Avène Thermal Spring Water

face mist (Avene thermal water or rose hydrosol mist)

One of the things that's helping me is spraying Avene thermal water on my face in between steps, I wash my face and leave it slightly damp, spray, essence, serum, spray again, then immediately lock it in with an occlusive.

Then I apply Aestura 365 Lotion to damp skin (I usually spritz Avene Thermal Water). Wait for that to absorb before applying Bondi Sands Hydra Face Fluid SPF50. I then spritz again with Avene Thermal Water before applying make up (Bellapierre mineral powder).

I’ve done something along those lines albeit for a wildly different autoimmune condition with skin involvement, although if memory serves I did make occasional use of spritzes of avene thermal water and “washed” my face every so often with colloidal/super finely ground oatmeal (just bc that was the least irritating thing I could think of + I wanted some means of very gentle exfoliation to avoid dermatitis neglecta or things along those lines). No great rationale for the thermal water, it just felt nice and also seemed highly unlikely to be irritating.

My current routine is: - Avene Thermal Water
