What You Need to Really Clean Your Makeup Off: Micellar Water from La Roche Posay

Hi ya Gorgeous

Whoa - how about that Walking Dead episode? I still. Nope. Still can't believe it!

What I do believe is that this is quite possibly the best answer to long wearing foundations combined with baking a powder on top of it and then multiple layers of contour, highlight and bronzer plus eyeshadows and eyeliner with mascara: Micellar Water from La Roche Posay.

This brand is so good! It's so popular in Europe and the rest of the world though in the United States it is slowly becoming a beauty fan favorite.

Why? Because it's effective while being gentle and not containing parabens. Expect it to be in the $20 or under range.


Check it out:

You can find it at CVS and Ulta Beauty or online. You are supposed to use it with cotton balls, but in my life, I don't have time for that. I use it on a wash cloth.

Now it says that you don't need rinsing. That is so French skincare to not need rinsing. You know why? Because there in the flats of Paris and surrounding French cities, they did not have access to water as easily and the plumbing isn't always consistent, so the ladies of olde had to use creams to remove their makeups and the tradition just stuck.

Here is from the brand:
leanses down to pollution particles. Removes what you see and even what you can't see.


  • Dirt-encapsulating micelles cleanse skin from dirt, oil, makeup, and even pollution particles
  • Gentle and refreshing water-like formula that's mildly scented
  • Use as a daily no-rinse cleanser, makeup remover, and/or toner
Micellar Water is a no rinse cleansing water for all skin types

Dirt-encapsulating micelles
Naturally lift dirt, oil, makeup, and pollution upon contact with the skin and no harsh rubbing necessary.

Poloxamer
A mild cleanser so gentle it is used in contact lens solution

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water
Antioxidant-rich water to soothe skin

WHAT IS A MICELLAR WATER?
Micellar waters are no rinse cleansers that take their name from micelles, the microscopic cleansing agents that are used in their formulas. These micelles have a lipophilic core that attract oil and impurities

HOW DOES IT WORK?
When micelles interact with the skin, they naturally lift dirt, oil, makeup, and even pollution on contact with no harsh rubbing necessary.

WHAT DOES IT DO?
Makeup and impurities are trapped in the micelles oil absorbing core and are dissolved from the skin leaving it perfectly cleansed, hydrated and refreshed. No rinse necessary.
