Read on to find out which Micellar is best for your skin type
If you want to remove your makeup – even eye makeup – or just keep your face cleansed and toned, don’t forget to use micellar water. Micellar water contains micelles, small clusters made of oil molecules. These molecules have two ends: a head that loves oil, and a tail that loves water.
When these molecules, also called surfactants, meet other oils, they pull them up from the skin. So, if you use micellar water, you don’t need to rub your skin hard – simply wipe gently and let it do the work for you, without your skin’s natural moisture barrier being disturbed.
Micellar water first originated in French pharmacies but has been in the UK for almost a decade now. It has had a real impact on the way we think about skincare, tending to be lighter than other cleansers, and a none rinse formula so that the ingredients can be absorbed and keep your skin cleansed and hydrated.
However, the right micellar water for you can depend on your skin type. The best micellar water for blemish prone skin will differ to the best micellar water for sensitive skin, for example. Here, we’ll take a look at the different skin types, so you can find out which micellar water is best for you.
If you’ve got sensitive skin, our Micellar Cleansing Water for Sensitive Skin is the way to go. It gently lifts makeup and dirt from the skin, gliding over your skin so that it removes make-up and dirt without you needing to rub or strain the skin.
Alternatively, try our Garnier Organic Cornflower Micellar Cleansing Water, formulated with organic cornflower and barley water to gently cleanse and nourish your skin.
Just one of our Reusable Eco Pads is needed, alongside our Micellar Cleansing Water, to pull oil and dirt from your skin. Simply apply the water to a pad and wipe your face, eyes, and lips, with no need to rinse!
