What is micellar water made of?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

\n \n

Micellar water<\/strong> is essentially purified water<\/strong> enriched with micelles \u2013 tiny clusters of surfactant molecules that attract and trap impurities<\/strong>, sebum and makeup<\/strong>. Micellar waters may also contain natural moisturizers, such as soothing plant extracts, to make them even more effective and gentle. They work with all skin<\/strong> moods. Our L\u2019Eau Soir et Matin<\/strong><\/a> is a perfect example.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

How does micellar water work?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n \n

As you’ve understood, micellar water<\/strong> is a cleanser<\/strong> made from water<\/strong> and micelles. The main characteristic of micelles is that they have both hydrophilic (attract water<\/strong>) and lipophilic (attract oils) properties. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n

As a result, these micelles are able to attract and trap impurities<\/strong>, traces of makeup<\/strong>, and sebum.\u00a0You can apply micellar water to the skin<\/strong> with a cotton pad or cleansing pad. It works by forming an emulsion that captures “dirty” particles without spreading them over the face<\/strong>. In this way, the product<\/strong> not only deeply cleanses, but also refreshes the skin<\/strong>, acting as both a makeup remover and toner.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

One of the main ways to use micellar water <\/strong>is to remove makeup. <\/strong>The micelles it contains trap impurities, <\/strong>so <\/strong>it can effectively lift away makeup <\/strong>from the face, eyes <\/strong>and lips. And because there’s no need to rub vigorously, it won’t damage the sensitive skin<\/strong> around the eyes<\/strong>, reducing the risk of irritation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Even if you don’t usually wear makeup, your skin<\/strong> still needs to be cleansed, and a micellar water formula is ideal for gentle cleansing.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Micellar water <\/b>can be used as a <\/span>facial cleanser<\/b><\/a> if you prefer to cleanse your skin quickly and effectively, without <\/span>water<\/b>.
