Micellar water for problem skin

Once upon a time, micellar water was sold in a pharmacy and was considered therapeutic. And it is no coincidence: it was used to care for the delicate skin of newborns and seriously ill people, bedridden. When the release of water became massive, some manufacturers began to violate the originally created formula with a therapeutic sparing effect, abusing the addition of various chemical additives and preservatives to the water, significantly reducing the cost of its production, but releasing dubious agents that adversely affect the epidermis, especially inflamed.

Micellar water for problem skin is usually odorless or has a very slight floral scent, and looks like plain colorless or slightly hazy water. The difference between micellar water and other cleansers is in micelles, small particles of fat dissolved in water, which can attract impurities, excess sebum and leave them on the sponge for washing. Means for the problematic type, depending on the purpose, are divided into water for washing and removing makeup, although some companies produce products that combine these types.

You will learn more about micellar water of various brands from the video.

Some varieties of micellar water, mainly for oily types, may foam a little. Other products, on the contrary, are two-phase, with oil on the surface, which are mainly used for dry epidermis, must be constantly mixed.

Cleansing micellar is often prescribed for problems with the face in addition to medical preparations. It is usually made on the basis of purified natural thermal or flower water, the so-called hydralates, which contain medicinal herbs that promote healing of cracks, have a mild antiseptic effect and natural plant extracts that moisturize the skin like aloe. Cosmetologists recommend such products as auxiliary even for acne.

For skin with pimples, comedones, inflammation and acne, micellar water must be chosen especially carefully so as not to aggravate the problem. The usual composition of such a skin is not suitable. In these cases, special products are used that contain a small amount of alcohol, antibacterial substances and medicinal herbs. Additionally, a micellar remedy containing an anti-acne complex on the face may contain minerals such as sulfur, copper, zinc, which soothe the epidermis and help dry out inflammation.

As a rule, this type of face is shiny from oily secretions and also has large ugly pores on the face. For such a problematic type, the polysorbate contained in the composition will help, which gently removes fatty contaminants. Even oily skin simply needs micellar water to contain substances that mattify problem areas and narrow pores on the face.

Such skin looks dry and lifeless: it constantly peels off and a network of wrinkles begins to appear on it early. This type needs special nutrition and comprehensive care, one of which will be cleansing with the right micellar water. Therefore, you should choose products that do not contain alcohol and aggressive surfactants.

A similar type of skin means that its owner is characterized by opposites in the most extreme manifestations. In the area of ​​the forehead, nose and chin, the so-called T-shaped zone, the face is shiny and has a characteristic greasy sheen, and in other places it is dry to flaking. It is very difficult to take care of her, because care for normal skin is not suitable for her, products for oily skin are partially suitable, only for the T-shaped zone, in other places they will dry out the skin and cause peeling.If you use care for dry epidermis, there will be a comfortable feeling for the skin of the cheeks and around the eyes, but the products can provoke acne and oily sheen on the nose and forehead.

It is made from purified natural water extracted from geothermal sources. Its feature is the presence of nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide in the composition. Therefore, micellar water with such a composition not only gently removes impurities, but also relieves swelling, moisturizes and refreshes the epidermis, and also normalizes water balance.

Delicate, like a rose petal, the type of face can be prone to redness, rosacea, and allergic reactions. Therefore, the composition of the water is the simplest and most concise, no “chemistry”, preservatives and alcohols: the most natural ingredients containing micelles and decoctions of herbs such as chamomile, calendula, which will help soothe the epidermis prone to irritation. We will consider such funds on specific examples, based on the feedback from consumers and cosmetologists.
