Micellar water is definitely more than just an effective makeup remover. While water plays a big role in our skin’s health, micellar water definitely gets us that flawless coveted baby skin.
Micellar water is a different kind of special water, one that uses tiny micelles, which are clusters of fatty-acid esters, to dissolve dirt, makeup, and oil on the skin without leaving it dry. It’s gentle and wipes away waterproof makeup.
