After a long day there is no more satisfying feeling than removing all of your makeup! For me, this use to mean racing to the face wipes and going to town on my face. Not anymore! Face wipes all have alcohol and even if they state that they do not it is only because the concentration is so low that legally they are allowed to say so. As a result, they tend to dry out your skin in the long term. Micellar waters gain their name from the addition of micelle spherical liquid crystals that are scientifically able to trap small quantities of oil. Therefore, a micellar solution acts like a magnet to draw out impurities and excess oils rather than spreading them around the face and causing pesky breakouts like face wipes do.
This year has seen a significant increase in the micellar water trend and L'Oréal have been quick to join in on the action. I could not be happier that they did as the most popular micellar water among beauty experts seems to be Bioderma which is painfully elusive in the UK (you can find it in various pharmacies but not Boots or Superdrug), not to mention very expensive at around the £30 mark. This micellar water by L'Oréal is a guilt free £3.33 for 200ml **dance of joy** and can be found in all leading pharmacies.
