Hi my beauties!
In this blog I’ve picked out my most favorite micellar
waters, cleansing butters, cleansing balms and even cleansing oils. Now there
are several options available in the market but the ones that I’ve picked are out
of the ones that I have used.
I am someone who's a makeup wearer on a daily basis also I
like to use some sort of a cleansing balm, cleansing oil or even a micellar water
to get rid of the makeup or if I am not wearing makeup just to break down the
dirt and grime and also this sunscreen
I do have some incredibly affordable options here. Also, in
this blog are some different formulations for you to choose from.
Now without further ado let's dive right into this blog.
First let's dive in and talk about the most basic
formulation available out there in the market that is micellar waters. Now
there are so many different micellar waters in the Indian market and also there
are some incredible options available.
I have five products here for you that I personally really
like and I feel they do the job really well and the first one that I want to
talk about is:
Maybelline Iron Lip Makeup Remover
This comes in a very small teeny-mini bottle. It really
helps whenever you're traveling just shove it in your bag specifically this one,
I like when I am traveling. Talking about the product itself it's a pretty
gentle formulation it gets rid of your mascara, even your water-resistant
eyeliner for that matter. If you are someone who's wearing a very heavy
foundation this may not be as suitable to get rid of the heavy foundation. You
will need some sort of a cleansing cream or a cleansing butter or a balm to kind
of melt the entire foundation.
Overall, I feel if you're wearing light makeup or you just
want to get rid of dirt, grime and sunscreen from your face then this is a very
good option. It also comes in a tall bottle which is a similar formulation as
well which is great also, I’ve used that one as well.
Moving on to the second one I have an another one which is a drugstore product again excellent, super popular a lot of you like it as well. I love this as well it is:
Garnier Micellar Water
It's one of the most popular cleansing micellar waters
available out there in the market. It comes in a pink bottle as well and it
comes in the yellow one. I have always preferred and liked the yellow one. This
in particular will get rid of your heavy foundations as well, it gets rid of
any sort of water-resistant mascara or eyeliners. Even your heavy eye makeup
like your glitters and all.
I’ve used the jumbo size bottle as well that's what I keep
at home. This one again is super travel friendly of course with micellar waters
before you use you have to shake them well to mix the oil and the entire
formulation in the bottle.
Overall, I feel this in particular the Garnier one is one of
the best that's available out there. Super affordable and very easily available.
Moving on to the third micellar water and this is a much gentler
formulation. This is an oil free formula, it is:
Neutrogena Oil-Free Makeup Remover
This again is something I’ve used a full bottle of in the
past and I repurchased it again and again. This is a great formula guys if in case
you want to get rid of your water-resistant mascara eyeliners, even your
foundation for that matter.
Now for me I feel whenever you're using a heavy foundation, I
use it very rarely I like to use a very simple very thin layer of foundation on
my face and I like to go in with lighter formulations. But if you are someone
who needs more coverage and you use a heavy foundation, a micellar water does
the job pretty well.
But I personally like using some sort of a cleansing cream,
cleansing oil or a butter because that really gets down and gets the job done,
it really breaks down the makeup really well. So, I am going to talk about
those options as well but if you are looking for something that's easily
available, affordable, run-of-the-mill, does the job really well you could go
in for this.
Now this has some calming ingredients as well and soothing
ingredients. So, if you are someone who has sensitive skin condition, you can
go in for this even if you have acne prone skin this has allentoin which is
extremely calming, also has aloe leaf juice which is great for the skin, glycerin
which really makes sure that your skin doesn't feel stripped out.
This is a product that's very easily available online or even
at a chemist near you and definitely worth spending on.
Then moving on to another micellar water this is a little
bit on the higher end of things but definitely great for sensitive skin. What I
am referring to is:
Bioderma Sesinio Bio H2O
I really love this product especially if you're sensitive
skin you are likely to like this product because it's hypoallergenic, it is
fragrance and alcohol free. A lot of people I know who have sensitive skin
condition and have acne prone skin in specific like to go in with this. It gets
rid of any sort of makeup and is pretty good with water resistant makeup as
well. Even heavy makeup for that matter like when I do my smokey eye looks in
all and I go in with this and try to remove it, it does the job easily and
really well of course.
A little bit on the higher end of things but I would say if
you are someone who is sensitive skin or if you have some sort of a skin
condition like a melasma or if you have hyperpigmentation and you're looking
for something that's extremely gentle or even if you have acne prone skin, I
would highly recommend going for this one.
The last micellar water is:
L’Oréal Paris Dermo Expertise Makeup Remover
It's a great product, a good micellar water does the job of cleansing
your foundation, your mascara your heavy eyeshadows really well and I have used
about two three bottles of that product. It is indeed a great product from the drugstore,
lies in the same price range, very easily available.
So that's my fifth and the last micellar water recommendation
for you guys.
Now if you're someone who wants to minimize the use of
cotton because when you're using a micellar water you have to go in with a
cotton pad or some sort of a cotton ball to cleanse your face but if you want
to minimize that you want something that's a lot more sustainable.
I highly recommend moving towards cleansing oils, butters
and balms because with them you can just take some on your palms, massage it
gently just to warm up the product and then massage it into your skin. It
really breaks down the makeup, the dirt grime even the sunscreen. There are
products available for different skin types, different skin conditions and
concerns. I am going to talk about a few of them that I really like.
The first one that I want to talk about is cleansing oils first
so, the cleansing oil that I have here is:
Innisfree Green Tea Cleansing Oil
This I feel is a great product. There are some ingredients
that I want to talk about very quickly before that this has fragrance so if you
have sensitive skin condition you might want to test this out first, do some
sort of a patch test before going in and applying it on your face.
