Micellar Water for Oily Skin

Do you have oily skin? After removing your makeup, you may feel your skin is always radiant.  However, would you like clean, purified, balanced and fresh skin?

Micellar water for oily skin: the key to your beauty

Micellar water may be the solution. This gentle and very effective cleanser has the power to remove makeup and excess sebum. The result: your skin is perfectly clean, refreshed and mattified.

How to recognise oily skin

Oily skin is the result of excessive sebum secretion, giving a shiny appearance, especially on the T-zone of the face. It often has large visible pores and is prone to blemishes such as spots and blackheads. This type of skin is also often thicker and lacks radiance.

What does micellar water do for oily skin?

Many people tend to rub the skin when removing makeup to try and control oily skin. However, aggressive cleansing intensifies the production of sebum. Micellar water is particularly effective on oily skin, because its micelles capture and eliminate sebum and impurities without irritating the skin. Perfectly adapted to skins with imperfections, it maintains healthy skin and reduces shine without altering the hydrolipidic film’s balance.

The benefits of micellar water for oily skin

Micellar water offers several benefits for people with oily skin. More than a gentle cleanser, it also effectively regulates the common problems of this skin type.

  • It helps to control excess sebum for less shiny skin throughout the day. This also helps to prevent the accumulation of sebum, which is often responsible for the skin’s oily appearance and inflammations.
  • It reduces the appearance of pores by cleaning them deeply. The skin is visibly smoother and more uniform. Fewer enlarged pores reduce the risk of skin imperfections.
  • It reduces small spots by cleaning the impurities which can clog pores and cause breakouts. Its regular use can help to control acne.

How to apply micellar water to acne-prone skin

If you have oily skin that’s prone to acne, you must be careful not to further assault your skin when applying a water-based makeup remover. Gently apply the micellar water with reusable cotton pad without rubbing, to avoid irritating the skin. Wipe the cotton pad over the whole of the face and repeat until clean.

How often should you apply micellar water to oily skin?

You can use micellar water twice a day, morning and evening, to control excess sebum effectively. 

  • In the morning, it refreshes and prepares the skin for your skincare routine

In the evening, it rids your skin of the impurities accumulated throughout the day and helps to get rid of the last traces of makeup, for perfect facial cleansing.
