Most of
us are prone to getting lazy after coming back from that party. We leave that
make up on, thinking once is ok. But really, it ends up happening way too many
times, and eventually harming our skin. But can we be blamed? Taking make up
off is such a time consuming, labor intensive process that sometimes we end up
avoiding it!
The
advent of micellar water has made life, and skin, much better now. Developed in
the 1990s in France to counteract the country's naturally hard water, micellar
water is a gentle formula that looks and feels like water, but includes tiny
particles called micelles to trap impurities (dirt, makeup) and lift them up,
without drying your skin in the process. As for the process, it’s as simple as
just swiping it on the skin with a cotton swab, without any scrubbing involved.
Micellar
water cleansers are a perfect option for gentle, effective cleansing, whether
it is to clean off the day’s grime in the evening, or even to give a refreshing
start to your day.
But
then, with so many brands releasing their own versions of micellar water, which
is good for your skin? We list five best micellar water brands, which have been covered frequently by multiple
luxury blogs.
1.
La Prairie Crystal Micellar Water
Eyes & Face:
Costing a bumper $135, La Prairie’s micellar water can be used in the morning
and evening. Dispense onto a cotton pad and gently press over one eye. Wait a
few seconds to allow the formula to begin dissolving eye makeup, then gently
sweep the cotton pad from inner to outer corner. Repeat on other eye and the
rest of the face. It is hydrating, rejuvenating and oh-so-simple to use!
2.
La Mer The Cleansing Micellar
Water: You
cannot go with La Mer. This $124 worth liquid is perfect for dry and
combination skin. It micro-emulsifies makeup, and sweeps away impurities and
pollutants. Counted as one of the best micellar water brands by luxury blogs and magazines, its
signature marine nutrients and nourishing Miracle Broth hydrate and renew skin.
3.
By Terry Cellularose Micellar
Water Cleanser:
Considered good for all skin types, By Terry’s $88 micellar water gently
removes the most stubborn make-up and impurities, leaving the skin feeling
fresh and comfortable. Its formula is concentrated with radiance-activating
White Rose Native Cells, antioxidant Black Rose extract, and soothing White
Rose extract that leaves the skin supple and hydrated. For best results, By
Terry recommends not rinsing it off.
4. Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water: Giving itself a fancier, more encompassing name, Koh
Gen Do’s micellar water is again quite a favorite with luxury blogs. This $78.99 Spa Cleansing Water
is both a makeup remover and gentle cleanser in one, particularly suitable for
sensitive skin types. It is made with a blend of thermal water and botanical
extracts, including Rosemary, Sage and Lavender. Again, no rinsing necessary!
5.
Eau Thermale Avene Micellar
Lotion: The name
might be confusing, but it is a micellar water only. Costing $77.69, this water
contains chamomile among other ingredients, which is said to be very relaxing.
It removes make-up while keeping your skin moisturized like a ‘lotion’.
With the incredible amount of choice available, we are sure you’ll
find your prefect pick of the best
micellar water.
