Karen, you are so informed. I love how you go to long lengths to gather all the facts about products and then bring it to all of us. Great video. Thank you.
Thanks SO much Peggy and Jessica - you have no idea how much it means that you have taken the time to comment and are saying such lovely things. I think it must be just hormones but its made me a bit tearful, in a good way :0) I work so hard on my videos so when its noticed and helps people, I'm overjoyed. Small things please small minds they say lol. Hugs, and hope you are both having a great weekend! Karen x
Karen I dont believe there are many that do the research on ALL items as you do. I know it has to be alot of work and alot of reading. I learn so much from you and I for one appreciate all you do to help us. You are a wonderful girl.
You explained this so well Karen. You made it simple enough for me to understand
So informant! Brilliant as always Karen! X
Thank you for explaining mecellar water. It was very informative.
I've always considered micellar waters as a first step in a double cleanse. I've heard of people using it in the morning for a quick cleanse instead of washing their face with cleanser, but I personally would never rely on a micellar water to do that. I'm old fashioned, I suppose, LOL!
It definitely can be used for your morning cleanse. I use it for morning celanse all the time!
Audrey Natalia Same for me I use it in the morning and then rinse out with a spray bottle of spring water and my skin love it. But I also deeply cleanse my skin in the evening!
+HereDianna my skin just cannot take tap water (here where i live the water is very hard) so i basically cannot use any cleanser other than micellar water.
Same here, I only use it at night to take my makeup off and there will always be the cleanser afterwards so this is not an issue for me.
NNTR: Excellent video as always Karen. I'm playing catch up again, only 2 weeks behind now!
I really enjoyed this video. You explained it so I could understand it. It was very interesting. I use Bioderma at night as a 1st cleanse and in the morning. I do not rinse it off.
Thank you very much, I don't wash Micellar water off.. I use it after cleansing at night but I learned some things from your video and appreciate the amount of effort you go to.
Excellent video for so many reasons. And yes, I'd love to hear you and Caroline talking about alcohol.
I avoid micellar water, I love balm/cream cleansers and a flannel.
Karen
Thank you so much u are a field of information it's wonderful
Xx
I love your eyeshadow Karen, I think you really suit it lol xx
I use micellar water to remove my makeup before I cleanse my skin. (If I just went straight in with my cleanser, it wouldn't effectively clean my skin because of the mineral SPF and makeup I wear!
I use a sensitive baby woo folded in half and simple micelles water on top of it and wash all of my makeup off! I have had surgery of my neck and bending forward to wash my face is too much! Love this video, thank your so much!!!
I use micellar water to remove makeup as a first cleanse and then I use a gentle cleanser for final cleanse to remove the rest of my makeup. If I don't have makeup on I cleanse with micellar water just to refresh and do not rinse off. Bioderma or Garnier. I love the explanation of why micellar water works and what it is. Great video
Another great video. Re alcohol, I read somewhere that if it's combined with the right ingredients it can be good for your skin. I don't claim to understand, don't know if it's true and have no idea what those right ingredients would be! So I avoid it anyway. Think it might make your migraines come back trying to explore that one 😨 but if you did ever feel you wanted to research and do a video on this, I'd find it fascinating.
I'd never ever thought of washing off the Micellar water, just because it's water lol Very interesting video Karen, some interesting points. I remove my makeup with the water, then I use my cleanser, as I didn't feel my face was clean after just using the Micellar water. Will continue doing what I have been xx
Thank you very informative. Take care X
I used to first-cleanse with the pink Bioderma, followed by a soap-free facial cleanser. I have stopped using micellar waters and have switched to the Oil Cleansing Method as it's more economical. I would go through 5-7 cotton pads to get every spot of makeup off my face if I was using the Bioderma vs just just 4 pumps of cleansing oil and a thorough swipe with a small microfiber towel. Also, less cotton pads = less landfill waste.
Great video !! I totally understand why some people don't like the feeling on the skin, I feel the same, and from what I read on micellar water and surfactants Inunderstand that the oil migrates to the center of the micelle and it stays on the ski if not rinsed off, hence the nasty feel on my skin, at least that's my conclusion from what I read and my experience. I don't mind as a first cleansing when I have little to no makeup but I never leave it on.
I believe Caroline said regarding alcohol that cetyl alcohol is perfectly fine as it is used as a stabilizer. When regular alcohol is high on the list it is definitely a problem. I have heard this said by a two other dermatologists as well. I would Google dermatologist cetyl alcohol to look more into it.
I only use it in the mornings sometimes and I usually dilute the pad well with tap water and wipe again especially around the eye area.
