The choice between these products depends especially on the type of skin. Nevertheless, a must-have product for all skin types, including the most sensitive, is micellar water.
Micellar water: what it is and why it stands out
Micellar water is a relatively new product but it has captivated a very loyal public due to its effectiveness and its characteristics.
Micellar water can be used by people with all skin types - including the most sensitive skin - and has a skin cleansing action that is simultaneously a make-up remover, moisturiser, hypoallergenic and anti-irritant.
This product is very highly rated by people with acne and allergies, as it does not cause any undesirable reactions to people suffering from these conditions, allowing their face to be clean and ready for any creams they use for skin care.
In addition to this, micellar water leaves the face prepared for eventual sun exposure.
How does micellar water work?
The micellar water action happens through the presence of water or oil soluble molecules which, when applied, create micelles that will serve to absorb all the dirt particles present on the skin, eliminating them.
Thus, this is a product that deeply cleans your skin, even serving as a face make-up remover. It should be noted, however, that this product will not remove waterproof make-up, so it is recommended that if you use make-up with these characteristics, you use specific products to remove them. As these products usually contain oil, you can apply micellar water afterwards for a better feeling of cleanliness.
How to apply micellar water?
The application of the micellar water is simple and there is no need to remove with water after the application. This product can be used with the simple help of a cotton disc that, when passed over your face, will remove impurities from the skin.
This cleansing can be done twice a day - in the morning to prepare your face for the day and in the evening to ensure your skin is perfectly clean before bed.
