Angelina Jolie has revealed what she uses to perfect her dewy complexion: Avène Water Sprays.

Her make-up artist Bruce Grayson revealed:

“To create Angelina’s Hollywood look the most important first step is to prep and prime the skin. Follow by applying a light, moisturising foundation as the base. Then, to achieve a radiant sheen use a make-up sponge sprayed with Avène Thermal Spring Water to blend concealer into the skin where needed. To complete the fresh-faced look apply a cream blusher to the apples of the cheeks.”

20 Million Avène Water Sprays are sold each year… So what is all the fuss about..?

Don’t just take our word, or the other 20 millions, a host of studies have shown the water to soothe and soften skin[1]. Recommended by dermatologists, it is also creating a buzz amongst beauty savvy celebs with both Sophie Dahl and Gwyneth Paltrow loving the spray:

“A soothing water spray for irritated skin. It’s also good as a quick refresher on a hot day. I know lots of makeup artists who use it, as it helps set makeup” says Gwyneth Paltrow

“This keeps my skin from getting dry!” says Sophie Dahl

Other celeb fans of the Thermal Water Spray include Erin O’Connor, Natalia Vodianova, Gabriella Calthorpe, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Diane Kruger and Vanessa Hudgens.

The soothing anti-irritating water comes from a spring in the south of France, which has taken a 40 year journey through the Cévennes Mountains, resulting in a naturally bacteriologically pure water with a low mineral content. It leaves a film of silica on the skin protecting the surface and leaving it feeling soft and comfortable. Thanks to the low mineral content in the water, as well as its pH 7.5 (almost neutral) balance, does not sting, burn or dry out skin and can be used on broken skin[2]
