Beauty Spotlight: VICHY

I have a bit of a soft spot for Vichy and when I recently received their new BB Cream in the post I thought a  Vichy Lovin' post was due. 

I have overly praised the Vichy Idealia Pro Deep Corrector* (review here) back in November last year, and it's still a firm favourite in my skincare stash. For tackling unsightly pink scarring left over from my acne day's this product, in conjunction with the rest of my skincare line up, has had great results. I now feel a lot more confident and often dare to go bare faced, whereas that would have been an absolute no, no this time six months ago.

On day's that I do feel I need a bit of coverage Vichy's Idealia BB Cream* has been working it's way in to my everyday face fixes. When I first tried this out I was on the fence slightly, I definitely do prefer tend to hover towards this luminous skin duo for a lighter base face. However, when I'm after something a little lighter, that refines my skin and adds a dose of radiance, than this product doesn't fail me. It's not the most long lasting BB Cream I've tested and definitely is best for day's when you're skin only needs the lightest of touch ups, but I'd definitely recommend this product for summer, packed with SPF 25 to protect your skin from UVA & UVB and paraben free, winner.

My favourite from the bunch has to be their Derma Blend Cosmetique Corrective Foundation*, that boasts a 16 hour lasting power. This stuff does not budge. I absolutely love this foundation, however, it is best for night's out and times you're after a more heavy duty coverage. My skin does look flawless and clear but on a sunny summer's day I wouldn't want to wear this much product. I save this for night's out without having to worry about touch ups or having to faff about with concealing pesky blemishes as this does the job all on it's lonesome.

Have you tried many products from the Vichy range?

Vichy Idealia Pro Deep Corrector

Vichy Idealia Pro Deep Corrector Serum £29.00* (this link has the product at £24.65)

Skincare is becoming more and more important to me and taking precedent over my compulsive cosmetics habit. Although the price tag of some of the more sought after serums, creams, and oils can hit our bank balance hard, I do feel that investing in a good skincare regime that, most importantly, suits you is well worth it. 

I suffer from old acne scars that have left unattractive dark spots around my chin area so when the lovely Steph offered me the chance to test out Vichy Idealia Pro Deep Dark Spot Corrector I did a little 'squee!' at my desk, and replied straight away. 

Targeted at those with dark spots and an uneven skin tone, the serums gets to work on both the dermis and epidermis level, fancy schmancy words for different layers of the skin, and target the source of the darker and more problematic pigmentation spots. Que the science behind the beauty - the LHA's aim to reduce the dark spots whilst the DRM-Bright Complex aid in their prevention. Confused? So am I, but trust me, it works and that's really all that matters.

I've been using this product on and off for two months or so and have really noticed a difference in the blotchiness and darker pigmentation of my skin. As I have sensitive skin I was primarily worried that using this serum would cause a flare up, or irritation, however, it's soaked up lovingly my skin and glides on smoothly and softly. I love that it comes with a pump which squeezes out just the right amount of product, for me. 

At £29.00 it does seem quite pricey, I must admit. But, let me tell you, the effects speak wonders and I only use this nightly after toning and before moisturising and I still have 3/4 of the product left after two months. I'd really recommend this product to anyone suffering with pigmentation problems.
