Have you noticed the new range of skincare from Vichy?
I was introduced to their new skincare range at their recent workshop held, as a mini celebration of their 80th Anniversary.
Vichy Aqualia Thermal, it’s all about hydration, for all skin types including sensitive skin!
All skin types, doesn’t matter if it’s young skin or aging skin, hydration is a must in our daily life. Water consumption alone is NOT enough to hydrate your skin, unless you are like drinking nonstop daily?? Then again, you’ll turn bloated.
This is why skincare products that provide hydration adds into beauty life.
Vichy Laboratories has researched a synergy between Vichy Thermal Spa Water and Aquabiorly™. This unique synergy provides instant soothing sensation and long-lasting comfort.
About Vichy Thermal Spa Water
You may not know that the name Vichy is actually a town in France! Vichy has the most thermal springs in France and used to be known as the “Queen of spring water cities”. Till this era, Vichy is the leading city in Europe for spa, health and fitness, highly popular among tourists visiting to enjoy the wonder of the spring water (also known as spa water) in Vichy.
A test was done to show the efficacy of how well Vichy Thermal Spa Water can protect the skin against harsh environment.
pH indicators were added to beaker of Vichy Thermal Spa Water and another of normal spring water. Both turned blue, indicating their alkaline nature due to the mineral contents.
To show the efficacy of both water, Citric acid was added to stimulate what will happen after being exposed to harsh aggressors which were acidic in nature. And guess what?
Vichy Thermal Spa Water remained blue (still alkaline, meaning still with mineral contents!) while the normal spring water turned yellow, meaning acidic pH and is bad for skin!
So you see, Vichy Thermal Spa Water is just that “stable” and good for the skin!
* It’s Vichy’s 80th Anniversary, and bottles of spa water are now available in special packaging, limited edition!
The reason why the spring water in Vichy is so precious is due to its rare minerals content. Minerals like Magnesium (stimulates skin regeneration), Iron (helps in oxygenating skin cells), Calcium (protects skin tissue) etc, help to allow soothing, fortifying and regeneration the skin.
Soothing: Anti-Inflammatory and anti-irritant
Fortifying: Strengthens and protects tissue against aging
Regenerating: Stimulates cell renewal
And that’s how spa water is being introduced into Vichy’s products.
About Aquabiorly™
It’s a hydrating ingredient which not only hydrates, but also gives ultra comfort to irritated skin. It is able to hydrate 100% of the epidermis!

It gives comfort and soothe the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid is also added into the product formulation to ensure moisture penetrates the deepest into the skin. It is famous of locking water molecules and gives the skin a protective layer to retain moisture.
Back to the workshop I attended….
Together with the invited bloggers and forum members, we had a room filled with food and beauty products.
To fit into the Aqua theme, we had sparkling water.
Freshly baked sandwiches, in very huge portions!
There were cakes at the end of the workshop!
And because it’s Vichy’s 80th anniversary, Vichy SG took the trouble to prepare a packet of sweets, which were embossed with “VICHY” and i believed, spa water is added in!
When i first saw the sweets, i had thought those were mask sheets in pill-like packaging!
They tasted minty and very refreshing!

Give a few sprays into a small bowl, soak a “pill” of mask sheet (easily available at beauty shops like Sasa) for awhile, open up the soaked mask and masking starts!
One amazing thing I noticed from this mask was, the Spa Water was cold!!
Very refreshing and cooling to the skin!
