6 Ways to Use Micellar Water in Your Skin Care Routine

6 Ways to Use Micellar Water in Your Skin Care Routine



There are plenty of cleansing, toning and refreshing beauty waters to choose from. But there’s one that stands out among the rest: micellar water. Not just your average H2O, micellar water could well be the product you’re missing.

What is Micellar Water and How Does it Work?

Micellar water is a multi-functioning skincare staple that both cleanses and tones the skin. It’s not only super gentle on your skin’s protective barrier, but it attracts makeup and impurities to the skin’s surface for a thorough cleanse in far fewer steps, and with far greater ease. That’s right—there’s no need to even rinse!

How to Use Micellar Water

There are many uses of micellar water, but all you’ll normally need is a bottle of your favorite stuff (more on that to come!) and a cotton pad.

To Remove Your Make Up

Simply shake the bottle and pour some of your micellar water onto a cotton pad or ball. Softly smooth the cotton pad across your eyes, lips, and face pausing briefly over areas with the heaviest makeup. Take extra care not to scrub, rub, or pull at your skin.

To Wash Your Face or Tone it

Simply douse your pad of choice again, and gently drape around the skin. You can also apply your micellar water in between facial cleansing to refresh and tone your skin as needed throughout the day.

As mentioned, there’s no need to rinse with any of these methods. This makes it especially perfect for the gym, office, or as one of your must-have travel minis!

How to Achieve Dewy Skin Without Makeup (Even During Winter)

How to Achieve Dewy Skin Without Makeup (Even During Winter) As if it ever left, a glowing, ultra-dewy complexion is back in, with everyone from beauty bloggers to runway models emulating the look. “The inspiration comes from the Korean beauty trend known as ‘glass skin,’ which basically translates to a poreless, dewy complexion that has been enhanced with a luminesce sheen or finish,” explains celebrity makeup artist, Geoffrey Rodriguez. “Compared to some of the other popular beauty trends such as contouring, or matte skin, which refract light and can look very heavy and artificial in natural daylight, ‘glass skin’ ultimately looks softer and perhaps therefore, more flattering. The best way to achieve this youthful, glowing appearance? It starts with a focus on skin health: regular exfoliation, hydration, drink water, etc. “This trend is about caring for your skin until it strobes on its own and you don’t need foundation and primers to fake it,” says Alex LaMarsh, celebrity hair and...

3 Ways to Care for Your Skin Before and After a Swim

3 Ways to Care for Your Skin Before and After a Swim Spending a lazy summer day at a beautiful pool may be the best way to enjoy the season. And with warm weather just around the corner, you’ve probably got your beach bag ready with a new swimsuit, towel and clarifying shampoo. Before you dive in, though, you might want to spend some time prepping your skin, too. While chlorine’s harsh effects on the scalp (and that nasty knack for turning your hair green) get all the attention, it turns out that pool chemicals may be equally unkind to your skin if you’re not careful. (If you’ve ever felt itchy after swimming in a pool, you’ve already experienced this “scaly mermaid” skin.) 1. Prep your skin with a barrier cream “Chlorine is added to swimming pools to disinfect and prevent the rise and spread of bacterial, viral and protozoan diseases,” explains Dr. Estee Williams, a  board-certified dermatologist  in New York City. “Due to its caustic nature, chlorine is a cause of irritant ...
