Micellar water: which one is better to choose

Recently, micellar water has become a very popular makeup remover from the face. Almost all popular cosmetic companies have added it to their line of skin care and cleansing products. But still, what is better - milk or micellar water?

There is no unequivocal answer here, even though we will consider further the positive and negative sides of these and other means. The main difference criterion is the preference of various girls. It is more pleasant and more convenient for someone to take off make-up with milk, and for someone with some water.

According to most experts in the field of cosmetology, any milk makeup remover is perfect for sensitive and dry skin, It is especially recommended to use his or light foam in the winter period of time. This means that all products with a special creamy structure have a much better effect on the condition of our skin, and also nourish it with nutrients, vitamins and microelements.

For owners of oily or combination skin type, especially in the summer period of time, it is recommended to use various foams, mousses and washing gels. Very good and tools made for sensitive skin types. In the presence of a cosmetic product for the purification of alcohol, it is extremely undesirable to use it. If you are a lover of very persistent and waterproof makeup, then look at the cleansing agents and lotions on an oil basis.

Micellar water is a mild cleansing agent that consists of special microparticles - micelles. This tool perfectly removes makeup, and according to many manufacturers, does not even require rinsing. But still, after cleansing the makeup, even with such a tool you need to wash with water. But more on that later. Micellar water is suitable for sensitive and problem skin.

This makeup remover can also be compared with skin and lotion, but micellar water largely removes impurities from the face according to many experts.

Although micellar water is so popular and even unique in its own way, it has a lot of pros and cons.

The disadvantages of this water can be attributed to the fact that after its application a sticky layer may remain on the skin, which also requires additional rinsing with ordinary water. Sometimes a tight and dry.Very often, when erasing eye make-up, a slight burning sensation may appear, especially if there is alcohol in the composition.

Practically on all bottles with micellar water you will find the inscription “does not require rinsing”, but on this issue there are two opinions of experts in cosmetology. Yes, flush and yes, do not flush. Let's see why.

Some manufacturers claim that their products are 2 in 1 and 3 in 1, which means that such water is used not only as a cleansing makeup, but also as a tonic and has a moisturizing effect, like from thermal water. Therefore, it is supposed to wash off and not need. But here there is one very important question.

All this, although after some time, but can lead to not very good consequences, namely, the loss in the skin of the necessary moisture, dryness and all sorts of peeling.

Therefore, if you are not very confident in the composition of the product you purchased, then it is best to insure yourself and your face and once again wash your face after using this type of product.

Also, you should not be fooled by advertising tricks, according to experienced cosmetologists, you should not get too carried away with the purification of oily shine and refreshing the face with the help of such water during the day or a trip somewhere. Because it is still a cosmetic product, and it requires rinsing. Even if you do not have problems now, this does not guarantee you their appearance in a few months.

If persistent makeup is applied, you can remove it with a lotion or hydrophilic oil, then wash with water, then use micellar water applied to cotton pads and wash with water again. If you use hydrophilic oils, then be careful with them, many cosmetologists treat them negatively, because such products are made from polysorbet, which do not affect the skin barrier in the best way.

If you clean the makeup immediately with micellar water, then also remember to wash your face after using it, then you can wipe the face with tonic, and only after complete cleansing of the skin apply face cream.

Looking at the counters of cosmetic stores one can meet a lot of various bottles of micellar water with a price of 200 rubles and up to 2,000 thousand luxe-class. So what is the nicest brand of all? How to choose it correctly and what is worth paying attention to?

Summing up the multiple assortment of micellar water, it can be said that all the products listed above are almost equally good at removing makeup and cleansing the skin of the face as a whole. There are some differences in the composition and its naturalness. But the main objective of this tool is still makeup removal, and not care, so many cosmetologists recommend not to ignore this fact.
