How to properly use thermal water: 3 tips to avoid damaging the skin

It’s at the height of summer that thermal water, refreshing mists and hydrosols for the face become essential items in every girl’s toiletry bag. It is understandable: cosmetics not only give a pleasant feeling of freshness, but also take care of the skin at the same time, tint it and maintain an optimal moisture balance.

However, it is not enough to spray healthy water on your face – it is important to do this according to all the rules. This is the only way the product will help not only to lift your spirits on a hot day, but also to perform all its main functions: it will soothe and soften the skin, strengthen its protective barrier and reduce inflammation. Remember 3 simple rules with which thermal water will work 100%.

If you use a cooling spray on clean skin, don’t forget to “close” it on top with your usual moisturizer. The extra layer will help moisture stay on the skin’s surface instead of evaporating into a void, leaving your face with an unpleasant tight feeling. It is better to spray thermal water between the tonic and the cream – this way it will prepare the skin in the best way for subsequent makeup.

After spraying with thermal water or moisturizing mist, give them a few minutes to do their useful work. It is best to blot the remaining drops with a clean towel – this simple measure will prevent the skin from drying out.

Bringing a bottle of thermal water with you to the beach is always a good idea. However, don’t spray it on your face in direct sunlight unless you can follow up with an SPF. Why only in this order? It’s simple: the water drops work like a lens and only increase the risk of burns.
