Avene Thermal Spring Water, 300 ml

Product Information

There are a handful of peer-reviewed studies that show that thermal waters have beneficial effects. Unfortunately, almost all of them are performed by the companies themselves, and naturally they show that their product is better than the others, so they should be taken with a grain of salt. (It’s kind of unavoidable though – independent scientists aren’t going to get funding for studying water when there’s cancer to be cured and climate change to undo.) The two best-studied thermal waters are Avène and La Roche-Posay. While this doesn’t necessarily mean that their products are better, it does mean that their effects are more substantiated, for now.

The water is clinically proven to soothe, soften, and calm even the most sensitive skin, due to the low mineral content and neutral pH that reduces sensitivity and restores skin balance.

Thermal water comes from hot springs. The water in these hot springs come from deep in the ground, where it’s heated by geothermal activity (the Earth’s natural heat which also causes lava to be molten). What’s in thermal water?

Hydrate skin. Some research suggests that using thermal water on skin can make it feel more soft, supple, and comfortable. The creamy face spray settles nicely on your face and needs to be patted dry after a couple of minutes. It’s very lightweight as it settles on the skin, and the mist has a delicate and wide reach that comfortably coats your complexion. Reduce inflammation. Thermal waters have been shown to calm irritation from harsh skin treatments like retinoids and reduce skin inflammation in eczema.

Soaking in thermal water baths is known as balneotherapy. (It’s different from hydrotherapy, which is soaking in plain tap 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.”Avène Thermal Spring Water, for example, features a 1/2 ratio of calcium to magnesium; it is also rich in silica and trace elements. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, on the other hand, is naturally rich in selenium. In balneotherapy, various minerals have been shown to penetrate and benefit skin. The most common soluble minerals include calcium, bicarbonate, silicates, iron compounds, sodium and magnesium salts, sulfur compounds, and metals, along with trace elements like selenium. Since their introduction, studies have suggested numerous health benefits of thermal baths. Thermal baths have historically been used to ease symptoms of conditions like: It’s true that some face sprays are glorified floral waters that do nothing more than cooling you down (not to be sniffed at when you’re overheating), but if you’ve got a little bit more to spend, you can also find face mists that’ll nudge you on your way to achieving your skincare goals while lowering your body temperature.
