Micellar water resembles ordinary water, but the liquid contains micelles which attract dirt like a magnet. This way, the skin's surface is cleansed in a simple and gentle manner. It's a superproduct that cleanses mildly and effectively while moisturizing the skin without leaving an oily surface. Simply put, it's makeup remover, cleanser, and toner in one product.
How does micellar water work?Micelles are soap molecules that form spherical droplets at certain concentrations, temperatures, and pH levels. A soap molecule has a water-soluble (hydrophilic) end and an oil-soluble (hydrophobic) end. In a micelle, the oil-soluble ends of the soap molecules point inward and the water-soluble parts outward. Therefore, you could say that the center of the micelle forms an oil droplet, but it doesn't feel oily on the skin thanks to its water-soluble exterior. Micelles therefore remain in their water solution and don't stick to our skin.They attract and bind makeup and other dirt at the fatty end while counteracting the drying effect of water on the skin. The skin is therefore gently cleansed from makeup, dirt, and impurities as the micelles attract these like a magnet. Micellar water dissolves stubborn makeup much better than an oil and without feeling sticky.
Who can use micellar water?Micellar water is a cleanser suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. It can be used both morning and evening and also works for those who wear contact lenses. Micellar water is a perfect cleansing alternative in the cottage as well as on boats, at festivals, and on flights where you don't have access to water. It's also great to have in your handbag when you want to quickly and easily refresh your makeup from work to evening parties as it cleanses the skin without feeling sticky.
