Avène… a name that brings a smile to my face. I have not used a single Avène product that has not impressed.  And my sensitive skin is grateful as Avène comes to the rescue yet again.

Avène to the rescue… again!

Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel

Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel is new and it is one of my all time favourites from the brand.

An all-in-one hydrating skin care solution, inspired by Japanese beauty rituals that can be used as a day cream, a sleeping mask and around the eye contour. The fresh, aqua-gel texture melts into your skin and provides a glowing, dewy look.

Firstly, the aqua-gel texture is extremely soothing and your skin will love it. Mine most definitely does. It melts into your skin leaving it feeling soft and soothed. It is also surprisingly light which makes it good for all year round. I love that it is a multi-tasker that can be used as a daily moisturizer, a sleeping mask and for eye contour care. Patented Cohederm complex provides intense hydration and the combination of Dextran Sulfate and Pre-tocopheryl helps to fight free radical attacks. It also contains a high concentration of Avène Thermal Spring Water (75%) that offers intense soothing and softening benefits. I don’t think I need to tell you how amazing this cult favourite is! A 50ml jar retails for R349 and it’s worth every cent.

Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream & Cicalfate Drying Repair Lotion

Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is brand new and personally, I am so thankful for the release of this tube. My hands have been struggling with all the sanitising and Cicalfate+ has been a godsend. This is also a multi-tasker and it works for superficial cuts, razor burn, post-epilation irritations, nappy rash, skin irritations, peri-oral irritations, sunburn, mask-related skin irritations and more. And of course eczema. RSP R209

Why does it work so well …

REPAIRING
[C+-Restore]™, a patented, postbiotic active ingredient derived from Avène Thermal Spring Water which facilitates rapid epidermal repair.

PURIFYING
The combination of copper sulfate and zinc sulfate reduces the risk of bacterial proliferation.

SOOTHING
Rich in Avène Thermal Spring Water, it soothes fragile skin.

If you suffer from eczema that results in broken skin, you need Avène’s Cicalfate Drying Repair Lotion. This fragrance-free lotion has proved to be a must. It repairs and purifies irritated, damaged and oozing skin whilst protecting against bacteria. And it’s suitable for the whole family. RSP R209.00

My face and hands thank you Avène. You really have come to the rescue yet again.

Clean in-between your teeth and #AceThatSpace with Sunstar GUM

Do you clean in-between? Sunstar GUM makes it so simple and easy to clean in-between your teeth and to #AceThatSpace every day.

Clean in-between your teeth and #AceThatSpace with Sunstar GUM

Clean in-between your teeth and #AceThatSpace with Sunstar GUM

Research indicates that only about a third of South Africans floss or clean in-between their teeth regularly. Dental experts say you need to clean between your teeth every day. Well, that’s only if you want to keep your pearly whites, well… pearly white. Or if you want to keep them, full stop. This counts for kids as well. As soon as permanent teeth start to touch, it’s important to start cleaning in-between.

Not convinced? Floss and take a whiff. If that floss has an unpleasant (read: gross) odour, it means that there’s some nasty bacteria trapped between your teeth that will cause all sorts of dental problems. And bad breath.

It’s National Oral Health Month and Sunstar GUM is on a mission to help you ‘ace that space’ and effectively clean in-between your teeth for a healthier mouth.

 

Sunstar GUM has an interdental tool for everyone, to make cleaning in-between a breeze, even if your gaps are small, you don’t have time, or you wear orthodontic braces. Have a look:

Sunstar GUM Ace That Space

GUM Bi-Direction interdental brushes are the only interdental with a bendable head, allowing you to use it in two different positions and comfortably reach even the trickiest parts of your mouth. With the rounded tip to protect the gums and ergonomically designed rubber handle, it’s comfortable and easy to use. The tapered, triangular bristles are coated with anti-bacterial chlorhexidine for super hygiene and shown to remove 25% more plaque. Available in 3 sizes, GUM Bi-Direction interdental brushes are ideal for cleaning wide gaps between the teeth, food traps, around orthodontic braces, bridges and implants. R107

Sunstar GUM Soft-Picks Advanced, the only curved dental picks on the market, are available in small, regular and large with a size for every smile and ideal for cleaning narrow or wide interdental spaces. Curved to follow the natural shape of the jaw, the innovative shape makes it easy to reach between each tooth – even those at the far back of the mouth. The soft rubber bristles gently dislodge food and plaque, whilst giving the gums a gentle micro-massage. GUM Soft-Picks Advanced are ideal for cleaning orthodontics, bridges and implants, they are safe to use, even for those with sensitive gums. Comes with a handy travel case.  R105

Designed to make between-teeth cleaning simple, fast, and effective, GUM Easy Flossers have an easy to grip handle with shred-resistant floss held at an ideal tension. Ideal for children and people who find it difficult to manage floss with their fingers. Comes with a handy travel case for on-the-go use. R65

If you have small gaps between the teeth, sensitive or receding gums, Gum Expanding Floss is ideal. GUM Expanding Floss is thin and easy to insert between teeth then cleverly expands for a more effective clean around the tooth and below the gum line. Easy to insert and provides an exceptional clean. R70

Plaque is virtually invisible and not easy to spot. GUM Red-Cote Disclosing Tablets make it easy to find plaque and which areas of your mouth need more brushing or flossing! Simply chew one of these tasty, cherry-flavoured tablets for 30 seconds after your usual oral care routine, without swallowing. It will turn plaque red, so you can brush or floss again until the teeth are completely clean. Recommended by dental professionals to help children learn to brush and clean between the teeth effectively, and for adults who want to check how well their oral care is working. R65
