Peter Thomas Roth
For a natural skincare company which uses rich products and minerals, we recommend you keep a look out for Peter Thomas Roth. Founded by Peter Thomas Roth himself, this brand aims to provide the best tools for combating a range of skin concerns such as acne, anti-aging and sun protection. The secret to Peter Thomas Roth’s success is in the traditional Hungarian philosophies Roth has based his products on. During his time in Hungary, Roth helped his family run spa resorts which used the basic soothing properties of mud and minerals of Hungarian thermal springs to indulge the skin. Now in Australia, Roth has since combined these practices with the latest skin care science to create this range of products which deliver progressive and cutting-edge results. If you are looking to indulge your skin in some Hungarian skincare philosophies with a twist, try the Peter Thomas Roth Hungarian Thermal Water Mineral-Rich Moisturiser ($90) which uses miner-rich thermal water to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, uneven skin tones and textures.
