Micellar water is a versatile cleanser and make-up remover that can be used in the morning and evening, or whenever your skin needs a refresh. It’s suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive. How to use micellar water: Soak a cotton pad with micellar water. Gently sweep it across your face, eyes, and neck to lift away make-up, excess oil and impurities - no harsh rubbing required. Repeat until the cotton pad comes away clean.
Micelles are tiny cleansing molecules that form microscopic spheres when suspended in water. Each micelle has two parts: a hydrophilic (water-loving) outer shell, which binds to water-based impurities such as sweat or dirt a lipophilic (oil-loving) core, which attracts oily substances like sebum, pollution particles and make-up Thanks to this dual action, micelles work like magnets to gently lift away a wide range of impurities - from excess oil and dead skin cells to pollution and cosmetics. This is why micellar water is such an effective yet gentle cleanser: it removes impurities thoroughly without the need for soap, rinsing, or harsh rubbing, making it ideal for sensitive and delicate skin types.
