Features of Vichy sunscreens

All creams, which are created according to European standards, protect against both UVB and UVA rays. But there are still differences, and they mainly relate to texture, format and additional components.

The Vichy solar line is quite extensive, and in addition to the variety of products, it has other advantages:

original formulas that, for example, are resistant to sand adhesion or allow you to apply SPF directly to makeup;

orientation to the needs of the modern consumer;

the presence of a 3-in-1 multifunctional product.

Features of the composition of products with SPF 50 and 50+

Vichy sunscreens use several different filters (chemical and mineral), which provides maximum protection. Product formulas also include:

hydrofixatives - glycerin, hyaluronic acid;

antioxidants - bakaylin, vitamin E; By the way, vitamin E is contained in all Vichy sunscreens.

“Applying antioxidant compounds to the skin before sunbathing has been shown to significantly reduce the potential for UV damage. Antioxidants applied after the beach also fight the resulting free radicals,” says Elena Eliseeva, Vichy brand expert.

Products with SPF 50 are used mainly in the summer, and in the heat you don’t want to apply several layers of cosmetics to your face: serum, cream, foundation, SPF. Therefore, many women are looking for Sanskrin, which can be used instead of a day cream. Vichy takes this trend into account.

“The product should contain not only filters, but also active ingredients adapted to the needs of the skin, such as mattifying or anti-aging ingredients.”

Rating of sunscreens with SPF 50 from Vichy

Refreshing facial spray veil Capital >

Its undoubted advantages are its convenient format and airy texture. The spray can be applied directly over makeup as a fixative. It is absorbed quickly and completely, refreshes the skin and, of course, protects it from sunburn and the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation.

“Ultra-fine dry spray allows you to apply the product evenly to the skin - without the characteristic drops and streaks.

The antioxidants and hydrofixing agents contained in the product provide not only protection, but also care. For example, baicalin, one of the most powerful antioxidants, neutralizes the effects of the destructive effects of ultraviolet radiation,” reports Elena Eliseeva.

Spray veil for face and body for children “Anti-sand” Capital >

This weightless spray is designed to protect vulnerable children's skin not only from ultraviolet radiation, but also from the adhesion of sand.

“An attempt to remove grains of sand from the skin can provoke redness and irritation, not to mention the fact that sand also removes a layer of Sanskrin, which has to be renewed.

Vichy uses anti-sand technology: the texture of the product is such that after applying it, it is not difficult to shake off grains of sand from the skin - they literally roll off the skin and do not scratch the epidermis,” says Elena Eliseeva.

Stick for sensitive skin and lips Capital >

This rich, nourishing treatment can be used in place of chapstick to prevent chapped or sunburned lips. It can also be used to protect moles. Contains a complex of oils (cocoa, shea, castor) and vitamin E.

3-in-1 toning treatment against age spots >

Cream that prevents hyperpigmentation, foundation and Sanskrin in one tube. Fe-resorcinol 0.3% is responsible for pigmentation control, mineral pigments are for toning, and reliable filters are for photoprotection.

Moisturizing spray “Tan Activator” for body >

Does not contain auto-bronzants; the production of its own melanin is activated by the component tyrosine. This allows you to get a beautiful natural tan and at the same time protect yourself from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.

It is recommended to use sun protection, especially for sensitive skin, even at home, sitting by the window. What are the best and proven sunscreens and sprays on the market?

Sunscreen tanning oil is used not only for the entire body, but sometimes also for the hair. It's hard not to get confused and choose the right one. Popular manufacturers are Nivea, Garnier. Which is better: oil, spray, cream?

There are proven means for a beautiful tan. Choosing the best can be difficult for staying in the sun in the city or traveling to the sea. Some use store-bought products for a beautiful tan, others use folk remedies.

A fairly effective and budget-friendly tanning cream is produced by “Clean Line”. Sunscreen can be used by both adults and children. The description of the composition allows it to be used to restore skin after exposure to UV rays.

Pediatricians say that children's sunscreen in hot weather can overcome many problems. It must be used both in the sun and in cloudy weather. A good sunscreen should be applied 20 minutes before sunbathing and going outside.

The Vichy company got its name from a French town that 300 years ago became famous for its healing springs. Laboratory studies have confirmed the amazing properties of water, the presence of unique trace elements and salts in it. In 1931, a cosmetics company appeared in this city, which set itself the goal of creating not masking cosmetics, but healing and rejuvenating ones. Vichy today is a world-famous company that has developed its own cosmetic products for different skin types.

The west coast of France is famous for its Atlantic beaches and warm subtropical climate with mild winters. Therefore, lovers of sea holidays needed high-quality, effective products that protect the skin (especially the face) from the merciless rays of the sun. The Vichy company could not stand aside and developed a line of Capital Soleil cosmetics. This line includes ointments, sprays, mousse, milk, oil. One such cream is Vichy ideal soleil ultra light.

