VICHY LABORATORIES: SPF50+ Accept Nothing Less

Today I'm talking about a couple of skincare products I received from VICHY Laboratories. I was first introduced to VICHY back in 2016 when I enjoyed a day at a spa in Thai Square, VICHY had a shower treatment there. 

This time around I've been lucky enough to have some new products sent on to add (or not) to my grooming regime. By the by, the about Vichy section and how they source their volcanic mineralising water is just awe-inspiring. Check that section out on their site here. 

Capital Soleil UV Age Daily SPF50+ Facial Sunscreen

So I've been talking about this for ages. Now we have some data that underscores what I and many have believed to be true for a long time. More than 80% of skin ageing signs are caused by daily UV rays and pollution*. Capital Soleil UV Age Daily is an advanced high protection facial SPF50+ with a water fluid texture that helps protect the skin from the damages of UV radiation and pollution whilst targeting existing signs of photo-ageing.

Apply every morning as the final step of your skincare routine. It’s ultra-light, highly breathable texture provides an invisible, non-greasy skin-like finish, creating a perfect base for smooth make-up application.

Thoughts

A great evenness, rich and feels smooth on the skin. Skin feels replenished. Irons out some annoying redness I've been experiencing recently around my neck. Not sure if that's an irritation from all the crazy weather we've had recently, but it's felt a lot more settled in the last few days since I've been using this

*Flament, F. et al. (2013) Effect of the sun on visible clinical signs of ageing in Caucasian skin. Clinical, cosmetic and invest. dermatology. 6: 221 - 232.

Capital Soleil Solar Protective Water SPF 50 Hydrating

High protection suncare SPF 50,for face and body, in a unique solar water format. I've been enjoying this as an all over body replenisher when I'm fresh out the shower just about to head out. Comforted by the fact that it doesn't stain the clothes, I can dress and move without fuss and too much thought. 

The Capital Soleil Solar Protective Water SPF 50 Hydrating  is best used 10 minutes before sun exposure, topping up every few hours for best protection. 

Thoughts

Good atomiser. Absorbs quickly, smells neutral, not intrusive.

Capital Soleil Solar Protective Water SPF 50 Enhanced Tan

And this is my back up. Just an extra application I've been using whilst out on my walks with Tuula and Charlie. On the fleeting days when we have had some hot weather, this has been by my side. It's probably worth noting that I'm always keen to look after my forearms as I'm conscious any sunburn will dull my tattoos. 

High protection suncare SPF50, for face and body, in a unique solar water format, is enriched by Beta carotene, rich in antioxidants to give skin a natural looking tan.

Thoughts

Would probably need some more vigorous testing with better weather. Non-greasy application, like the packaging. So far so good.
