Thermal Water: The Ultimate Skin Care Multitasker

It seems as though these days we’re constantly juggling ten things at once. Between deadlines at work, running errands, meeting up with our friends, or spending time with our family, the to-do list can feel overwhelming, leaving us with very little time when it comes to ourselves. But you should never let a busy life become an excuse to forget about number one—and this is where beauty routine multitaskers come in! While a two-in-one product is great—we’re looking at you, moisturizer plus SPF—wouldn’t it be nice to get your hands on a skin care product that has even more benefits? Turns out La Roche-Posay’s famed thermal water—a favorite among French girls—boasts five uses that you can easily incorporate into both your skin care routine and your busy life. We detail each of the perks of thermal water—the ultimate skin care multitasker—below!

#1: It’s Beneficial for All Skin Types

Take a look at your current skin care lineup and chances are most of your favorite products have been formulated with your unique skin type in mind. Not thermal water. This equal-opportunity ingredient can benefit each skin type—including sensitive! So, not only will it become your go-to spritz, you’ll also be able to share it with your loved ones.

#2: It’s Portable & Perfect for Use On-the-Go

While most skin care products can only be used during those two times a day you dedicate to your routine, thermal water can be used throughout the day. The major benefit of thermal water is that these sprays can be stored at your desk, in your purse or gym bag, your beach bag, and—if you can get your hands on a travel-sized bottle—your carry-on, so they can be used when and where your skin needs a little extra boost of refreshment throughout the day!

#3: It’s Soothing & Refreshing

Long day? Hard workout? Layover at the airport? It’s likely that your skin could use a little soothing pick-me-up. La Roche-Posay’s Thermal Spring Water helps to soothe skin that’s in need of a little TLC. In fact, it’s so gentle it can be used on children and babies!

#4: It’s a Great Toner

After cleansing your skin can feel a little stripped of hydration, which is why applying a moisturizer is so necessary post-wash. But before you layer on your moisturizer consider giving your skin a spritz of thermal spray which can act as a toner!

#5: Protects the Skin from Free Radicals

Turns out, the sun’s harmful UV rays aren’t the only thing to blame for premature signs of skin aging. Another factor to consider—and one that we’re subjected to every day—is pollution. Free radicals can attach to the fibers that give skin its youthful appearance, breaking them down over time. Antioxidants can help give those free radicals an alternative partner to cling on to, so using products formulated with them—underneath your broad-spectrum SPF of course—is key! La Roche-Posay’s Thermal Spring Water is formulated with naturally antioxidant-rich water to protect the skin from free radicals.

With five great benefits, it’s definitely time to start using thermal water—the ultimate skin care multitasker—in your routine!
