A few months ago I saw an advert on
TV for a product called miceller cleansing water. I thought “here we go again another
water with a fancy name to make us part with our cash, well I’m not going to
fall for it.” Then a company rep from Nivea came into my store and tried to
sell me miceller water. At first I stood my ground and refused but then he
offered me stuff. You know how they say everyone has a price? Well mine
apparently mine at the time was a free bottle of miceller water, 2 bottles of
fancy body wash, lots of free fancy pens that light up when used, 4 writing
pads and 2 mini clipboards.(Hanging my head in shame) A girl can only hold out
for so long and did I mention the pens light up?
Anyway it turns out the product is
actually brilliant, flew right off the shelf and is currently trending in Canada
and the UK. So I went and did some research. It turns out that miceller water
originated from France and has been around for decades. It is a skincare
product that moisturises whilst removing makeup from face and eyes without the
need for rinsing. To understand how this can be you need to understand what
micelles are, the chemistry is pretty cool. (On goes my chemist hat)
Micelles are tiny molecules of oil
suspended in droplets of water they enable you to mix oil and water to form a
single even solution. Miceller water contains lots of these micelles and when
you put some on a cosmetic pad and apply pressure as you rub your face you disrupt
the micelle causing it to split open and when you stop applying pressure the
micelle closes up again and in the process envelopes whatever isn’t water from
the surface of your face. So kind of like a makeup vacuum cleaner.
I have been using it now for 4
weeks and it certainly does what is says on the tin. I don’t think it will be
the only product I use to keep my face clean but it will replace my facial
wipes and eye makeup remover. I still moisturise with my shea butter after
using it but it comes in very handy when I’m feeling lazy (which is most of the
time) or just dog tired.
I think it’s definitely one to
consider including in your must have facial products. There are many out there including Nivea, La Roche, Vichy,
Garnier, Lancôme, Simple etc everyone’s joined the band wagon. Don’t think you should
spend more than $10 though as long as it a good company it should be fine.
