| Author | Topic: Cleansing face with Evian water? |
| Thespian 08-02-2002 05:26 AM | Good day. I was wondering if cleansing my face with evian water is a good thing or a bad thing. If so what should I use? |
| Wai 08-02-2002 05:33 AM | quote:That totally depends on the levels of minerals it contains. I don't have a bottle here, maybe you do; what are the levels of sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl) and calcium (Ca) in Evian water? Then I can tell you whether using Evian is okay. quote:Besides using low-mineral waters like El Dorado, Volvic, Aytaç or Montcalm, you can perfectly use Rosewater and cucumber juice for more intense cleansing. Rosewater you can buy in shops like The Body Shop. Cucumber juice/oil you can easily make yourself; simply blend a cucumber in a mixer, or (even better) use a juice extractor. |

| Thespian 08-06-2002 09:28 PM | quote:It is doing okay. I have yet to stay on the diet for two weeks. I will start it over again tommorow. Evian contains the following minerals. Calcium 78, magnesium 24, silica 14, bicarbonate 357, sulphates 10, chlorides 4, nitrates 1, and it has a neutral ph of 7.2. Here from you soon. Up Up and Awaiiiiiiiiiii.=) |
| Wai 08-07-2002 11:54 AM | quote:Per L I guess, right? How much sodium does it contain? In comparison, the contents of Montcalm (in mg / L): Calcium: 3 Magnesium: 0.6 bicarbonates: 5 sulphates: 7 clorides: 0.6 nitrates: 0.9 and Sodium: 1.5 So, Evian is not a low mineral water. However, this does not HAVE to be essential regarding acne, since it is individually different to what extend this leads to dehydration of the outer skin and a subsequent increase in the production of sebum. It is one of the 'sample diet' rules because the diet is about eliminating all possible causes. Yes, it is best to cleanse your face with low mineral water only (regarding the aging of the outer skin cells. But once you have cleared your skin from acne, you might discover that cleansing your face with non-low mineral water, does not cause acne in you. |
