Mineral 89
As water makes its way through the crystalline bedrocks in the spa town of Vichy in France for millenia, its journey enriches it with a great diversity of minerals and trace elements. This water has been found to have the greatest variety of minerals of all the thermal waters found in France. The Vichy baths have been historically famous from the times of the Roman conquest, when it is said that Julius Caeser discovered ‘Vichy’ water. Anecdotally, Caesar arrived in this area with fatigued horses that had been going at a hard pace. When these horses drank the water in Vichy, they immediately regained their strength.
The Roman set up baths in Vichy that can still be found to this day. What was so special about this water? Several scientific studies have demonstrated the ability of Vichy Mineralising Water to strengthen the skin’s natural defences due to its antioxidant properties. It does this by rebalancing the skin’s pH following damage by the sun’s UVA rays and hence the skin’s integrity is reinforced. Skin regeneration is stimulated and its barrier function is improved.
What is it, exactly?
Vichy’s Mineral89 serum is a fortifying and plumping daily booster that provides the skin of the face with minerals that make it more resistant to urban and environmental stressors. It is suitable for both men and women and can be added to any skin routine following cleansing. It can be used every day, and men can apply it immediately after shaving too.
Mineral89 contains 89% Vichy mineralising volcanic water and hyaluronic acid. The role of hyaluronic acid is to retain moisture and re-plump the skin. This means that while hydrating your skin, it also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin more radiant and keeping it looking young. It improves the suppleness of the skin, and so the skin also looks more firm.
Can it be used on sensitive skin?
Treatment with Mineral89 is also beneficial for those who suffer from irritation and redness as both the mineral content and the hyaluronic acid can soothe and alleviate the skin. Studies have found that it is suitable following procedures that render the skin fragile. It is also suitable for those suffering from chronic issues such as rosacea and dermatitis.
Mineral89 has been tested on 3200 subjects with all skin types by 325 dermatologists. These tests have revealed that hydration increases by 24% within the first 4 hours of treatment, and the skin appears 21% more plump within 4 weeks of use.
Its lightweight texture and transparent formula also make it very wearable. The product is absorbed instantly into the skin due to the small molecular size of its minimal ingredients. In fact, this daily booster only contains 11 components and is paraben, fragrance, and alcohol-free while also being hypoallergenic.
How should I apply Mineral89?
Adding Mineral89 skin fortifying daily booster to your routine could not be easier as it does not need to replace any product. Simply apply the liquid on the decolletage, neck, and face before applying your usual serum, moisturising cream, and sun protection. In addition to that, it can also be used as a primer underneath coverage foundation. Its simple and caring formulation is suitable following a shave, even in sensitive skins.
Give the same care to your eye area!
Good news – the great formulation Mineral89 is now also available for treating the eye area. Vichy mineralising water and hyaluronic acid are accompanied by a third ingredient: caffeine, a molecule known for its drainage and decongestant action. Mineral89 for eyes strengthens the eye contour with the same lightweight texture while reducing the appearance of bags and dark circles. The daily boost also tackles the formation of early lines that appear due to dehydration. It fortifies the skin barrier to repair and care as it hydrates.
The success behind the Mineral89 range lies in simplicity and closeness to nature. The richness of Vichy thermal waters and the diversity of minerals deliver true strength to the skin naturally. Hyaluronic acid is also found naturally in the body. Its unique properties allow it to conserve moisture, keeping the skin supple, hydrated, and healthy.
