Thermal water Vichy

The use of thermal water from Vichy is a great way to give your skin a boost of energy and freshness. This tool is used to cleanse and moisturize the skin. This is one of the main parts of the complex derma care. The mineralized compound enhances the protective functions of the epithelium and gives it a natural glow.

A remedy based on water obtained from thermal sources is called "thermal". Its advantages are in the presence of a huge number of useful elements and vitamins, which means that such a fluid has the ability to care for the skin and restore the epidermis. In the composition of the tool are trace elements such as zinc, magnesium, calcium and silicon. Carbonate compounds that are present in the composition soften and matte the dermis. Zinc inclusions fight inflammation, while selenium contributes to the antioxidant charge of the skin and prevents epithelial wilting. Thermal water is soothing, recommended for all skin types and has no contraindications.

Water, with a high content of beneficial salts from the company Vichy, has a pure composition, hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types. Her properties:

• soothes, relieves itching and facial flushing - calcium is present in the composition, due to which the calming effect is enhanced several times;
• saturates the dermis with oxygen, accelerates metabolic processes between cells, that affects the skin only positively - it acquires radiance and even tone;
• has an antioxidant effectdue to the presence of selenium;
• restores fat and water-salt exchanges inside the skinthanks to zinc and sulfur;
• maintains hydration level. However, it should be remembered that the thermal remedy cannot restore the water level and saturate the dehydrated and dry dermis — it is only possible to keep the existing moisture inside the cells;
• strengthens - Vichy fluid activates catalase in the epithelium. This enzyme protects cells from chemical carcinogens. Its action is due to the binding of free forms of oxygen with radicals, during their formation. And this means that thermal water pulls out not only pollution, but also toxins. The skin, after 30 years of age, drastically reduces the production of the enzyme, which affects the overall tone of the dermis. Official studies have shown that the use of Vichy thermal products accelerates the production of catalase compounds by 20% and contributes to the activation of the protective functions of the skin;
• heals. Restoring the optimal balance (in other words, the buffer effect) is possible, thanks to the composition, the acidity of which is close to the natural indicator - pH 6.7. Therefore, thermal waters heal the skin and restore its balance. The protective layer does not collapse even after aggressive exposure (scrubs, peels and weather conditions).

• boron - restores damaged areas of the epidermis;
• lithium - has an antiseptic effect;

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