I bet you saw the term thermal water in the title of this post and thought: “Lol, this is just water, what can be so extraordinary about it?”. I had a similar feeling a few weeks ago. However, for some reason I wanted to comprehend what thermal water really is. Now I know why my face cream is so effective. I also understood what makes spritzing face skin a couple of times a day with thermal water so crucial for keeping the skin healthy.
What is thermal water?
Let me begin with saying that this isn’t just some water. Thermal water comes from deep underground; actually its sprouts are located even 3,000 meters beneath Earth’s surface. Its phenomenon is owed to the fact that groundwater moves through various geologic formations of rock and soil and thus gathering minerals and elements.
Thermal water in skincare – why is it so precious?
The paragraph above answers this question perfectly, doesn’t it? I can say that thermal water is like a skin tonic produced by mother nature.
I think telling you that thermal water brims with minerals and elements isn’t descriptive enough. So, let me tell you what its components are. Thermal water contains mineral salts such as calcium hydrogen carbonate, magnesium hydrogen carbonate and silicates. Additionally, thermal water carries a heavy load of trace elements such as lithium, calcium, iron, manganese, potassium, selenium, copper, strontium, zinc, fluorine, calcium.
Thermal water – for who? how does it work?
Well, thermal water is… for everyone. Simply. Thermal water serves all skin types at all ages. Believe me or not, but thermal water is also dedicated for delicate skin of newborns. It’s proven beneficial for those who suffer from atopic dermatitis and eczema. Furthermore, thermal water reduces inflammation, soothes and revives the skin. I think I should also add that thermal water is good at nourishing, relieves itchiness and encourages skin to heal wounds faster. It’s also worth realizing that thermal water is recommended to those who expose their skin to some invasive in-salon treatments such as microdermabrasion or laser treatments. Finally, those of you with dehydrated or oily skin can use thermal water to combat all skin concerns.
Thermal water – directions for use
I’d wholeheartedly encourage you to visit some health resort where you can take thermal water baths, massages and all that stuff. Such places also sell bottled thermal water.
When you choose a spray thermal water, you can use it just like you do it with a floral water – spritz your face with it. Apart from that, you can try some balms and creams that are formulated with thermal water. Naturally, use them the same way you use any regular face cream. There are no restrictions when it comes to applying skincare products with thermal water. Basically, you can use them all year long, round the clock.
I’m sure you’ll appreciate how wonderful they work when you spend much time in heated rooms. Oh, and obviously you can use thermal water instead as a regular skin toner. And finally, you can also spritz thermal water on the freshly shaved and even sunburned skin.
