Think of cleansing like the foundation of skincare. While it may seem like a basic step in your routine, it’s crucial to ensure you have a clean base for the rest of your products to work their magic.
As Decleor skincare specialist explains, ‘if your skin isn’t totally clean, it stops anything you apply next from absorbing effectively’.
So, finding the right facial cleanser could be a game-changer, but with so many formulas available, it’s important to understand the differences and benefits of each type to choose the one that suits your skin best.
What is Micellar Water?
Micellar water is a gentle cleansing water that contains micelles, tiny oil molecules that bind to dirt, makeup, and impurities to leave you with a clean base.
Quick and easy to use, this option is a real lifesaver for late nights or times when you’re on the go, as you don’t even need water.
This option is usually suitable for all skin types – including sensitive skin.
How to Use Micellar Water
To use micellar water, simply apply a generous amount onto a cotton pad and gently swipe it across your face to cleanse and refresh your skin.
We recommend following this with another cleanser, if time allows. This will give the skin a more thorough wash and ensure no impurities are left behind.
Note: If you like to wear heavy makeup, you may want to repeat this process a couple of times, using a fresh cotton pad to ensure you remove all traces.