A couple of interesting ingredients here is sunflower seed
oil, you also have panthenol, you have butylene glycol which is a conditioning and
a softening agent which is put in cleansing oils like this, it also has tea tree
oil. This has salicylic acid, a lot of cleansing oils and cleansing butters in
particular have salicylic acid in them in pregnancy obviously one cannot use
salicylic acid so, if you are a pregnant woman, please stay away from a product
like this.
Overall, love the product, it's great, I have used it in the
past also and I really like the way it breaks down the makeup and trust me it
breaks some of the heaviest makeups down. So, I had one of my relatives visit
me and they came back from a wedding and they were removing their wedding makeup
with this particular thing and it broke down completely and beautifully.
After using this you just have to wash off your face with a
good face wash going with your toner. I think this is a great cleansing oil
that's available in the Indian market.
Another cleansing oil recommendation from me would be:
Klaire's Cleansing oil
I really like the product; it comes with some pretty good
ingredient list. It does have fragrance so, if your sensitive skin condition you
may definitely want to patch test check it out first to see whether it works
for you or not.
The ingredients that have listed for this particular
cleansing oil is it's formulated with black bean oil which helps control sebum so
if you are someone who's acne prone you definitely want to patch test it first
but if it works for you, it can really do good for your skin but definitely
patch test like I said.
It also has hohoba seed oil, soybean oil, tocopherol acetate,
tocopherol is a form of vitamin E, shea butter and it removes your makeup really
well and it breaks down the dirt and grime.
Now I am someone who like to use my cleansing oils in
particular for breaking down my foundation. So, what I would do is the day I am
not wearing makeup I would just go in if I am feeling lazy with the cleansing micellar
water, take it on a cotton pad just wipe off my face entirely with it or if I am
just wearing an eyeliner and some mascara, I would use micellar water other
than that you don't need a micellar water if you have a cleansing oil and you
could even go in for a cleansing cream or a butter because that can just do the
job of removing the mascara, the foundation, the eye makeup everything down for
you so the Klaire's one is my second recommendation for a cleansing oil and something
that I personally really loved.
Moving on to my favorite category here I love cleansing
creams and cleansing butters because I feel the way cleansing butters cleansing
balms break down your makeup nothing else does and you really get that sort of
a feel that you really cleanse your face it gets down to every particle of
makeup on your skin.
My first most favorite product no surprises is:
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm
I have used so many tubs of this and I prefer the small tub
because I am someone who travels quite a lot. This is super-duper portable to
carry. Now this is an all-in-one formula it's not drying, non-stripping, it'll
get rid of every damn thing, your waterproof eyeliner mascara, your heavy eyeshadows,
your very heavy foundations, full coverage foundations it really cleanses the
skin really well and also this has vitamin E which makes it a known stripping
formula.
I know this is on the higher end of things, it's a high-end
product but if you can stretch your budget a little bit then this is a product
that I personally absolutely adore and definitely highly recommend. Also, this
is a product that has no fragrance and no phthalates so, it can be used by many
different skin types. Even sensitive skin condition can definitely try this
product. If you're acne-prone and you want a good cleansing balm this is the
one I can't recommend. Then we have a cleansing cream and this is a fairly
affordable product because little bit it goes a long way and you get a great quantity
what I am referring to is:
Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Cream
This is a great cream to break down your sunscreen, your dirt and grime on a daily basis. If you're a college grower or generally someone who does not wear a lot of makeup you can definitely go in with this one, it’s something that I really like. Couple of ingredients that I do want to mention here it has moringa oil, moringa oil is really hydrating moisturizing on the skin. This also has soap water; soap water basically is a great ingredient to deep cleanse.
This even gets rid of your makeup really well fairly well. I
would say it doesn't get down and just cleanse everything from your face but it
does the job of cleansing quite a lot of makeup you do have. To work this product
a little bit extra in order to make sure that entire of your makeup is off but
if you're someone who has a very heavy foundation this may not be able to break
that.
Also, it's a very lightweight product so if your oily skin, combination
skin you are likely to love this product because the cream that you have here
is super-duper whipped up formula it's like a very fluffy cream. You need very
little and then you can just work that into your skin. Again, something that I
love and can recommend.
My last product recommendation for today would be a
cleansing jelly. This is a very different formulation but a great one at that
and really lightweight. What I am referring to is:
Earth Rhythm Gel To Milk Cleanser – Pink Pomelo
First, I want to talk about the texture of this product, it's
like a jam right there, it’s super-duper whipped up, you can just dig in into
this and you know it will cleanse your entire makeup completely. This is very
good for daily use as well.
Now this is an oil-based formula but it is formulated without
formaldehydes and phthalates which is what makes it a great product. Even if you
have sensitive skin condition you can definitely go in with this product or you
have acne-prone skin. In fact, many different types will actually enjoy the
product.
This is like a sort of a red gel in the tub but when you
take it in your fingertips and massage it. It breaks down into some sort of a
milk and then just cleanses your entire face. The ingredients that are listed
in this product are it has a rose up oil, grapefruit, it has beetroot extract,
citric acid, ascorbic acid, tocopherol and salicylic acid.
I feel is a great product, you also get another version
which is the Pumpkin Enzyme version, same thing basically and the formulation
is also pretty much the same. I have used that one as well but honestly, I
prefer this a little bit more also because I feel the texture of both of the
products is great.
This one I feel does the job of cleansing your makeup a tad
bit better.
So, my beauties with that it's a wrap. I really hope that
you enjoyed watching this video and were able to pick out a few products for
your skin type and skin concern.
Also, let me know in the comment section about what you feel
about these products.
Bye my beauties and don’t forget to love yourself.