My main use of micellar water is to fix makeup mistakes, doing something intricate with the eyes, or I want to switch a color with pinpoint removal without removing everything. I do on occasion use micellar water as a first step for double cleansing. If makeup is especially stubborn, I might do a triple cleanse. Several layers of grease paint, powder, and mixing mediums can be difficult to remove. I think I heard Nadine Baggott talking about dryness on her skin (mainly around the eyes) and some others as a result of micellar water being left on the skin.
very helpful Karen 🖒
great video karen. My question is: should you not do a second cleanse after micellar water? and that should remove the micellar water anyway? thanks x
Karen, as someone with sensitive skin i also avoid hard water at all cost. So i cleanse my face with only micellar water and spray some thermal spring water afterwards. This has saved me from dryness and further sensitivity.
I don't use it as a morning cleanser, only as the first step cleanse at night so don't have this issue. Once I used it as a toner but it didn't make my skin feel very good. I have recently learnt not to use any cleanser in the morning and only use water to do morning facial cleaning even though I'm oily. It's hard but I think one reason our skin barriers become weak is over-cleanse.
Hi again lol. Very often you say that your skin reacts better when you don't use water. I am wondering if you've ever tried using spring water on your face only. Maybe your skin does not like tap/hard water. I used to have acne and it STOPPED when I stopped using tap water. I now use spring water only . It's been 2 years now and still no acne, less oily skin, and more even skin tone :-)
Thanks for watching Dianna :0) I live in a very soft water area, so I don't imagine its to do with that, but no I've never tried spring water - not really ever felt the need to because I enjoy cleansing without water - unlike in USA where people have tables etc in their bathrooms (I'm not sure if you are UK/US or somewhere different), we have small bathrooms, and my cleansing routine is done in the living room at family time :0) x
I thought Parisiennes used/invented micellar waters because the water in Paris is so hard, so of course they won't want to use it to wash the micellar water off?
+Tammy H i agree. some French women (incl. the famous Garance Dore) said they don't even allow tap water to touch their face. They use micellar water and thermal spring water spray!
I think it depends in General what the individual product you use says. Some day dont rinse it off, Otter ones way you definately should-Thats how i do that and i think that there is a 100% clean answer when it comes to that question. Same with Otter products-for example hair care-there are 1000 Different ones wich Are supposed to stay in your Haie and there ist the Same amputiert wich you have to rinse out :)
Well i use the garnier micellar water the oil version one, but i do a second cleanse just cuz i prefer it using the cerave hydrating cleanser as my second cleanse
Eyelash serum? The Careprost. I am using that. I have always been mindful, that said its hard to say no to the difference in price sometimes. I watched Susan Little Poet i was thinking of trying Cold pressed Rosemary seed oil. And Carrot oil too. I think she looks amazing. I dunno i will see. I always buy pencil eyeliner thats waterline safe. Good video Jdee. It can be scary. Saw that in America Asbestos was found in baby powder. I mean really. xxx 💞❤💕
I've always thought the pink Garnier one smells like fairy liquid to me, which is interesting after watching your video...
Karen I use the Garnier 3 in 1 which is supposed to even remove waterproof mascara. but it doesnt. So I use it as a last cleanse. I won't be buying it again. Because it doesn't do as it says. But I do like the feel of my skin after I use it and i do wash it off but only with water. So I guess I rinse it off not wash it off lol. Why because I like the softness it leaves but I don't like it heavy on my skin before doing my night time routine. So I don't rinse it because of concerns about the ingredients only going by how my skin feels. I also always rinse any makeup remover I use. I had been experimenting with a few different ones including wipes. most make my eyes sting. So just tonight I have gone back to just using coconut oil to remove my makeup. I don't have a problem with it on my skin, it removes all my makeup and mascara without scrubbing and doesn't sting my eyes. So sometimes simple just works best. Hugs
I use the garnier new honey cleansing milk as part of my routine and now I'm questioning it?!
Karen, I recently bought the Garnier Micellar Water All-In-1 Mattifying and use it as a toner. I love how it gets any remaining oil off of my skin. Then I heard some saying they would avoid it due to the possible cancer connection to the ingredient PHMB. My question is: do you think if I start rinsing it off that I can eliminate or reduce the PHMB factor? Thanks
Hi Connie, I did a whole video on PHMB funny enough. Rinsing it off would be better than not, but I wouldn't say it would eliminate any risk, only reduce it. x
Love your channel! I think it's all marketing and Miceller water is the latest trend with all the drugstore companies coming out with them. I don't personally see the point of adding it to my beauty regime.
