With the onset of summer, it is time to alter our skincare routine to add the right kind of product. While most skincare junkies are aware of what micellar water and toner are, there still exists some confusion regarding its usage. You might think that micellar water and toner are just the SAME product with two fancy names, but it isn’t. It can be perplexing to understand how exactly each of these product works, even for skincare mongers. Let’s clear up the difference to understand what’s better for your summer skin.
Micellar water is a combination of oil and water that can remove makeup other impurities off your face effectively. You will notice tiny drops called micelles that help to cleanse the skin from dirt and grime, without stripping off the moisture. It is great to clean off waterproof stubborn makeup and cleanse your face while maintaining the hydration-all at once. If you apply makeup regularly then micellar should be a part of your skincare routine.
Toner on the other hand can be used to wipe off dirt and oil from your face. It can partially remove makeup as well. It comes with various active ingredients that can help to maintain the pH level of the skin, shrink pores, and remove dead cells. Depending on your skin concern and type, you must add a skin toner to keep your skin plump and hydrated.
Make sure you’re using both micellar water and toner throughout the summer to benefit your skin. You can use micellar water as the first step of your summer skincare routine to get rid of makeup and dirt. Follow up by a cleanser and use toner to get rid of any excess oil. Finish off with moisturiser and SPF.
