When wearing makeup it is important that you always remove it, and well there are so many methods to removing your makeup micellar water is proven to be one of the best methods.
Micellar water would usually have a facewash, where according to the type of micellar you are using it will help remove impurities and makeup on your skin. The remover also helps purify your skin even on days when you are makeup-free.
Glamour suggests using micellar waters as an alternative to traditional makeup removers including wipes, balms, and oil cleansers. These lightweight, water-based makeup removers work by suspending tiny micelles (or balls of oil molecules) in water to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
Margarita Lolis, MD, a board-certified dermatologist, says they provide a variety of benefits, including cleansing, toning, makeup removal, and moisturising. One major advantage is that the cleanser is mild on the skin.
“It effectively removes pollutants and makeup without the need for harsh rubbing or rinsing, which can be particularly beneficial for sensitive skin,” says Marisa Garshick, MD, a New York City board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology.
Like any other skincare product, it is important to ensure you buy the micellar water that is best suited for your skin type.