I use Oil of Olay foaming face wash with an exfoliating washcloth and then go over my face w an Almay eye remover pad.
Another trend is mineral waters like Vichy. What do you think of those? All hype?
I bought a bottle on sale and I'm still not sold.
I've actually been using rose water bought at the Indian store with a few drops of glycerine as a toner and setting spray and love it. You can add or subtract the glycerine.
My problem is fine lines all over especially above my cheeks. I refuse to stop wearing highlighter in my late 40s! Your skin is amazing ! I'll have to study your videos on how to turn back the clock!
+Mariakayc it's not exactly the latest trend because in France they have been using it for at least a century.
Audrey Natalia Yes, I meant to say it's new here in u.s. as far as marketing everywhere w every drugstore company.
+Mariakayc same thing, too, here in Indonesia. I have been loving micellar water before it's popular, because it's the only thing my skin can tolerate, because it doesn't involve me using tap water at all :-)
I occasionally use Garnier Micellar water and if I use it straight before the shower It feels slippery and I can definitely tell there's residue. I live in London which is hard water and I tend to rinse it off
I'm curious, what is your issue with there being a residue? As with hair, should your skin really be "squeaky clean"? Does that not equal stripped skin that has had its natural oils removed? The residue could be the Glycerin that is used to prevent the surfactants damaging your skin, and gives some moisture, so then rinsing with hard water then removes that moisture plus disrupts the PH level of your skin. Just playing devils advocate as always and interested in the opinions of others :0) Say hello to my London for me, I miss it! x
It could be the glycerine! :) I just feel that since I started rinsing it off my eye-area has gotten less dry, but that could be due to a sensitivity issue to something in the product and not the product itself, I do love a quick cleanse in the morning (I tend to use micellar in the morning)
Keep up the good work, your channel is great!
This is so informative. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy using the Garnier waterproof micellar water as a toner from time to time (not consistently) I love it’s cleansing ability and the way it makes my dry skin feel. I mostly use micellar water to remove a light face of makeup before going in with my cleanser.
Hiya Karen. I've never really found a micellar water that I liked, always seems to leave a residue on my skin, so I don't like the feeling. I think I am more of a toner girl :) xxx
Hi Karen,
I'm using the Clinique toner and I'm thinking of switching to the glycolic one from The Ordinary. Do you think that's a good trade? I love you videos!!!
I'm afraid that isn't a question I could answer hun, as it just needs more questions - there are a few toners from clinique so it depends which one, but more importantly it would depend on your skin type and what you are trying to achieve and what other products you are using etc. However, both are generally good as Clinique don't add as much alcohol and fragrance as other brands :0)x
Mrs Gingers Beauty Channel I completely understand😃. Thanks😃
Until this video, I'd never heard of or considered ever rinsing off micellar water, although I technically do. When cleansing my skin in the evening, I use Boscia Make-Up Break-Up oil first, and it takes off all my makeup except mascara and some eye liner. Next comes micellar water on a Shiseido pad for the eye makeup residue. Finally, Boscia Purifying Cleansing Gel and Boscia Konjac sponge. The thing is, I use it to clean up eye shadow fallout, or if I'm totally tired, I skip the last part of my cleanse because the oil does remove everything. I don't wash off the micellar water, nor did it ever occur to me to do so. Whew! ;)
I wear a lot of makeup so I wash my face with a cream type cleanser. I rinse, pat dry and then I wipe micellar water across my face to remove any last traces of foundation etc. I always rinse off the micellar water. Its a type of cleanser, so why would you leave cleanser on your face? Great video
+Tracy Howard i believe this whole video is answering your question :-) If you really want to 'rinse' it, don't use tap water, but instead use thermal spring water spray. I use this combination all the time for my rosacea-prone skin and my skin has never been better.
Thanks Audrey, and yes this video should have answered that question Tracy - it is a milder cleanser formulated to be left on skin. To an extent anyway. There is also the fact that even when you use face wash, the surfactants in it (cleansers) penetrate skin and can't be rinsed off. Micellar waters have Glycerin in them generally, which protects the skin from the surfactants penetrating so easily and deeply. If you wash your micellar water off, you are potentially washing off the glycerin that is good for your skin (is it really good to have squeaky clean skin thus stripping the natural oils?) but more importantly you are affecting the PH of your skin negatively by using water. Hope that helps. Thermal spring water spray is a perfect solution, assuming it has a good PH (worth testing to make sure). x
Hi I watched your videos about oils for skin and I was wondering if you feel the same for hair. Do you think that most oils for hair or oils used in deep conditioners or directly on the hair etc are not really useful as they do not last for long? Thanks!
