LA ROCHE-POSAY THERMAL SPRING WATER {REVIEW}

Facial waters are nothing new and have been around for many years, but in recent times they have become more accessible here in South Africa with the arrival of several european skincare brands whose product range is formulated around its core ingredient 

of thermal healing waters. 

We are far more likely nowadays to include a facial water in our daily beauty regimes than ever before.

I have tried several and I have my firm favourites, but I only recently put the test the

LA ROCHE-POSAY Thermal Spring Water

Sourced in La Roche-Posay, France, this thermal spring water is naturally rich in minerals.
It calms and treats sensitive, irritated or inflamed skin but can also be used to cool and refresh all skin types.

I personally keep a water spray in my fridge throughout summer and you will always find a mini size in my bag during my travels.

It can also be used to set make-up and its safe enough to use on babies.

 Men also found it to have an instant calming effect post-shaving.

Whilst claiming to have a fine mist of micro droplets, I found the spray not to be as fine, as other facial water sprays that I have experienced.

I have my 3 favourite facial water sprays and sadly whilst I enjoyed this one from LRP it didn't have any stand out features that set it apart from any of the others.
(I will be writing a post very soon, My Top 3 Facial Waters, so watch out for that if you're interested to know which ones I highly recommend and why.)

Facial waters can be used in so many ways and several years ago I would have said that this type of product was a "nice to have" whereas now I consider it a "must have"
product in your beauty line-up.

I have reviewed several LA ROCHE-POSAY products most of which I highly recommend
for a sensitive or intolerant skin and as I always say, you don't have to suffer from a sensitive skin to use any products formulated for sensitive skins.

LA ROCHE-POSAY TOLERIANE ULTRA {REVIEW}

As you may or may not know I normally test out skincare products for

a minimum of 3 months or until the product has completely finished, 

before writing my review.

This product is the exception to that rule, as I could literally feel from the

first couple of applications that this product was going to be a hit 

with me and my skin.

The French skincare brand  LA ROCHE-POSAY is without doubt one of

my recommendations if you have a sensitive intolerant skin,

whether it be a permanent or just a temporary condition.
The TOLERIANE range of products is targeted for the most intolerant
 and very sensitive of skins and brings immediate comfort and relief.

I have been trying out several of their products recently and here are

 my reviews so far...

Cicaplast Repairing Barrier Lip Balm Review

Eye Make-Up Remover Review

Whilst I don't have a sensitive skin there are occasions when my skin 

just needs a break from my usual more active anti-ageing products .
Sometimes we get so focused (I know I do) with firming,

brightening,lifting and keeping the lines at bay, but

after 40 years of being in the business of beauty and knowing my skin 

I elect several times a year to just give my skin a break for a week or so 

and give it a "Skincare Holiday".

I basically swop out my day and night cream for one dual purpose product 

that is stripped back of all fragrance, active ingredients and just focus's on

 soothing,calming,balancing and strengthening the skin.

My past product of choice has been for several years now
 the Shea Face Soothing Fluid from L'Occitane 
and interestingly the TOLERIANE ULTRA also contains the wonderful benefits of 
Shea Butter.

L'Occitane Shea Face Soothing Fluid Review

 LA ROCHE-POSAY TOLERIANE ULTRA

 is an intense soothing cream for face and eyes and after a couple of weeks of 
use it has firmly secured a spot in my skincare arsenal.

Its rich smooth formula contains soothing and calming ingredients to help

de-sensitise the skin whilst intensely hydrating and providing all day comfort

to my skin.

This product can also be used around the eye contour and applied both

day and night, which makes this a perfect all over product for my

 "Skincare Holiday".

What I also enjoy about this product is the fact that the purity of its

contents is always ensured with the airless safe packaging technology,

especially useful as I only use periodically throughout the year.
