Thermal water - cosmetics based on it are distinguished by unique properties. Check which ones exactly and find out what the thermal water contains and how to use it!
Thermal water comes from deeply hidden springs, up to 6,000 meters underground. As it flows through its layers, thermal waters accumulate a lot of trace elements. In addition, under the influence of heat (the sources heat up, for example, from hot magma flowing in the depths of the earth), reactions take place in the water, resulting in the formation of new, valuable substances.
In spas, bathing in thermal waters is to support the treatment of acne, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD). They are led into the pool without additional heating - they all have an outlet of at least 20 ° C.

Use creams and lotions containing thermal water on clean skin, preferably a few minutes after washing. There are two schools of thought when it comes to spray water.
