Water spray

Question
Hello,

Do you recommend water sprays that are sold in the pharmacy (e.g. Evian, Avène…) in order to moisten the skin of CF adolescents after sport or when the weather is hot and sticky, or is there a danger to be contaminated?

Many thanks.
Answer
Dear questioner,

Using such sprays are questionable in my opinion. Why does it have to be water from a can that is atomized with blowing agent which is not very eco-friendly?
At least the producer of the Avène water spray indicate that the product is bacteriologically clean. Therefore, there should not be a problem with bacterial contamination.
I wish you a refreshing summer.
