What is Micellar Water?
Classed as a skin cleanser, micellar water looks like any other clear liquid upon first glance. But inside, you’ll find a complex make-up of tiny structures known as micelles, cleansing spheres that draw makeup and impurities to them like a magnet.
Trapping them so you can sweep them from your skin (using your reusable makeup pad), this allows you to remove the bad, without disrupting your skin’s natural barrier.
What are the Benefits of Micellar Water?
Typically used in the cleansing stage, the most well-known benefit of micellar water is its ability to remove dirt and oil.
Additionally, micellar water helps promote skin hydration with the ingredient Glycerin which has restoring and enhancing qualities, along with calming irritation.
