10 skin benefits of MICELLAR WATER
10 benefits of micellar water for your skin.
What is micellar water?
Micellar water is a simple skin cleanser that looks like water and is very popular for its many properties:
- an effective face cleanser,
- tonic,
- make-up remover,
- skin refresher.
Micellar water is based on the active ingredient micelles - microscopically small particles formed by the combination of molecules from water, cleansing agents and moisturising agents. Micelles work like a magnet on the skin, drawing in dirt particles and helping to cleanse pores. At the same time, the surface of the skin is moisturised, toned and inflammation is reduced, so it is safe to use even on sensitive and dry complexions.
It is important to pay attention to the formulation - the basic micellar water may simply contain purified water or may contain rose water, aloe vera or other floral waters that have an additional nourishing effect. Additional moisturising and cleansing ingredients are also added. Alcohol, synthetic fragrances, essential oils, preservatives, PEGs and parabens should be avoided in order to avoid irritating the skin.
Vegan Fox Micellar water is based on rose water from the petals of the Damascus rose, which soothes the skin, reduces the appearance of pores and wrinkles, and aloe vera extract, which provides extra hydration and protects against bacteria.
10 benefits of micellar water for your skin:
- Perfectly cleanses - able to remove dirt, make-up and excess sebum from the skin;

- Simple and gentle skin cleansing - similar in appearance and texture to water, no need to rub or wash the skin;
- easy to use - can be taken anywhere, no need to rinse with water;
- Gentle formulation - free from alcohol, preservatives and synthetic fragrances to avoid irritating the skin;
- Suitable for all skin types, including the sensitive eye area;
- extra gentle - does not dry or irritate the skin, so it is also suitable for very sensitive skin;
- useful for acne, blocked pores or scars;
- a lifesaver when you need to touch up blurry make-up, prevent a shiny complexion or cool down on a hot day.
How to use?
Micellar Water can be used as a stand-alone cleanser or as part of a double cleansing routine.
If you have combination, oily or acne-prone skin, Micellar Water should be used as step 2 in the cleansing routine - first wash your face with a gel or foam and then cleanse with Micellar Water as a toner substitute. This will ensure perfectly cleansed skin, as well as providing additional skin care and hydration. If your skin is particularly dry, sensitive or red, the Micellar Water will be completely sufficient to avoid additional irritation. This product is particularly suitable for situations when you are travelling, at the gym, at the beach, where you may not have access to running water, cannot take all your daily make-up products with you or are simply short of time and in a hurry.
Pour a little micellar water on a cotton pad or cloth napkin and cleanse the face, neck and décolleté area with gentle, non-abrasive movements. If eye make-up needs to be removed, gently press the moistened cotton pad against the eyelid for a few seconds.
Use in the morning and evening, no need to rinse - you can apply a face serum and/or face cream immediately.
Just as simple and effective!
