The ecosystem we live in today is changing dramatically. Pollution, diet, stress, and the modern lifestyle have led to an increase in the number of people with sensitive skin or allergies.
In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) states that 50% of the world’s population will experience allergies in the coming years, and most people will have sensitive skin.
A holistic approach to this situation involves consuming foods with anti-inflammatory properties, such as vegetables and fruits, taking antioxidant vitamins and dietary supplements, and equally, using cosmetic products with anti-inflammatory active ingredients. One of these highly effective antioxidant, anti-irritating, and anti-inflammatory cosmetic actives is thermal water.
Each mineral or thermo-mineral water is unique, because the composition of minerals and trace elements differs from one spring to another.
The thermo-saline Herculane spring water used in Ivatherm products has a significant concentration of minerals and trace elements essential for the skin — magnesium, calcium, copper, zinc, iron, manganese, and selenium — and is recognized for its soothing effect.
Moreover, its anti-inflammatory properties were recently demonstrated in a clinical study conducted and coordinated by Prof. Dr. Călin Giurcăneanu, President of the Romanian Society of Dermatology, showing a reduction in redness, edema, and skin temperature when the water was applied immediately after a dermatological procedure.
Patients under medical supervision reported a reduction in stinging, burning, and pain sensations immediately after applying the thermal water spray.
The Herculane thermal water spray is recommended in the daily skincare routine immediately after makeup removal. The thermal water should be sprayed onto the face from a distance of about 15 centimeters, left to act for 1–2 minutes, and then gently blotted away with a tissue.
