My friend Denianne, offered me a peek into her monthly Birchbox to see if anything was interesting. I was curious about the Micellar water and snagged it.
What a wonderful surprise! For me it was the unicorn of skin cleansing. It’s a facial wash, makeup remover and toner all in one. You don’t have to tug at your eyes to remove (even waterproof) mascara. It’s fast, (I’m always in a rush), and easy (because I’m, well, lazy). Just moisten a cotton pad and, gently sweep over your face, neck and eyes until the pad comes clean. There’s no need to rinse and it’s suitable for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers.
What kind of sorcery is this?
Micellar water was created in France as a face-washing alternative to its harsh tap water. It feels like water but contains tiny oil molecules (micelles) suspended in soft water that draw out dirt, makeup and sebum.
Not that I workout or go on hikes, but it’s good to know Micellar Water Towelettes are available as well.
If you don’t require rose petals, green tea or water from the Japanese Alps in your Miceller Water, try Garnier. It’s seriously affordable at only $6.99 for a huge bottle. Plus, you won’t have to go to a French pharmacy to purchase. Your local drugstore, Amazon, Ulta and Target all carry Micellar Water.
Without soap, alcohol, or other harsh chemicals and detergents to dry out the skin, micellar water conveniently leaves your face feeling hydrated with a glowy, dewy finish. It’s the minimalist’s skin cure-all, so why don’t you get on board?
Irene–Great call! Gin and I just bought some of this and love, love it. I like it for freshening up when I’m going back out after working all day. Gin keeps asking me every morning to feel how soft her skin is before she leaves the house. We give it a huge thumbs off!
I’m so glad! It works for me, too!
Thanks for the advice. I just ordered some from Amazon. My skin has been very dry lately, this should help.
I love this stuff…hope you do, too!
I do love it.
