Micellar water is a must have in your beauty skin care daily rutin, but do you know why?
Long popular in France, this skin-care product is finally picking up stateside for its ability to remove makeup, cleanse, and tone with just a few light swipes of a cotton ball.
They contain no alcohol, and are comprised of only dirt-loving micelle molecules that attach to makeup and debris to break it down, Micellar water is made up of micelles (tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules) suspended in soft water.

Micellar (pronounced my-sell-er) water is a combination of purified water; hydrating ingredients, such as glycerin; and low concentrations of extremely mild surfactants.
When you wipe a cotton ball soaked with the cleanser along your face, the micelles adhere to the cotton while pulling makeup, sebum, and any other daily unpleasantness off the skin.
This allows dissolving insoluble compounds and therefore, micellar water acts as an "all in one" that also cleans, manages to tone and hydrate.
You can use it from the first hour of the day, to remove traces of sebum that has occurred during the night, to tone the face and prepare it for makeup or in the first step when you remove makeup, to remove residues and moisturize at the end of the day.
