Renowned for its soothing properties, Avène’s sunscreen range harnesses the restorative power of thermal spring water to alleviate and calm a range of skin concerns while keeping your skin safe in the sun. Available in a variety of formulations, Avène creates face sunscreen for sensitive skin, sunscreen for children, and sunscreen for hypersensitive skin, ensuring that delicate skin stays free from irritation and sun damage. Chatting with Melanie, Avène's Medical Expert, we discovered more about Avène's Thermal Spring Water-enriched sunscreen.
Gentle, lightweight, and highly protective, Avène create some of the best protective sunscreen on the market, infusing them with additional ingredients that rejuvenate ageing skin, soothe redness, balance oily or dry skin, and calm sensitive and reactive skin, keeping your complexion clear, nourished and youthful as you frolic in the sun.
The Benefits Of Thermal Spring Water-Infused Sunscreen
A beneficial ingredient in sunscreen, particularly if your skin is sensitive or dry, thermal spring water nourishes your skin from within, the mineral-rich formula healing and soothing your skin to keep it free from dryness and irritation.
Brimming with calcium, magnesium, and silica, this natural thermal spring water replenishes lost nutrients in your skin, whilst hydrating, soothing, and calming as it protects, counteracting the damage caused by the sun, keeping your skin radiant and glowing without irritation or redness.
Gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin, Avène’s thermal water-enriched sunscreen range is perfect for children or skin prone to eczema and rosacea, their lightweight and effective formulas calming redness, while shielding sensitive skin from further sun-induced irritation.
Melanie shares: "Up to 80% of skin damage is done on a day today basis. If we all get in the habit of applying [sunscreen] every day, we no longer think about it. An easy tip when applying is to use two full finger lengths of SPF on our first and second finger then allow it to dry down. I love Avène Very High Protection Tinted SPF50+ Cream as I have dry skin. It is a broad spectrum and protects against UVB and UVA but also high energy Blue Light. Our sun filter, TriAsorbTM is the only organic sun filter to protect into the visible light spectrum, which is amazing for everyone, but especially those worried about pigmentation, as this tinted sunscreen is formulated with iron oxides that protects against pigmentation."
Avène Very High Protection Range
Providing maximum protection against the sun, the formulas in this range offer SPF50+, UVA, UVB, and blue light protection, making it perfect for people who want maximum sun protection when they’re pursuing outdoor activities or spending longer periods outside in the sun.
Formulated to soothe a variety of skin conditions while shielding against the sun, this range is suitable for normal and combination skin, children, sensitive, and oil-prone complexions, providing maximum sun protection while nurturing your skin.
Melanie explains: "Avène’s Intense Protect 50+ is the first SPF that we launched with our own proprietary sun filter TriAsorbTM. It took 20 years with expert scientists working tirelessly to develop this innovative new sun filter and it's the first organic sun filter on the market with a unique hybrid ability to absorb and reflect the suns rays. This sunscreen protects against UVB rays, UVA short and long rays, and also high energy visible (HEV) blue light up to 350 nm. More research is emerging about the importance of protecting against HEV blue light along with UVA and UVB rays. We know it can increase the damaging effects of UVA alone by 1.5 times and we also know that HEV blue light from the sun is much more powerful than from our devices. Avène’s Intense Protect 50+ features an ultra-light texture and invisible finish that absorbs into your skin in three seconds without white streaks. It's suitable for use on your entire family's face and body, including babies from six months and offers eight hours of protection. It's also ultra sweat, and water resistance as well as fragrance free so suitable for the most sensitive of skin.
