How to Use Micellar Water – what is it?

Not everyone knows how to use micellar water.  It is not meant to be used for heavy makeup or waterproof eye makeup.

Gentle everyday cleanser that dissolves impurities as well as light makeup without leaving any unwanted residue. 

Though not designed to remove heavy waterproof makeup; perfect for purifying and freshening skin without stripping, drying or irritating. 

The History and Science 

Micellar originates from France, with its usage in skincare dating back to 1913.

Micellar water was developed in 1991 by a company called Bioderma. 

Because it is free of alcohol, it is gentle but also highly effective at removing dirt, makeup, and oil to help clear out pores. 

While toning the skin micellar water promotes skin hydration, reducing irritation and inflammation, keeping your skin soft, supple, and smooth .  

Made with a balanced pH purified with hydrating ingredients such as glycerin and cleansing agents called surfactants.

These surfactants bind together in small concentrated clusters called micelles, which act as magnets to attract oil, debris and dirt.

The tiny cleansing molecules are suspended in water to draw out impurities without drying skin.

Micelles get activated by saturating a cotton pad with the formula and sweeping over your face rearranging the micelles for optimal cleansing.

How To Use Micellar Water In Your Skin Care Routine

  1. Skin experts say that you need a full cycle of double cleansing twice a day.  I prefer to use it in the morning and wash with rice water cleanser in the evening. 
  2. Use It for Toning Your Skin. Gently refresh your skin without stripping it. You can use it after cleansing with a facial cleanser to add hydration and freshen your skin. 
  3. Use as a makeup remover by soaking a cotton pad or cotton ball then simply wipe off. 
  4. Touch up eyes or lips by using a brush and gently removing excess. 
  5. To remove your eye-makeup you can douse a pad then hold the pad over your eyelid for a few seconds before wiping away. 
  6. If you feel like you have too much makeup on your face you can touch up with micellar water. 
  7. Clean Your Makeup Brushes by dousing cotton pad then pinching the brush between the pad or rub the brush over the pad. 
  8. Perfect for your skin after a workout.  
  9. Use as a hand sanitizer.
  10. Perfect for sanitizing your cell phone.  Apply to a cotton ball or pad and gently wipe your phone.

Benefits 

The reason micellar water was developed in France was because Parisians in Paris found that the hard water was compromising skin’s pH.  Leaving it dull, dry and damaged due to the heavy minerals in the water. 

Parisians looked for a facial cleanser that didn’t need to be washed off. In 1991, micellar water was developed to get around the hard tap water and it’s effects on the skin. 

Thankfully for all of us this amazing product is now available to everyone.  

Micellar water is a no-rinse, gentle cleansing formula that gets around the hard tap water situation.

What was once a French beauty secret has now become a staple for glow-seekers across the globe.

A versatile multi-tasker that can be used as a cleanser, light makeup remover and toner. 

Gently lifts light makeup, oil, and impurities from skin with the swipe of a cotton pad. 

It combines gentle cleansing care with skin-balancing and hydrating benefits.

It is mild, non-irritating and suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive and because it doesn’t require rinsing off, it’s perfect for traveling.

Take it to the gym or on a trip to clean, hydrate and nourish your skin on the go.

Because of it’s lightweight formula, Micellar water can also be used after cleansing with a face wash of your choosing (stay away from soap.  It is drying to your skin). It’s properties make it perfect for hydrating and toning your skin after you wash without stripping natural oil from your skin. 

Simply douse a cotton ball or cotton pad and gently apply to your skin.

Review of Micellar Water

My beauty routine is all about hydration.   Anew Micellar Water is what I use as my morning facial cleanser and in the evening I use Rice Water Cleanser. 

In the morning I don’t wash my face right away.  Coffee is first in the am along with feeding the dog, reading when I can, watching the news and sometimes working out. 

Afterwards, I cleanse my face with micellar water without needing to rinse afterwards.  My skin feels hydrated and ready for moisturizer and makeup. 

Giving this product a 5 out of 5 stars!
