WHAT ARE MICELLES AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

Micelles are surfactants, which can lower the surface tension between two liquids as they are made up of ‘water-loving’ and ‘fat-loving’ parts. As water and oil repel each other, using water to wash your skin isn't enough as the sebaceous glands in your skin secrete oil and sebum daily which can trap dirt and dust as well as sweat. Thus, Micellar face wipes and cleansers infused with Micellar technology are essential for quick, easy and effective skin care. As the dirt and grease as well as makeup are attracted to the molecules, they can be easily wiped away with micellar face wipes - just watch it work its magic on your skin, leaving it clean, smooth and glowing.

WHY ARE FACE CLEANSERS & FACE WIPES SO IMPORTANT?

Cleansing your face every day is important, and making time for it in the morning before work, school or at night after the day’s activities when you're ready for some time relaxing can be tedious. However, it’s quite possibly the most important part of your skincare routine. 

Cleansing your face with micellar face wipes removes any build-up of sebum, oil, dirt, grease and dead skin cells from your face to leave your pores clear so you can help to prevent those painful, red spots that appear from build up of dirt and bacteria.Without cleansing, your skin can become itchy due to the grease and dirt clogging up your pores, dehydrating them. The dry skin and the mix of excess oil and sebum left on your face can create a concoction for disaster as your skin becomes more sensitive, developing spots that can become itchy or sore.

Your face is also prepped for moisturisation once you've used micellar face wipes, as your skin and pores are then ready for makeup application and the day ahead. 

When your skin is cleansed with micellar face wipes it also allows facial treatments to work their best as they don't have to battle against bacteria and dirt on the skin's surface.
