French women use thermal water to soothe skin

Thermal water, popular among French women, is gaining recognition for its ability to soothe and heal irritated skin, offering relief from conditions like rosacea. Experts highlight thermal water's anti-inflammatory properties, attributed to minerals absorbed from rock beds, making it beneficial after procedures like peels or for conditions with compromised skin barriers. It differs from micellar water and hypochlorous sprays by focusing on calming and strengthening the skin. Used as a ritual in France for generations, thermal water is often sourced from spa towns and is sometimes classified as medicinal, backed by research and used in skin therapy for conditions like eczema.
