Micellar Water

9 replies

DressingGownFrown · 25/05/2015 13:42

I'm sure I've seen it mentioned on here, but I don't tend to hang around on s&b so can't be sure.
But today I got some micellar water and I'm wondering where to use it in my routine as if I have a routine
Should I use it first to get 'the worst' off or the end to remove any other residue. I don't moisturise Blush - I find they make my skin oily and as long as I don't do anything too harsh on a daily basis my skin doesn't seem too dry/ oily.
If anyone wants to give me any other tips for a routine feel free. I'm 21 so have age on my side, but I still appear to have a touch of teenage acne Envy.
Any help appreciated.

When I do use it, it is as my first pm cleanse to take off the make up followed by by my second cleanser which will be different according to how dry or oily my skin is on the day. If it helps I use superdrug E vit hot cleanser or cetaphil ( which I use as my am cleanser)

Use the clearasil salicylic acid pads as your toner, they are great for clearing up skin.

I have never heard of it but on looking it up, it seems to be a cleanser to remove make up/ clean the skin. You would then use it at the end of the day or in the morning. I assume it is a liquid cleanser so put on a cotton pad and swipe your face with it to remove any make up etc.

You are young but its never too early to take care of your skin. If i were you i would find a simple moisturiser with an SPF in it to protect your skin from the sun. Dont ignore your neck. Moisurise that too. You will be able to get some moisturiser for spot prone skin. I still break out at 47 so avoid moisturising my t-zone at night.

I use it to take off my makeup before washing my face. I have to say I am not impressed as it takes loads of the stuff to remove my mascara. Yesterday I used one Aldi Lacura cleansing wipe and that was more than sufficient to do the job. I won't be repurchasing.

This stuff is meant to be great for young skin like yours

I don't like micellar water much as it disagrees with my combination skin I think it might be best for dry skin IMHO.

Thanks everyone.
I'm attempting to start looking after my skin, very proud that I bought spf50 sun cream the other day, and my foundation has an SPF but I don't wear it everyday so I agree that I should use an everyday SPF on it. I'm very pale so want to start 'properly' looking after my skin whilst I'm young.
Does anyone have any good moisturisers for skin like mine? I guess it's combination as my t zone errs towards oily and my cheeks, dry.
I'm awfully lazy about beauty so I'm not good at using 'wash off' cleansers, I prefer to sit in bed at the beginning or end of the day and cleanse.

The problem that I found with micellar was that the bottle lasted 5 minutes. Far too watery. You may as well use plain water really,as does my friend with perfect skin.

I like micellar water and it works well on my dry skin I found that only the L'Oreal one got all makeup off first time with little effort.