Compound

Ideal soleil ultra light contains about three dozen different substances. Sun protection in the cream is provided by:

1. Avobenzone, a white crystalline substance with the chemical formula C 20 H22 O3. Dibenzoylmethane derivative absorbs UVA
2. Homosalate – ester of salicylic acid. Chemical formula C16 H22 O3. The remainder of the salicylic acid molecule absorbs ultraviolet rays in the range of 295-315 nm, so salicylates are actively used in sunscreens. Another property of Homosalate is that it ensures the stability of the cream in water.
3. Octisalate, or ethylhexyl salicylate. The substance is a transporter. It improves the absorption of the cream into the skin, absorbs ultraviolet radiation, and slightly flavors the cream. Cosmetologists in different countries of the world have a very wary attitude towards this substance. Some consider it an allergen. In Japan, it is recommended to use in limited quantities. Vichy cream contains no more than 5% of this substance.
4. Octocrylene - another ether with the chemical formula C24H27NO2, which is a viscous, colorless liquid, greasy to the touch. The acrylate group of the Octocrylene molecule absorbs short-wave UVA and UVB.

These are the so-called active substances. The cream also contains glyceryl stearate, glycerin, water, inulin, grape seed extract, vitamin E and other components that moisturize and nourish the skin. You can find out about sunscreens for oily skin here.

What effect does the cream have?

Light skin is more susceptible to burns than others. She has negligible melanin (compared to dark-skinned beachgoers).

Melanin is a substance that is produced by the skin under the influence of sunlight and protects the body from ultraviolet radiation. Skin color is inherited. However, place of residence and climatic conditions also have a certain influence on it. For example, when southerners find themselves in the northern regions and live there for a long time, the skin eventually loses some of its melanin and becomes noticeably lighter.

People with fair skin, blond or red hair, and blue eyes have very little melanin. Staying in the sun is not safe for them. These people need sunscreens with a high level of protection, at least SPF 50. For example, such as Vichy ideal soleil ultra light cream. It is stable in water for 40 minutes. Contains substances that filter ultraviolet rays A and B, so vacationers can afford to stay in the sun longer. Vichy ointment

1. quickly absorbed into the skin,
2. does not clog pores,
3. becomes invisible on the face.
4. helps the formation of an even and beautiful tan.
5. moisturizes the skin,
6. prevents it from drying out, and at the same time does not increase fat content.

The cream contains hypoallergenic components. However, before using a new cream, it is recommended to do a test, for example, on the wrist, to avoid individual intolerance. Apply a little cream to your wrist, rub it, and if no redness or rashes appear within 10-15 minutes, you can safely apply the cream to your face.

Although the company has developed a special anti-sun mousse for children, ideal soleil ultra light is also suitable for small children and protects them from burns. Find out how to tan in the sun until chocolate brown in this material.

What does it help with?

The cream protects against sun rays on the beach, against burns in the solarium, and also in the winter in the mountains, where the sun's rays are reflected from the snow, and a burn can be just as easy as on the beach.

In southern countries, it is recommended to use sunscreen even in cloudy weather. The fact is that taking advantage of cloudy weather, people relax and try to stay on the beach longer, especially since in such weather the water is usually warmer than on a sunny day. But even through the curtain of clouds, the sun slowly but surely warms and can fry bathers.

You should also know that those who are in the water are no less susceptible to sunburn than those who sunbathe on the shore. You cannot relax on the beach and abuse your time near the water, especially during the hottest time of the day from 11:30 to 16:00. At this time the sun is especially treacherous. In addition to skin burns, you can get sunstroke or heatstroke.

The best creams with SPF 30 are presented in the article.

Use during pregnancy

Vichy cream is one of the most hypoallergenic products, so it will not harm the expectant mother and her baby. But you need to use cream. Beach swimming is contraindicated for an expectant mother, because pregnant women have a somewhat reduced immune system, and she can easily catch an infection from the water. It is also undesirable for a pregnant woman to stay in the sun for long periods of time. It is, of course, possible and necessary to bask in the summer rays, but strictly in moderation - no more than 30-40 minutes, and even then in the morning or evening hours. The morning air is cool and fresh.

How to use: instructions for use

Before using the cream, the tube must be shaken so that all the components in it are mixed better. A small amount is applied to clean skin and carefully distributed over the face. The same product can be used to lubricate the neck and décolleté area not covered by a swimsuit.

The manufacturer recommends lubricating your face every 40 minutes, but as the reviews of those who took Vichy cream with them on vacation show, its action lasts for a longer period. Find out about the features of using Cora sunscreen by following the link.

Price

The cost of the cream varies from individual sellers. For example, on Amazon and vichy.ca it is offered for $25.

Analogs

For the summer season of 2018, Vichy has developed new sunscreens:

1. sunscreen oil for sensitive skin with a high protection factor;
2. sunscreen mattifying emulsion for the face.

Along with Vichy, Garnier offers sunscreen products. His line of products that protect the skin from burns has the romantic name Ambre Solaire - sunny amber. In the line, attention is drawn to Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 30 milk, which moisturizes the skin and protects it from ultraviolet radiation. An anti-tanning oil spray is also available.

The Korean manufacturer The Skin House with UV Protection Sun Block sunscreen for face and body was also among the best. Among the more expensive segments, we can highlight sunscreens from La Roche Posay and Floralis.
