The Vichy Aqualia Thermal Moisturizing Cream and Eye Roll-on: For An Effective Hydration

Has it already happened to you scraping the bottom of your face cream jar

as if it was a Nutella jar? I wanted to talk about this face moisturizer for while! Sometimes a basic simple product at a reasonable price, does much better than trendy expensive creams with exaggerated promises!

I loved everything in Aqualia Thermal of Vichy. Here we target hydration and hydration only! I tested it from the late summer to early October. The non-sticky texture is a great pleasure: very nice to apply that quickly penetrates (incredible feeling of freshness). I like its low scent and I especially noticed my skin better hydrated. This face cream brings me good looks all terrain and all temperatures (important for  dehydrated sensitive combination skin).

I completed my routine with the Eye Roll-on Aqualia Thermal: labeled as “fortifying hydrogel” (what a name lol!), to improve the appearance of puffiness and dark circles. I would just name it: a fresh gel that soothes the eye and brings a very relaxed feeling. Very little product is enough for each application. These two products are really effective and paraben free. I also like the blue packaging of the moisturizing cream!

My Summer Beauty Routine: Cleanser and Face Cream

After severe skin reactions last spring,

to get healthy skin, I decided to use a minimum of products and preferably “dermatologist”. This summer, my skincare routine limited to use the Eau micéllaire démaquillante (Micellar Cleansing Water) of Etat Pur, with a neutral pH (1). Perfect for combination skin. For a very cool and soothing effect, I put it away in the refrigerator.

As a tonic, I use the La Roche-Posay atomizer: excellent for calming the skin very sensitive to heat up under the association of sun, sweat and sunscreen. I store the mist in the refrigerator too, for an invigorating and firming effect.

The day, as I absolutely have to protect my skin from the sun, I use a sunscreen with very high index. And at night, I generously apply the cream Toleriane Ultra of La Roche-Posay (2), for allergic or intolerant skin that contains no preservatives, parabens, fragrance, alcohol, collorant and lanolin. Extra pure, with a completely airtight packaging.

This treatment has drastically improved the deplorable state of my skin after my severe allergy (appearance and comfort). SOS cream, super moisturizing and soothing (“anti-irritant”). After nearly two months of use, my skin was cleansed.

And for the pleasure to have a lovely color on the nails, I’ve finally worn Tour of Finance of ESSIE (3), a slightly metallic fuchsia pink. But I remain addicted to Ole Caliente, a punchy red-slightly orange.
