Micellar gel: description, types, rules of use

A relatively new product is starting to gain popularity among cosmetics for everyday skin care: micellar gel.

The gel is used to rinse makeup off the skin. In its composition and effectiveness, it is similar to ordinary micellar water, but unlike it, it has a rather dense structure and has an enveloping effect. This property makes it possible to more effectively rid the skin of impurities, while additionally moisturizing it. The main components of the gel are micelles, the smallest grains, the elements of which are capable of breaking down and absorbing fats. The concentration of micelles in the gel product is very high, so when in contact with the skin, they, like magnets, collect everything foreign from its surface: dust, dirt and make-up products.

Micelles gently remove dirt particles without harming the epidermis, gently cleansing and making it fresher. The gel is good because it matches any skin type and has several properties at the same time:

• cleans;
• removes makeup;
• tones up.

In addition, it can also be called "a remedy for the lazy", because to remove makeup in the evening you do not need to make unnecessary movements and waste time, a couple of minutes is quite enough. The gel not only perfectly cleanses the face, but also refreshes well. It is recommended to use micellar gel in the summer heat, as it does not dry out the skin and eliminates the need to apply a cream.

Besides, they can periodically refresh the skin during a sultry day. Due to the almost complete absence of parabens, silicones and various fragrances in the composition, the gel can be considered an environmentally friendly product.

Although micellar gel is suitable for all skin types: sensitive, normal and combined, oily, there are its varieties:

• for delicate makeup removal (suitable for sensitive skin);
• for deep cleansing;
• for problem skin;
• for eye makeup remover.

Some gels are recommended to lather with water before application and apply light massage movements to the dermis, and then rinse. Each bottle of micellar product says which way to use it.
