Skin:what are the benefits of thermal water?

A pschitt and it's better. When it is hot or the skin feels tight, thermal water is recommended to soothe it. A brief overview of the benefits of this water.

Thermal water:what is it?

The term "thermal water" is not a marketing concept:it designates groundwater which has naturally become enriched in minerals and trace elements in contact with the rock. Thus, each water is different, depending on the region in which it passed. Some are richer in soothing mineral salts, others have antioxidant or moisturizing active ingredients... but all are suitable for sensitive skin:it is no coincidence that there are spa treatments where water is used to treat certain diseases (especially osteoarthritis).

Many benefits

For the skin, the first source of hydration is the water we drink. Cosmetic treatments are also an important source of water. Thermal water is hydrating (and the mineral salts it contains help retain water in the skin) and above all, it can be used several times a day. Ideal when you have very dry skin and/or after sport. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, thanks to magnesium and calcium, and helps reduce skin sensitivity and relieve itching in skin suffering from eczema, rosacea or psoriasis. It also boosts the healing of the epidermis.

Many ways to use it

The use that comes to mind first is obviously to refresh the skin, by spraying the thermal water in the event of a heat stroke. It also works well on puffy eyelids. For an even cooler effect, you can keep it in the fridge. Thanks to its soothing power, it is particularly recommended after a day in the sun (to soothe a sunburn) or after hair removal. It can be used to gently cleanse the skin after removing makeup (to really remove all traces of product) or in the morning on bare skin to gently wake up the skin and give it a natural glow. Finally, used on makeup, it helps to fix it, contrary to what one might think. We squeeze it 30 centimeters from the face and absorb the excess water by tapping a tissue on the skin. The face appears fresher and less set (the "powder" effect is reduced).
