Thermal water Vichy

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

A remedy 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 ability to care for the skin and restore the epidermis. The composition of the product contains trace elements such as zinc, magnesium, calcium and silicon. The carbonate compounds that are present in the composition soften and mattify the dermis. Zinc inclusions fight inflammation, and selenium contributes to the antioxidant charge of the skin and prevents the withering of the epithelium. Thermal water has a calming effect, is recommended for all skin types and has no contraindications.

Water, with a high content of beneficial salts from Vichy, has a pure composition, hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types. 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 affects the skin only positively - it acquires radiance and 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 levels. However, it should be remembered that the thermal agent cannot restore the water level and saturate the dehydrated and dry dermis - it can only keep the 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 oxygen forms with radicals during their formation. And this means that thermal water draws out not only pollution, but also toxins. Skin, after 30 years, dramatically 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 contributes to the activation of the protective functions of the skin;
• heals. The restoration of the optimal balance (in other words, the buffering effect) is possible due 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 is not destroyed even after aggressive exposure (scrubs, peels and weather conditions).

The composition of Vichy thermal water does not include parabens, fragrances and dyes. It has a soft structure and is used at any time of the year. Active ingredients:

• calcium - promotes the regeneration of the dermis, protects cell membranes from the negative effects of the environment;
• iron – participates in oxygen exchange between cells, improves complexion;
• manganese - is a natural antioxidant;
• fluorine - helps to strengthen blood vessels;
• potassium - moisturizes, relieves excessive puffiness, retains moisture inside the cells;
• silicon – restores skin cleansing functions;
• magnesium - activates the regeneration of the skin, evens out the tone of the face;
• 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 the cells from the inside, energizes.

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