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.

A couple of months ago I got to try a serum that suits both my skin and my wallet. I introduce to you The Beauty Worx Retinol Complex Face Serum.

The Beauty Worx Retinol Complex Face Serum

The Beauty Worx Retinol Complex Face Serum helps to cleanse and purify your skin, which assists in opening the pores and reducing the appearance of fine lines and damaged skin. Retinol helps promote and improve skin elasticity, and its anti-ageing properties help to smooth the skin by increasing and stimulating the production of new skin cells.

The Beauty Worx Retinol Complex Face Serum is lightweight, non-greasy and applies like a dream. It leaves my skin feeling soft and plump and compliments my skincare routine beautifully. Added bonus is the gorgeous packaging and the dropper that dispenses the perfect amount of product to cover your face and neck.

I agree with Beauty Worx –

Our facial serum makes loving your skin, simple and easy!

Best part … these facial serums retail for only R129 which means that these beauts will have a permanent spot on my skincare shelf. I think the Tea Tree and Collagen serum is next on my must-try list (maskne is real!).

The range is available at Dis-Chem Pharmacies.

Happy shopping!
