Have you experienced the wonder that is Micellar Water? This deceptively simple product has become one of the most beloved steps for skincare routines around the world, and we are here to show you why.
Micellar water is essentially a multi-use tonic that can be employed as a makeup remover, cleanser, or toner. Containing purified water, mild surfactants and handy things called ‘micelles’, Micellar Water is ideal for cleansing and hydrating the skin. With an ability to attract and trap dirt, makeup, and other pollutants your skin may be exposed to, it works to dissolve impurities so that they can be swiftly wiped away.What Makes Micellar Water Different from a Normal Cleanser?
With a cleansing element, Micellar Water works much in the same way as a normal cleanser. Micellar Water is a popular skin cleanser alternative, however, because it removes dirt and makeup with minimal to no irritation, which is especially important to people with sensitive skin, or those who are interested in minimising the number of chemicals within their products.Micellar water works by using surfactants that surround oil particles and dirt found on the surface of the skin, then draw them away into a solution. When micelles encounter stubborn makeup stains on your face, for example, they will swell and bubble for easier removal.
5 Ways to Use Micellar Water
There are several ways to integrate Micellar Water into your skincare and makeup routines. Here are 5 to get you started:-
Use it as a makeup remover: Simply soak a cotton pad in the Micellar Water and gently sweep across the areas where you have applied your makeup.
-
Go for a quick cleanse: With its hydrating and purifying properties, you can use a cotton pad saturated with Micellar Water to rub across your face to draw out impurities. With no need to rinse afterwards, you can simply continue with your normal skincare routine.
-
Double as a toner: After using your favourite cleanser, simply pour some of the Micellar Water into your hands and gently pat the formula onto the skin and wait for it to absorb.
-
Correct any makeup mishaps: We’ve all had a slip with eyeliner or smudged our lipstick, so why not dip a cotton bud into the Micellar and gently go over the area you want to fix up. Create clear, striking edges with this handy technique.
- Clean your makeup brushes: It’s not only your face that benefits from a little TLC with Micellar. Pour a small amount of the Micellar Water into a clean bowl and mix the ends of your brushes around inside to remove excess makeup and bacteria. Gently pat them on a dry cloth to remove any left-over solution and lay them down to dry.
Benefits of Micellar Water
There are endless benefits to using Micellar Water in your skincare routine, along with it being a much more environmentally friendly option.With its carefully designed formula, every Micellar option is gentler than traditional cleansers, keeping them from irritating the skin or removing any good oils while cleansing. As an all-in-one product, it is simple to use to remove makeup, oil, and dirt with a wipe of a cotton ball or pad.
Micellar Water has also been proven to be more hydrating than alternatives like makeup wipes. With the absence of any alcohol-based ingredients, the skin is left softer, smoother, and more refreshed.
