Vichy Summer Skin Saviors
I have rounded up three of my all-time favorite, and most coveted, Vichy products that I have used for years, and that I have been using all summer long. They are the perfect skin saviors for this hot weather!
I am a huge fan of thermal water sprays, and Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water is sourced directly from French volcanoes. This soothing and refreshing spray feels amazing against the skin, and I often spritz it on right after I apply my favorite beauty oil to help speed up absorption, and because it allows me to use less oil. This can be used any time of the day, but I do like to spritz my face before going to bed for a little extra hydration. However, in the warm and hot weather, I keep this in the refrigerator and use it whenever I need to cool down and feel refreshed, and since the weather has been very hot in LA, I have been reaching for this with great frequency! Furthermore, it can be used to moisten makeup sponges, used to help set makeup.
($10.00 for 5.1 oz. from Vichy, Walgreens and SkinCareRX)
Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water enriched with 15 rare minerals. 15 clinical studies have proven the skin health benefits of Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water. Recognized by the French Academy of Medicine for its soothing and fortifying properties. Completes every skin care regimen and infused in all Vichy skin care products. 100% pure and natural. Preservative free. Paraben free. Fragrance free. Alcohol free. Non comedogenic. Allergy-tested.
Features:
- Extremely soothing and infused with antioxidants, Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water is a natural solution for boosting skin quality and health
- A unique combination of 15 rare minerals that give the Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water its remarkable ability to fortify & protect the skin from environmental aggressors
- Spray on face before makeup application or as a booster throughout the day
- Can be used to wet makeup sponges
Ingredients: AQUA / WATER.
Vichy Mineral 89: is described as a "new generation face moisturizer." It features 89% of Vichy's iconic Mineralizing Thermal Water that is further enhanced by Hyaluronic Acid to deeply boost hydration and fortify the skin. The consistency is that of a lightweight gel-like serum that sinks into the skin immediately leaving it hydrated with a luminous, ethereal glow. Dehydrated and dull skin gives way to comfortable, refreshed and moisturized skin without any greasy residue or stickiness. Furthermore, this fragrance-free moisturizer plumps fine lines, nourishes the skin and leaves skin soft, smooth and supple. It offers my normal/combination skin enough moisture and hydration during the warmer months that I can forgo a regular moisturizer altogether, and it pairs beautifully with my favorite serums and face oils, but during the rest of the year I layer it with richer moisturizers.
($29.50 for 1.69 oz. from Ulta, Amazon, Dermstore and Walgreens)
According to Vichy,
For the 1st time, a breakthrough moisturizing formula, with 89% Mineralizing Thermal Water to help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and make skin more resistant to visible aging caused by environmental factors combined with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump skin.
Minéral 89 face moisturizer fortifies and makes skin more resistant to visible aging caused by pollution, stress to skin, and fatigue. Its moisturizing formula boosts hydration to replenish the skin's moisture barrier. As a result, skin feels more hydrated, plumped, and toned. Day after day, skin radiates with a healthy glow.
Directions: Apply morning and evening to cleansed skin by spreading a touch of booster all over the face. Spread with outward movements from the middle of the face, without applying too much pressure. All skin types benefit from Mineral 89. It can be easily included in any beauty regimen after cleansing and before your usual serum and/or moisturizer.

Vichy 3-in-1 Micellar Wipes: I use makeup wipes all of the time, and these micellar wipes are among my very favorites. They gently and effectively remove every trace of makeup, they are gentle enough for sensitive eyes and skin, and they soothe and hydrate rather than irritate and strip the skin.
($7.99-$8.99 for 25 wipes from Vichy, Walgreens, Dermstore and Amazon)
According to Vichy,
Micellar cleansing makeup remover wipes instantly cleanse skin in only one-step. The makeup remover formula, enriched with Vitamin E, soothes and refreshes skin. Skin feels softer and more comfortable.
