For several years, videos of beauty bloggers testing the effectiveness of makeup removers on orange peels have been going viral on social networks. Foundation is applied on top and then cleansed alternately with hydrophilic oil and micellar water. The cleaner the orange peel remains, the better the product works; This is the conclusion of the bloggers. So is this really the case?
Hydrophilic oil and micellar water are for slightly different purposes. Yes, both products remove makeup, but they do it in their own way. micellar water It is suitable for local eye and lip make-up removal. And it does not always cope one hundred percent with cleansing the skin from all kinds of contaminants (dust, sunscreen). hydrophilic oil It dissolves oil, dirt, make-up and sunscreen when in contact with the skin. Therefore, it is even used to remove waterproof makeup. It would seem that the choice is clear – hydrophilic oil can cope with many more types of contaminants than micellar water. However, both products can be combined as they can sometimes leave an oily film feeling on the eyes. For example, use micellar to remove makeup from eyes and lips, and then use hydrophilic oil to completely remove impurities from the skin.
No matter what product you use, any skin cleansing is best done in two stages. The first stage is the removal of makeup and sunscreen using hydrophilic oil. The second is deep cleansing of the skin with gel or foam (depending on the type and needs of the epidermis). Performing both steps ensures that the skin is completely cleansed of any foreign substances.