I'm not sure about oils in haircare but they aren't meant really as a potent treatment, more like to give some moisture - shampoo & conditioners probably won't last very long anyway (certainly not in my house lol) so I can't imagine it would be an issue. x
The instructions on my bottle say no rinsing required
Good then I won't start washing it off. I mostly use it on my eyes (yes to coconuts is the one I use and Garnier) before I double cleanse and sometimes use it JUST in the morning in place of a cleanser , like doing a full cleanse. And nobody I know washes it off and they have beautiful skin. My skin looks great. I just bought a witch hazel free toner to try. I don't usually tone. I don't know if there is a sufactant in it (is that the word?) but I will look. Thanks for an exceptional video! My question is garnier comment about the next to last ingredient and why you don't use it. I watched that p something mb lol whatever you said video and it went waaAy over my head. Can you say why it's bad to use that ingredient.
Julie Barnes She's referring to phmb -- you can read more here: marinkaessel.com/2016/01/27/phmb-and-cancerous-beauty-products/
i like to wash my face with neutrogena grapefruit wash and when i do take makeup off i use micellar water and wash face. any extra makeup i double check again by using micellar water especailly eye makeup, face is all clean. every one uses it differently. some don't prefer to wash face. use to use philosophy cleanser but it was too expensive and ingredients were not that good, it had a chemical smell but it did melt off all makeup. i find most cheaper products are better and better ingredients then high end face cleanser products.
Foe me that is to remove my makeup then I use a cleanser. so I just don't get it.
can I rinse off the Garnier skin active micellar cleansing water then apply the Garnier skin active rose soothing toner and leave it on or should I just leave both on edit: I would keep the toner on but rinse the other off is there any point in using them both? X
I would say no point using both, one or other. x
I am curious to know your opinion on the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Waterproof Makeup Remover (blue). I think it is new, but I could be mistaken.
Also curious if you have tried the Garnier SkinActive The Gentle Sulfate-Free Cleanser.
The only reason I ask is because I trust your opinion on ingredients and such. Hope you are well and keep making great videos and taking care of yourself. :)
Neither of those products are for sale in UK yet but the blue micellar has PHMB in it so I won't use it (I have done a whole video on that) and I prefer not to use water so probably wouldn't' use the cleanser either. Sorry hun, but thanks so much for your kind words :0) x
Thanks :) Really appreciate the reply.
which would you recommend...simple vs loreal vs garnier pink bottle?
Simple. x
thank you!
Simple has DMDM hydantoin. Is it safe use on the face?
Sooooo then don't listen to people an just do what the bottle says...I just started using garnier micellar an I leave it on
I wouldn't rinse it off. Face washes are rinsed off because like soap they don't absorb so you need to wash it off.
Can't bear the stuff Karen! Makes my whole face sting. I use Glycerin And Rosewater from Boots before SPF in the morning and it works a treat. X
Wow, so interesting! Especially since I love the sound of that rosewater, but its got Alcohol (the one that's used in Gel nail polish application) and a lot of irritating fragrances in both synthetic and natural - just shows you how individual our skin is doesn't it. My friend has extremely tolerant skin, I got a makeup remover she recommended and it nearly burnt my face off haha. x
I'm not bothered about the alcohol. It leaves my skin feeling super soft and doesn't irritate it. I'm using Tretinoin and need that extra layer of moisture. You're spot on. We're all different. X
But should we wash sperm off our faces lol only joking, I've been looking forward to you doing this video, I'm so glad we don't have to wash it off, I'm a lazy lard ass lol thank you for you informative videos, just love them ☺X
Hehe, you do make me giggle :0) x
+dewar white yeah i also started using micellar water because i'm too lazy to take off my makeup in the sink at night during night shifts. But after using it for a few weeks I noticed that my skin has been transformed for the better! Apparently all this time my skin is suffering from the very hard tap water I've been using to cleanse!
Audrey Natalia it's good you found out it was the hard water, I'd have never thought of questioning putting water on my face. I like doing my cleansing to a tv prog, I love watching beauty vids and planning what I'll do, I need to stop planning and just do it lol
+dewar white yeah apparently where i live the water is very hard. It never occurred to me too!
dewar white lol I do the same with my makeup! No wonder everyone is mad I'm late 😂
A bit of sperm & alcohol never hurt anyone Karen lol good video honestly, never used it, but I do leave my skin for the ph 🌸🌸🌸
