Micellar Water: What Is It?

Micellar Water has recently been growing in popularity. It's not a toner. Nor is it a cleansing milk, or a face wash.....it's a skincare product that removes makeup and cleanses skin, without the need for rinsing. Micellar Waters have been widely available in French pharmacies for many years, and gained a cult following internationally as skincare enthusiasts, make up artists and bloggers (like myself) descovered them. Today, this well - kept beauty secret is loved by many for its gentle but powerful one - step cleanse.

SO.....HOW DOSE IT WORK? Micellar Water takes its name from micelles - tiny round balls of cleansing molecules that float in the water. When applied to your skin the cleansing agents come into contact with oil and dirt on your face, allowing them to swept away quickly.
There is no tingling or tightness on the face, and it's powerful enough to remove eye make up.

HOW DO YOU USE IT? It's best to soak a cotton pad with the product and gently sweep it across your whole face, paying particular attention to your eyes and lips. There is no need to rinse afterwards. Just enjoy the fresh, clean sensation. Your now ready to apply your suitable serum and moisturiser.

My skin has never looked so clear since using Micellar Water and I've been using these waters for a while.  I'm trying out different brands (L'Oréal being my fave so far) but they are all pretty much on par with one another. I found there to be no scent from them but the B.Pure version has a funny taste,which I discovered by accidently licking my lips aftet I used it. Yuck.

They are definalty a must in your bathroom and will be part of my skincare for a while I reckon.

Go get yours. If you have tried them or other brands,let me know what you thought.

As always thank you for reading.
