As if night sweats and weight gain weren't enough, menopause brings the added bonus of reliving our hormonally-charged teenage years. (And we don't mean the boundless energy or perfect hair.)
Frustrating breakouts and dry skin can sneak their way in during menopause, leaving us groaning at the idea of reverting back to acne creams and harsh cleaning wipes. There has to be a better way to get rid of it, right?
Absolutely — and the answer is better cleansing with micellar water. It's a gentle, hydrating way to remove dirt and oil without stripping away your skin's natural moisture.
So, how does micellar cleansing water work, exactly? Here is a look at what it is, how it's used, and why it's the facial cleanser you didn't know you needed:
Micellar water is comprised of water (of course) and micelles (hence the name), which are tiny clusters of surfactant molecules that help remove dirt and oil from the skin.
So, how is washing your face with micellar water any different from tap water? Well, water and oil repel each other. Oil sits in a defiant layer on top of your skin, unable to be broken down and removed by tap water alone— and this is where micelles come in. Just like a magnet, micelles draw out oil, makeup, and impurities from the skin. The best way to apply it is with a cotton ball or pad, and because micellar water works like a vacuum, there's no need to rinse! (Of course, you can if you want.)
Besides the obvious benefit of oil and dirt removal, micellar water can also help in a few other ways:
The biggest benefit of micellar water is that it replaces the need for multiple products. It acts as an all-in-one solution: cleanser, toner, and makeup remover. The best part? It does all of this (and more) without stripping your skin of the natural oils and hydration it needs. (Which often occurs with other harsh cleansers.)
As we approach menopause, aging skin can experience excessive dryness and breakouts. Micellar water is a gentle cleanser that hydrates and tones without stripping away your skin’s natural moisture. For the best results on aging skin, use a micellar water uniquely formulated for this stage in life.
