Spring all year

I love this product. I use it all year round. It. It is a breath of spring any day. It just feel so nice. Even my husband uses it. Love it in the summer to cool me down on a hot day. Must needed moisture anytime. I have one in my purse for whenever I need a pick me up.

Great for dry skin!

Very very hydrating! Whenever I have red patches on my face from irritation or dryness, this is the only product I trust to use on it. It works wonders and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed! Worth every penny and I recommend it to anyone that’s suffering from dry skin!

I would buy this product again and again.

My sister once told me about this product but I didn't understand what is it, so I decided to buy. I tried and I really liked. Been honest I don't know how this product works but I always feel so refreshed after using it

Amazing top on my list for purchase

I found out about this product at a modelling camp from the Beauty school there. We used it in summer before prep for make up just to cool our skin and get rid of redness. It feels absolutely amazing the fine mist. I use it after a shower, before make up as I have horribly dry skin. Use it after make up removal to add moisture to the skin. Can use on any body part after shaving, even razor burn in sensitive areas. It’s also scent free so no skin reactions from that. This product has become my favourite and is a go to on top of my list to always have!!

Amazing

I use this when my skin needs a little bit more hydration through the day. I have one at my office desk and it also feels GREAT in the summer for a little refresher when its hot outside. Would recommend.

Spenny for water, but you'll just keep finding uses!

have both the largest and the smallest bottles of this spray - one lives with my daily skincare products, and the other in my bag for travelling.

The great thing about this spray is that it has so, so many uses. And once you have it, you keep finding more!

Before I tout all the ways I love and use it for skincare, it's worth remembering that this is essentially water in a can. I wouldn't recommend drinking it, but if you happen to camp, or go to festivals, or on long trips, having a mini in your bag is just a really, really good idea, and even the littlest one should last a weekend of heavy use. Think hygiene, sunburn, overheating and bug bites.

If you don't intend to use it for skincare, and you don't care about the 'mineral' aspect, some of the rest of this review might not be too relevant to you, BUT one thing every user should know is that after you've sprayed it on, you should wait a few moments and then
PAT OR TAP THE EXCESS WATER IN /OFF.
This is because allowing the excess water spray to sit on your face for too long, will mean that it can start to evaporate off your skin, and this will take some of your important skin moisture and goodies with it.
On the bottle it says to wait a few minutes before removing the excess water, but it's going to depend on where you're using it, in terms of whether it's windy, sunny, has air-con etc. Use your own sense of judgement on this, and don't spray too much on at one time, as it's more to evaporate off. Use a little, pat it in, then repeat if necessary :)

Now, on to beauty and skincare!
... My personal favourite way to use this spray is after cleansing and toning, and before applying hyaluronic acid or skin creams. Lightly spray all over your face, wait a few moments, then PAT OR TAP IN / OFF.
After the water spray has been absorbed and any excess removed, I apply a hyaluronic acid to my face - using the spray first just gives the skin some extra water for that HA to hold on to. Similarly, using a water spray in the same way, but before applying a moisturiser in the morning or evening, just means there's a little more moisture for your creams to 'lock in'.

I use Avene water spray for a variety of other stuff too - it's just a very handy thing to have around, especially if you're 'into' skin care and makeup, and it can help to avoid a lot of the 'getting up and going to a sink/basin' that can so slow down a morning or evening routine. For example...
- Use with cotton wool to wipe makeup residue from brush handles, tweezers, mirrors, small brushes, hands etc (great when you're applying a lot of skin creams and face makeup and want to wipe down your hands between steps)
- Spray onto cotton wool or a face cloth to remove masks, cleanser residue, oil based cleaners and so forth
- Spray on to brushes if you're using an eye shadow 'wet' for richer colour
- Use to calm skin if you've used a product it doesn't like
- As a quick fix if you've overdone the powder and your face is looking 'cakey'
- On cotton buds to tidy up lipstick

And of course, it's cooling and refreshing. I have quite sensitive skin, so it's great if I'm a little red or puffy. It's absolutely NOT IRRITATING.

I have also heard of people using water sprays to set their makeup. I haven't tried this - I use a setting spray - but I can confirm that, other than non-waterproof mascara, a spritz of this over makeup won't cause the makeup to slip or budge. Just make sure you're holding the can at arms length, so you don't get too much water in one place, which can messy things up a little!

Finally... 'Minerals and Brands'
There's a lot touted about the benefits of the minerals in these sorts of mineral water sprays, but I'm not entirely convinced that they do much of anything when you apply the water topically (to your skin), so that's not my motivation in buying them. If that does happen to be what's drawing you to the product though, it's worth looking at the different mineral contents of waters online - the water La Roche Posay one uses contains much higher mineral levels than this Avene one, and I think basically tops the list for mineral content among the most readily available thermal waters, but it's always worth checking what's selling in your country. That said, the La Roche spray is also quite a bit more expensive, so for my purposes, the cheaper Avene spray is perfect

I'm on my fourth bottle and counting

This mist makes my face feel soft and fresh. I've incorporated this into my skincare routine. I spritz some to my face after I put on my toner.
I've consumed several bottles of this already. 🤣

What to love: Everything!!!
What not to love: I finish it so fast. 😭

Will always buy

It’s a great refresher. It hydrates skin. Great to use before moisturizer as well as after. It will give a boost of hydration. I always use it at night after my skin care and my face feels amazing. Great for summer heat as well

Refreshing

This is a refreshing fast mist made of spring water. It’s super gentle because of being water. I’ve repurchased this product because I love the quality and how it refreshes me so much with its fine mist when my face is hot.

Unexpected fan

I hate to say it, but I fell in love with this product. At first, I was completely baffled by this product and it's uses. Having a bottle on hand, I found this product worked wonders during the hotter days. When my skin needs a refreshing mist, this product comes in handy. I do have very dry skin and it just helps. It may sound silly, it also helps cool your skin off after it has become irritated by other factors. I like to use facial hair bleaching cream and using this product after helps keep my skin nice and happy.
