removing makeup at some point is essential for maintaining healthy and radiant skin.
for everyday or lighter makeup, micellar water is a great solution.
💕 How to remove makeup with micellar water
Soak a cotton pad generously with micellar water.
Hold it over your eye/lashes for about 10–15 seconds if you're wearing mascara or eyeshadow. This helps dissolve the makeup instead of rubbing.
Gently swipe away makeup. Use a fresh pad for each eye if needed.
Move to your face — gently wipe your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
Repeat with fresh cotton pads until the pad comes away mostly clean.
Cleanse afterward if you can. Micellar water can remove makeup, but a gentle face cleanser afterward gives you a more thorough cleanse.
Moisturize once your skin is clean.
for waterproof mascara or lash glue: micellar water may not be enough on its own. Use an oil-based eye makeup remover or cleansing balm and let it sit on the lashes before gently wiping.
✨ beauty-babe tip: Don't scrub your lashes. Especially if you're wearing lash clusters or extensions, soaking and gently dissolving the makeup is much kinder to them.
let's talk science:
micelles capture oils and enclose them into their center to take the oils and substances with them when washed away with water
micellar water is a solution for gentle removal of makeup and these micelles can be found suspended within a liquid formulated to be used lightly on the skin surface, appearing in a bottle to magically hydrate the skin and take care of your daily makeup like a piece of cake. Try it!
