Recently I was in my Chiropractor’s office thumbing through a beauty magazine, and I read an article on Micellar water. It has become all the rage. I am always a skeptic, but I thought, “Okay, I’ll bite.” I’ll usually try anything once.
Micellar water is soft water with cleansing oil micelles (molecules). The tiny micelles work like magnets, attracting impurities like sebum, oil, and dirt. Micellar water cleans your skin without drying out your skin. It’s an all in one thing. It works to clean, tone, and moisturize your skin. It also works as a make-up remover. You don’t even have to rinse afterward.
To start, I would need distilled water. Rose water seemed like a no-brainer. You can make your own, but it was just easier for me to buy it. It’s well known for nourishing and supporting the PH of the skin.
Directions for a 4oz batch of homemade micellar water:
• 6 tbsp rose water
• 4 tsp (alcohol-free) witch hazel
• 2 tsp vegetable glycerin
• 6 drops almond oil (or other carrier oil)
Add each ingredient to the 4oz dropper bottle.
Shake well before use.
After cleansing the skin, drop some homemade micellar water on a cotton ball and gently wipe it over your face and neck. You won’t need to rinse. Use in the morning and before bed. This doesn’t have any preservatives so make small batches. It lasts a couple of weeks in the fridge.
Your skin will be clean, refreshed, and so soft. This luxurious rose-scented micellar water will give any store bought product a run for its money!
