Benefits of micellar water

Micellar water appeared on the beauty market not so long ago, but immediately gained prestige and became one of the most popular skin cleansing products. What is her secret?

What is micellar water

Beautyholics fall into two camps. Some believe that micellar water replaces all cleansers and after its application, you can immediately apply the cream. Others object: micellar water cleanses perfectly, but then you still need to wash your face and apply a tonic, and only then a cream.

Micellar water looks like a tonic. The basis of its composition is micelles, special particles of surfactants. We wrote about this soft remedy in detail here.

The composition of the solution with micelles may also include:

  • vitamins;

  • plant extracts;

  • glycerol;

  • absorbent components (relevant for owners of oily skin).

Quickly removes make-up

With the help of a cotton pad soaked in the solution, you can get rid of makeup in a matter of minutes, in some cases even waterproof (depending on the specific product). For this, micellar water is loved by those who travel often, go on business trips and go to a fitness club.

Perfectly cleanses the skin

Thanks to micelles that capture oily particles of dirt from the surface of the epidermis, micellar water leaves the skin clean and fresh.

Suitable for all ages

Surprisingly, it seems that micellar water is the only product on the beauty market that is suitable for any skin type and all age categories. Sometimes, in order to meet the special needs of oily and combination skin, manufacturers add sebum-regulating and moisture-retaining agents to the formula – sorbents, zinc, hyaluronic acid.

Micellar water will not replace a toner, much less a moisturizer. This is a skin cleanser.
