Enlarged pores, a T-zone that is shiny by midday, small blemishes that keep reappearing in the same spots, a scalp that feels weighed down two days after shampooing. They are all effects of the same process: toxins, pollution and excess sebum building up and suffocating the skin. The most common mistake is to respond with harsh, drying products: the skin reacts by producing even more sebum. The purifying and remineralizing treatments by Ischia Beauty Officine Termali take the opposite route — purifying while giving minerals back — thanks to the mud and the exclusive thermal water of Ischia.
This is where Ischia thermal water shows its most authentic nature. Hyperthermal at 70 °C, with a salso-sulfate-alkaline-earthy composition and certified for cosmetic use by prestigious Independent Italian Institutions, it is the same water that has fed the island's thermal baths for centuries. Combined with grey mineral clay, which purifies and eliminates toxins and dead cells, it gives life to Ischia Beauty's ARGILLA line: detoxifying without depleting, remineralizing what is taken away.
On the face, the purifying creamy mud face mask combines grey mineral clay, tea tree oil, sweet almond oil, sunflower seed oil and extracts of cassia angustifolia and Australian rosella: it provides hydration, remineralizes and eliminates residual impurities, and is suitable for all skin types. It is the best-suited treatment for those with blemish-prone or combination skin.
Everyday purifying, on the other hand, comes through exfoliation. Ischia Beauty's face and body exfoliating gel with smoothing and purifying action combines natural micro-granules of olive pits and jojoba ester microspheres with Piperna essential oil, a powerful antiseptic typical of the island, and tea tree essential oil with antimicrobial properties: it smooths and purifies, leaving the skin smooth, energized and radiant. You can also find it in the scrub collection.
The scalp needs to be purified and remineralized too. The invigorating and remineralizing pre-shampoo mud hair mask absorbs toxins, oxygenates the scalp and counteracts bacterial growth, with purifying clay, hydrolyzed keratin and vitamin E: particularly suitable for oily scalps. For skin where impurities come with redness and irritation, Ischia Beauty's soothing mask for red and irritated skin soothes and purifies together, with menthol, zinc oxide and allantoin with soothing and purifying properties.
Ischia Beauty recommends one or two applications a week, always followed by a hydrating face cream: a purifying treatment that is not followed by hydration leaves the skin exposed and pushes it to produce more sebum. For the complete experience from face to hair there is the ThermaMud Ritual, the brand's most iconic multi-mask ritual, while the face masks and body and hair masks collections bring together all the Ischia thermal mud treatments.
