    Excellent in both summer and winter

    Thermal water from Vichy definitely deserves attention. In the summer it will help refresh the skin, and in the winter I use it before applying day and night cream. I spray some water on the skin and after 5 minutes apply the cream. With this water, the skin feels more comfortable and better absorbs everything useful from facial care products.

    Vichy

    I have been using this thermal water for many years. I’ve tried many pharmacy brands, but it’s not the same... Either the spray is inconvenient, not as finely dispersed as Vichy’s, or the sprayer quickly breaks down, doesn’t spray with a mist, but simply leaks... with Vichy cans there are no such frailties. Plus, the water itself has a perfectly balanced (for me personally) composition, which does not tighten or dry the skin, does not cause irritation, and many thermal pharmaceutical waters with a more saturated mineral (salt) composition are guilty of this... In general, excellent in all respects water!

    There is probably not a single person who has not heard the name out of the corner of their ear at least once in their life. Vichy. Moreover, the first, and most correct, association associated with this name is Vichy cosmetics.

    Vichy thermal water

    If we talk about Vichy water, then quite naturally, everyone familiar with Vichy medicinal cosmetics will think of Vichy thermal water, shown in the photo on the left. At the same time, few people know that in addition to medicinal cosmetics, which includes the famous Vichy thermal water, is no less famous in Europe, but practically unknown to anyone in our country, Vichy mineral water. This will be discussed in this article.

    The main place where the sources of this wonderful mineral water– a small town of Vichy in central France, whose name is known throughout the world thanks to the medicinal cosmetics produced here based on Vichy thermal water.

In the 19th century, Vichy became the most famous and popular balneological resort in France; titled persons, bankers and industrialists came here. The spa services of the Vichy resort are also popular these days - celebrities regularly come here during breaks between filming films and tours, financial magnates tired of investing in PAMM accounts, and just tourists from different countries Europe who want to relax their soul and body.

    Today, Vichy, located a little over three hundred kilometers south of Paris, is one of the largest resort centers in Western Europe. In total, the resort has more than two hundred mineral springs, six of which are drinking.

Its medicinal properties are recognized by specialists all over the world. Vichy mineral water is recommended for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, musculoskeletal system, and metabolic disorders.

    Interestingly, despite the fact that more than 200 million bottles are sold per year Vichy mineral water(full name Vichy Saint Yorre) worth more than 50 million Euros, it is almost impossible to try it in Russia. Therefore, there is only one way left - to go to the thermal resort of Vichy, so that in the intervals between water treatments in numerous local balneological centers and walks along the famous resort promenade, appreciate and enjoy the unique taste of the famous Vichy mineral water. Containing quite a lot of natural carbon dioxide, but at the same time extremely soft and delicate in taste, chilled Vichy mineral water is an ideal aperitif drink.

    The resort itself, in addition to tasting the wonderful Vichy water, can offer walks through its many parks, the most famous of which are the Auvergne Volcanic Park and the Pierre the Clown Sports Park. The buildings of hotels and spas, built in the Empire architectural style, which came into fashion during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, are very attractive. Vichy is a city of elegant boutiques and a variety of cultural events. The lake located on the territory of the town even hosts sailing regattas and rowing competitions. In the summer evenings there are performances in the open-air summer opera house. There are several medieval castles around Vichy.

This is one of the main parts of comprehensive dermal care. The mineralized composition enhances the protective functions of the epithelium and gives it a natural radiance.

    What it is

    A product based on water obtained from thermal springs is called “thermal”. Its advantages lie in the presence of a huge amount of useful elements and vitamins, which means that such a liquid has the property of caring for the skin and restoring the epidermis. The product contains microelements such as zinc, magnesium, calcium and silicon. The carbonate compounds contained in the composition soften and mattify the dermis. Zinc inclusions fight inflammation, and selenium promotes antioxidant charge of the skin and prevents epithelium from fading. Thermal water has a calming effect, is recommended for all skin types and has no contraindications.


    Vichy uses natural water extracted from the volcanic rocks of France as the basis for its products. On the territory of Auvergne (a nature reserve), there are thermal springs, the depth of which is about 4000 meters, and the water temperature is 130 degrees Celsius. The liquid passes through many earthly rocks and layers, being saturated with a huge amount of minerals and vitamins, before reaching the laboratory. Fifteen valuable microelements from the depths of the earth saturate Vichy thermal products. The human body cannot produce these on its own rare minerals, so they are vital in skin care products.


    Properties

    Water, high content healthy salts from the Vichy company, has a pure composition, is hypoallergenic and is suitable for any skin type. Its properties:

    • soothes, relieves itching and redness of the face– the composition contains calcium, due to which the calming effect is enhanced several times;
    • saturates the dermis with oxygen, accelerates metabolic processes between cells, which has only a positive effect on the skin - it acquires radiance and an even tone;
    • has an antioxidant effect, which is due to the presence of selenium in the composition;
    • restores fat and water-salt metabolism inside the skin, thanks to zinc and sulfur;
    • maintains hydration level. However, it should be remembered that a thermal remedy cannot restore the water level and saturate the dehydrated and dry dermis - only retain the existing moisture inside the cells;
    • strengthens– liquid from Vichy activates catalase in the epithelium. This enzyme protects cells from chemical carcinogens. Its action is due to the binding of free forms of oxygen to radicals during their formation. This means that thermal water removes not only impurities, but also toxins. Skin after 30 years sharply reduces the production of the enzyme, which affects the overall tone of the dermis. Official studies have proven that the use of Vichy thermal products accelerates the production of catalase compounds by 20% and helps activate the protective functions of the skin;
    • improves health. Restoring the optimal balance (in other words, a buffering effect) is possible thanks to a composition whose acidity is close to natural indicator– pH 6.7. Therefore, thermal waters heal the skin and restore its balance. The protective layer is not destroyed even after aggressive exposure (scrubs, peelings and weather conditions).


    Compound

    • calcium– promotes the regeneration of the dermis, protects cell membranes from negative impact environment;

    • manganese– is a natural antioxidant;
    • fluorine– helps strengthen blood vessels;
    • potassium– moisturizes, relieves excess swelling, retains moisture inside the cells;
    • silicon– restores skin cleansing functions;
    • magnesium– activates the regeneration of the skin, evens out the complexion;
    • sodium– regulates metabolic processes between the layers of the dermis, promotes hydration;
    • sulfur– removes toxins, protects the epithelium from free radicals;
    • boron– restores damaged areas of the epidermis;
    • lithium– has an antiseptic effect;
    • strontium– eliminates inflammation, narrows pores;
    • bicarbonate– buffer properties;
    • ammonium– activates the synthesis of skin amino acids;
    • orthophosphate– nourishes cells from the inside, energizes them.



    Advantages and disadvantages

    One of the main advantages of Vichy thermal waters is their extraction method. Quality control occurs at all stages. During extraction, the product is tested according to six microbiological indicators and its chemical and physical properties. In order to preserve all the useful minerals in the composition and at the same time purify the water to a crystalline state, it is subjected to soft filtration. After this, the liquid is poured into sealed containers and delivered to the Vichy plant. There she goes through the second stage: a test based on five key indicators - appearance, aroma, structure, water balance and composition.
