I love using Uriage’s isotonic Thermal Water; not only does it help soothe and protect skin, but it also adds a boost of hydration. Although I admittedly use it every morning, I also love to use it after exercising. I always get red, flushed cheeks (don’t we all!) so I cleanse my face after exercise and instantly spritz the water onto my complexion to cool, refresh and calm skin.” – Kate, Communications and Campaigns Assistant. About nitrogen, I also found a study that says: „The incidence of allergic asthma has risen steadily over the last 20 years and now represents a significant health and financial burden. Reasons for this rise remain unclear, but increases in ambient pollutant levels, such as the oxidant, nitrogen dioxide (NO2),3 correlate with the increased incidence of allergic sensitization, asthma, and wheeze (1, 2). NO2 is a toxic-free radical gas that is a component of air pollution (1, 3) and is also formed in the lung during inflammation (4). NO2 has been implicated in the aggravation of asthma, particularly in children (1, 5–8). We and others have demonstrated that NO2 inhalation is injurious to the lung and can augment the degree of allergic airway inflammation and prolong allergen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness in rodent models of asthma (9, 10).” Thermal baths have been used for medicinal purposes for hundreds of years,” says Zeichner. “Many of the natural thermal springs are rich in minerals like sulfur, which has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.”

Over the years, I’ve tried many water sprays, but Ultra 8 is the one I choose when my skin feels extra sensitive (choose this one if your skin reacts with alcohol or fragrance in products – as it has none). Its minimal formulation is enriched with ingredients that attract moisture to the upper layers of the skin (glycerin) too.” – Chelsey, Communications and Campaigns Manager. Thermal spring water is safe for all ages and all skin types: it’s the true do-it-all of the skincare world. Oily and acne-prone skin types may actually benefit from thermal spring water due to its soothing properties, as it will minimize the redness and irritation that is often associated with acne. The Thermal Spring Water Spray can be used daily, after cleansing the face, to remove residual impurities. When applied before skincare products, it prepares the skin and makes them easier to apply. What makes this different? This water is naturally isotonic, which means it’s in perfect osmosis with the skin and respects skin cells without altering them. It’s also the most active thermal water.

The atmosphere in there is different from the one you have in here,” Ricardo Escudero, my guide and PR representative of Avène Dermatological Laboratories told me through a translator. “There is no contamination possible. If you count the number of living particles in the air: A particle is one micrometer, the ones inside are 0.5 micrometers. That means the air [in the production facility] is really purer than the air you breathe.”

I learnt in a recent #NightInWithEscentual, that after washing your face, you only have 60 seconds before your skin starts needing moisture. Now I keep water sprays in my bathroom, bedroom and handbag to make sure my skin never gets thirsty. Is this the one for your skin? If ageing and dehydration are two of your skin concerns, this would be a great choice. Yes, you definitely can! If your skin feels a little dry and tight after cleansing, a spritz of thermal spring water will help you restore a sense of comfort and provide much-needed hydration. Mist your face, enjoy the refreshing feeling, and then proceed with your skincare routine as usual, layering on your serum or moisturizer.La Roche-Posay, Uriage and Avène thermal waters have been found to protect cells from UV-related damage in vitro. Additionally, mice treated with a cream containing La Roche-Posay developed tumours slower than control groups after UVB exposure. A La Roche-Posay thermal water cream also reduced the formation of sunburn cells in human volunteers after UVB exposure. Research suggests bathing in hot mineral water impacts the body’s immune and hormone systems, which may lead to anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, and antioxidant effects.
