- The Beauty Benefits of Thermal Water
Way (way, way) back in the day—think: ancient Roman times—people would seek out natural hot springs where they could bathe in the mineral-rich thermal waters. Taking the water—as it’s called in the spa world—can uplift your mind, body, and spirit. One of the world’s chicest locations to take the waters during the first century was the town of Vichy, France. The small town became a notable spa destination where the who’s who of society would come to soak in the benefits...literally. Fast forward to today and Vichy’s Mineralizing Thermal Water is still making waves.
Vichy’s Mineralizing Thermal Water
While the water—which is infused with 15 rare minerals including iron, potassium, calcium, and maganese—flows through thousand-year old volcanic rock and warms nearly 4,000 meters underground in France, you don’t need to hop onboard a plane (or have a royal title) to get your hands on it. At the heart of each and every Vichy product lies this mineral-rich water and (surprise!) they can often be found at your local drugstore. (The brand’s Aqualia product collection by Vichy holds the highest concentration of this mineral-rich thermal water.) You can also go directly to the source and give your skin a spritz of the Mineralizing Thermal Water before or after using moisturizer—or anytime you want to refresh your complexion!
The Benefits of Vichy’s Mineralizing Thermal Water
Thermal Water Benefit #1: Fortify the Skin
While most skin sprays can help soothe and hydrate, Vichy’s mineral-rich water can also help to fortify your skin. This helps to strengthen it against external aggressors like pollution.
Thermal Water Benefit #2: Rebalance the Skin
Have hard water at home? Vichy’s Mineralizing Thermal Water can help to rebalance your skin’s pH balance which can be thrown off by the drying alkaline-effects of hard water.
Thermal Water Benefit #3: Moisturize the Skin
When you feel parched you have a glass of water. When your skin feels parched, give it a spritz. Vichy’s Mineralizing Thermal Water can help to moisturize on the go! Refreshment at its best.
