Thermal water and its use in dermocosmetics

Thermal water is a natural ingredient that has been used for healing and care purposes for centuries. In recent years, it has gained particular popularity in the field of dermocosmetics, where it is appreciated for its unique properties and benefits for sensitive skin. In this article, we will take a closer look at this phenomenon of nature, find out what its uses and benefits are for our health and beauty, and also provide the advantages and benefits of its use.

3  features of thermal water:

1. Hypotonic

Thermal water is characterized by hypotonicity, which means that its concentration of mineral salts is lower than the concentration in human body fluids. Thanks to this, thermal water is easily absorbed by the skin, penetrating deep into its structure and intensively moisturizing the cells. The effect? The skin becomes soft, elastic and radiant.

2. Hyperthermal

Thermal water is hyperthermal, which means it has an elevated temperature. The warmth of thermal water has a relaxing effect on the skin, stimulating blood circulation and accelerating the processes of cell regeneration. In addition, heat helps in better absorption of valuable minerals contained in thermal water.

3. Low-mineralized

Thermal water is low in minerals, which means it contains a small amount of mineral salts. Thanks to this, it is gentle and safe even for the most sensitive skin, prone to irritation and allergies. Low mineralization minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and provides relief to the skin.

What is thermal water?

Thermal water is natural water coming from deep layers of the earth, which has unique features resulting from its origin and composition. Unlike ordinary spring water, thermal water is rich in trace elements, microelements and mineral salts that give it healing and care properties.

The origin of thermal water is related to geothermal processes occurring in deep layers of the earth. This water is heated by the heat of the earth and then moves towards the surface, passing through different rock layers. During this process, the water is enriched with trace elements and microelements, which give it unique properties.

The composition and effect of thermal waters depend on the presence of various trace elements and microelements that influence their properties. Thermal water contains elements such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, silicon, sulphur and selenium. Each of them plays an important role in skin care, influencing its hydration, regeneration, soothing irritations and having anti-inflammatory properties.

Properties and benefits of thermal water

The properties of thermal water are due to its unique composition, rich in trace elements, microelements and mineral salts. Thanks to this, thermal water has a number of benefits for health and beauty, such as anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, soothing and regenerating effects.

The mineral properties of thermal water are the result of the presence of mineral salts such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and sulphur. These ingredients play a key role in skin care, influencing its hydration, regeneration, soothing irritations and having anti-inflammatory properties. For example, magnesium soothes the skin, calcium strengthens its protective barrier, and sulphur speeds up the healing of minor wounds.

The soothing properties of thermal water make it an ideal solution for people with sensitive skin, prone to irritation or allergies. Thermal water soothes redness, itching and tightness of the skin, bringing relief and comfort. Thanks to this, it can be used as an addition to daily care, and as a soothing agent after cosmetic or dermatological treatments.

Thermal water in dermatology: Treatment of skin diseases

Thermal water in dermatology is used to treat various skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and regenerating properties, thermal water supports skin healing processes, alleviates the symptoms of diseases and accelerates their resolution. In some cases, thermal water can be used as a complement to traditional treatment methods, and in others as an alternative for people who cannot tolerate certain medications or cosmetics.

The effects of thermal waters include primarily their anti-inflammatory effect and skin moisturization. Thermal water helps reduce inflammation, soothes redness and irritation, and supports the regeneration of the epidermis. Thanks to its moisturizing properties, thermal water maintains the appropriate level of skin hydration, preventing it from drying out, becoming rough or flaking. As a result, the skin becomes soft, elastic and radiant.

The use of thermal water is very wide, from skin care to its use in dermocosmetics. Thermal water can be used both as a standalone product and as an ingredient.

Thermal water for acne-prone skin can help reduce inflammation, soothe redness and speed up the healing of blemishes.

Thermal water for oily skin can help regulate sebum secretion, making the skin less shiny and less prone to blackheads.

Thermal water for atopic skin can provide relief from itching, redness and dry skin, as well as support the regeneration of the epidermis.

Thermal water for sensitive skin means maximum soothing of skin irritations and redness as well as comfort and relief from the feeling of tightness.

Dermedic products with thermal water

All Dermedic products are based on hyperthermal water. This water is originally pure, low-mineralized, of a sodium-silica-calcium bicarbonate character.

It owes its microbiological purity and exceptionally favourable arrangement of minerals to 27,000 years of penetration through layers of aquifer rocks located at a depth of over 2,100 meters underground. It is extracted using an artesian system, at a temperature of 50 to 75 degrees Celsius, thanks to which it maintains ideal microbiological purity. This water contains an exceptionally beneficial arrangement of minerals, supporting the therapeutic effects of DERMEDIC products.

The diverse composition gives the thermal water therapeutic potential for the skin, thanks to individual minerals:

- calcium - supports the regeneration process, has a soothing and anti-allergic effect on atopic and hypersensitive skin, has a gentle astringent and anti-inflammatory effect

- magnesium with a toning effect and delaying the aging process

- iron improves skin tone, iron ions oxygenate cells

- silicon - strengthens blood vessels, increases the elasticity and resistance of the epidermis, creates a protective layer thanks to the silicon content

- sodium and potassium regulate the level of skin hydration and lubrication

- sulphur derivatives - sulphates eliminate acne lesions.

In addition, thermal water  has a soothing and calming effect. Supports the skin regeneration process and prevents irritation.

Dermedic products with thermal water are a wide range of products that use its moisturizing, soothing and anti-inflammatory properties to alleviate problems and symptoms associated with sensitive skin.
