What is micellar water?
Micellar water is one of the most popular beauty products of the moment and it is effective, it saves steps in the beauty routine and it is also very pleasant to use. Its main use is as a make-up remover but it can also be used as a substitute for the usual cleanser and as a tonic. The culprits for the success of this product are micelles, water-based molecules that are capable of trapping dirt to remove it. They can with makeup, even waterproof , as with grease, sweat and all kinds of impurities that can accumulate on the skin.
It does not offer a very deep cleaning, however, so for acne-prone skin it is better to use specific cleansers and add the use of an exfoliator. For the rest of skin, micellar water and an exfoliation every two weeks or so will suffice. Another advantage of micellar water compared to other cleaning products is that it also tones, so it is one of those multitasking products that we like so much.

How to use?
Do you know how micellar water is used? You just have to soak a cotton pad and pass it over your face gently and without rubbing. If not, you will end up with irritated skin and it is precisely something that we want to avoid using this type of product. For the eyes, leave the wet disk on the eye for a few seconds and then drag the makeup out but, we repeat, without rubbing.
