            No matter our age, we desire a fresh face with radiant skin.

            However, when we start to see fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of skin tone, we flock to skincare products with hopes of embracing youthful skin and restoring our self-confidence.

            Because the stress of everyday life can cause stressed skin, the actual symptom of poor skin health isn’t always due to age itself. Environmental stressors can cause much of the wear and tear we associate with ageing.

            Furthermore, environmental stressors are found everywhere and can cause damaged and “aged” skin regardless of age. Some environmental stressors are:

            • Pollutants/irritants/toxins
            • Mineral deficiencies
            • Acidic skincare

            And it’s never too late or too early for a skincare routine that encourages healthy and youthful skin. With that said, Herbal Essentials provides the ultimate beauty ingredient - Himalayan Spring Water.

            This unique skincare ingredient results in a radiant, fresh face feeling and will:

            • Detox your skin
            • Provide hydration
            • Increase your skin elasticity
            • Provide skin regeneration

            But you may be wondering...How can Himalayan Spring Water do all that?

            Himalayan Spring Water is Loaded with Minerals amd Possesses an Alkaline PH Level

            Herbal Essentials Superdrug Blog Image 2

            Herbal Essentials’ Himalayan Spring Water (HSW) offers all the beauty benefits you need.

            The water used in Herbal Essentials comes from the foothills of the Himalayas and, by the time it's collected, has been on a multi-decade journey through the Himalayan mountains travelling from the Himalayan peaks running through mineral loaded stones and terrain. This allows the water to attain an alkaline PH level and collect valuable minerals that promote fresh skin.

            Herbal Essentials HSW contains:

            • Potassium
            • Magnesium
            • Calcium

            Potassium

            To start, potassium is known to encourage a healthy epidermis — strengthening your skin's natural protection barrier. It does this by:

            • Promoting new skin cell growth
            • Redistributing the building blocks (natural fatty acids) of the skin

            Plus, it utilizes the skin’s inherent water pathways to evenly distribute water — allowing for proper water regulation and balance.

            Magnesium

            Magnesium acts as an antioxidant, a molecule that eliminates and detoxes free radicals* from the body.

            Free radicals are chaotic atoms that damage skin cells and accelerate the symptoms we recognise as ageing, such as wrinkles, age spots, and fine lines.

            But in addition to detoxing the skin, magnesium boosts the fatty acid content within your skin. As a result, you’ll see improved skin elasticity and superior hydration that leads to several benefits such as:

            • Fewer wrinkles
            • Tighter and more toned skin
            • Reduced dryness

            Calcium

            Remember how we said potassium encourages new skin cells to grow?

            Well, Calcium works hand-in-hand with potassium. In fact, due to calcium’s lipid distribution qualities, new skin cell growth is accelerated.

            In other words, calcium assists the process of skin cell regeneration by accelerating the new skin cell turnover rate.

            However, not only do new cells reach the surface faster, Calcium is known to support accelerated skin healing — helping to diminish:

            • Marks
            • Redness

            Clearly, the mineral content within HSW encourages a fresh face, but its alkaline PH levels provide remarkable skin results.

            What's an Alkaline PH Level?

            Himalayan Spring Water has a PH level of 7.8, which makes it alkaline in nature. This alkaline PH level is what allows HSW to contain a high mineral content.

            Furthermore, this means that Herbal Essentials skincare products are not acidic. And thank goodness.

            Because acidic skincare can cause numerous skincare issues such as:

            • Dryness
            • Redness

            In fact, Herbal Essentials skincare (LINK TO BRAND PAGE) does the opposite as it balances and neutralizes the acidic PH found on your skin thus, allowing the skin to naturally repair itself and regenerate healthy skin cells — resulting in fresh, youthful-looking skin.

            Ready For a Fresh Face? Start with Herbal Essentials Multi-Award Winning Facial Cleanser Today!

            In fact, as soon as you start applying Herbals Essential’s fresh skincare, you’ll see remarkable results — it doesn't matter which product you choose. However, we suggest starting with their multi-award-winning Micellar Water as recommended by Marie Claire and Beauty Bible.

            “I much preferred this to my usual cleanser, much easier, fuss-free and left my skin feeling better. I really enjoyed using this micellar water; I’ve never used one before as I assumed they were just for removing makeup, but this product has converted me. I love it! It says it removes makeup and impurities from the skin to leave it clean and comfortable, and it absolutely lives up to this. My skin felt soft, hydrated and refreshed. A lovely product to use, and I would 100% buy it again” (Source: Beauty Bible Awards)