These makeup remover wipes are a one-step cleansing solution that:
1. Cleanse

A Few Winter Beauty Favorites to Pamper Yourself
According to SUN BUM,
According to Mamonde,
Pamper your pout! Smooth on Mamonde's Lip Sleeping Mask before bed to intensely soothe and moisturize lips while you sleep and awaken to a dreamy-soft, radiantly luscious pout. Enhanced with antioxidant-rich plum blossom extract, shea and muru muru butters to help lock in moisture, this ultra-hydrating formula also doubles as a glossy day balm. The beautiful blooms of plum trees flourish in late winter, signaling the welcome arrival of spring with their colorful petals and gentle fragrance. Suitable for all skin types. Vegan certified.
Ingredients: Diisostearyl Malate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene,
Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Hydrogenated Poly (C6-14 Olefin), Polybutene, Microcrystalline Wax/Cera Icrocristallina/Cire Microcristalline, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Sucrose Tetrastearate Triacetate, Synthetic Wax, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax/Candelilla Cera Hydrocarbons/Cire De Candelilla, Mica, Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer, Candelilla Wax Esters, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Fragrance/Parfum, Dimethicone, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Copernicia Cerifera Cera/Cire De Carnauba, Dehydroacetic Acid, Methicone, Water/Aqua/Eau, Trehalose, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Glycolic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Prunus Mume Flower Extract, Propanediol, BHT, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
7th Heaven Masks ($1.99 each from 7th Heaven and Ulta): are fun, affordable, cruelty-free and effective. They draw out impurities and leave skin soft and smooth. They apply as a gel but when they dry they transform into a rubbery mask that you peel off in sheets. They are so fun to use– especially when you get to peel them off!
Mustela (Available from Mustela, Nordstrom, buybuybaby, Target, Walgreens, Amazon, Dermstore, Bed, Bath & Beyond, CVS and Walmart) is a wonderful skincare brand for babies and mothers, but you neither have to be a baby, nor the mother of a baby to love their nourishing products. Their wipes are very gentle on even the most sensitive skin, and they leave it soft, smooth hydrated and pampered, and I use them for a multitude of uses from cleaning my hands, to removing swatches and makeup. Many of their products have light pleasant aromas, but others are fragrance-free. Furthermore, their lotions are emollient, hydrating and perfect for the cold weather.
According to Mustela,
We've provided skincare expertise for babies and mothers since 1950. Today, we offer a complete range of specially formulated skincare to best address the changes in the delicate skin of newborns, babies, children, and women who are mothers-to-be or new mothers.
The LAVANILA Elements Collection is available in four delectable scents:
Vanilla + Air for Creativity: "An uplifting, floral pairing of violet and rose, perfect for a budding artist or brainstorming session." This lovely light floral has a beautiful aroma that is punctuated by rose and violet, but it is neither too strong or sweet, nor is it powdery. Instead, the lovely fragrance sits close to the skin and has a refined and elegant floral scent.
Vanilla + Water for Peace: "A calming blend of chamomile and jasmine ideal for yoga class or stressful meetings." This deodorant has such an extraordinary aroma that is best described as a sweet floral reminiscent of a warm ocean breeze infused with Jasmine and other light florals.
Vanilla + Earth for Balance: "A warm and woody combination of patchouli and sandalwood that enhances focus and concentration." While its description might summon thoughts of a heavy woody scent punctuated by a pungent patchouli, this is a light, sweet and creamy woodsy scent infused with warm florals, and without any detectable notes from the patchouli. It has a depth and yet it isn't in the least bit overpowering.
Vanilla + Fire for Strength: "Ignite your inner power and energy with these warm and exotic essential oils: red ginger, wild orange, and Madagascar vanilla." I have been reaching for this deodorant a lot lately because its luscious spicy orange aroma feels at once comforting and uplifting during the cold winter months. It reminds me of a smooth and spicy orange blossom tea.
Unwash Try Me Kit ($25.00 from Ulta): This range of haircare products cleans, without stripping and drying hair, and it conditions without weighing hair down or leaving it greasy. During the colder months of the year it is especially helpful because of its ability nourish and hydrate my dry curly hair.
