MICELLAR WATER DESERVES A SPOT IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE

A FRENCH BEAUTY ICON WITH A RICH HISTORY

Micellar water traces its origins back to 1913 in Paris, France, where it was developed to combat the harsh effects of the city’s mineral-rich tap water on the skin. Its gentle yet effective cleansing power quickly caught the attention of makeup artists, who used it backstage to swiftly and safely cleanse models’ skin. Today, micellar water remains a beloved staple not only in professional settings but also in dermo-cosmetic products, thanks to its ability to cleanse thoroughly without compromising the skin’s natural barrier — making it especially ideal for sensitive skin.

WHAT IS MICELLAR WATER

Micellar water is a gentle, no-rinse cleanser that uses micelle molecules to effectively remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin. It is a combination of mild surfactants and moisturisers with aded ingredients to provide additional skin benefits. In other words – a cleaning agent. 

USE OF MICELLAR WATER

Micellar water is incredibly versatile and fits seamlessly into any skincare routine. Use it in the morning as a light cleanse to remove overnight oils and prep your skin for the day. In the evening, incorporate it into a double-cleansing routine — first to gently lift away makeup and surface oils, followed by your favorite gel or foam cleanser for a deeper clean. It’s also perfect for on-the-go touchups: refresh your skin after a workout, during travel, or anytime you need a quick pick-me-up. For those with sensitive skin, micellar water shines as a daily cleanser, offering an ultra-gentle alternative when traditional formulas feel too harsh.

THE BENEFITS

It’s especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin or skin conditions like acne.

Micellar water offers multiple skincare benefits beyond simple cleansing. It gently removes dirt, oil, and makeup while promoting skin hydration, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and balanced. Suitable for all skin types, it tones the skin, reduces irritation and inflammation, and even supports collagen production, helping improve firmness and elasticity. Thanks to ingredients like salicylic acid, it enhances skin radiance, while thermo-mineral water stimulates the skin’s natural healing processes, making micellar water a versatile and valuable addition to any skincare routine. When travelling it is almost like a must in every travel bag!
