Editor's Pick: Vichy Pureté Thermale Makeup Removing Micellar Cleansing Wipes Review

Lack of time is no excuse for not cleaning, which is why no-rinse cleansers like wipes/napkins and micellar water have become an integral part of our gym bags and purses, as well as on our desks and nightstands. But what happens when you combine a cleansing wipe with micellar technology? Answer? Vichy Pureté Thermale Micellar Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes.

WHAT IS MICELLEL TECHNOLOGY?

Micellar water, first introduced to us in France, quickly gained immense popularity in the US, and it's no wonder why. The science behind all micellar waters, also known as micellar technology, points to gentle micelles (microscopic cleansing molecules) that work together to trap and remove pore-clogging impurities from your skin's surface without any wear and tear. Recently, this technology has moved beyond liquid solutions and into the realm of cleansing wipes. The combination is perfect, as cleansing wipes are not only a convenient way to clean on the go, but also gentle products that do not require close proximity to the sink to use.

BENEFITS OF VICHY PURETE THERMALE MAKEUP REMOWING MICELLAR CLEANSING WIPES

Are you always on the go? Are you an avid gym goer? Do you like to cleanse your skin before bed? If you answered yes to all of these questions, these cleansing wipes are calling your name. These are the first cleansing wipes in Vichy's entire portfolio and just so happen to use the gentle micellar technology we know and love.

In terms of benefits, the 3-in-1 formula cleanses, removes waterproof makeup and soothes the skin. What else? The wipes are free of parabens and fragrances, making them a suitable cleansing option even for sensitive skin. Keep yours on your bedside table to cleanse your skin and remove make-up before bed from the comfort of your mattress, on your desk to energize at noon, or in your duffel bag to cleanse and soothe your sweaty skin.

HOW TO USE VICHY PURETE THERMALE MAKEUP MICELLAR CLEANSING WIPES FOR MAKE-UP REMOVAL

Step one:

Gently smooth the cleansing pad over all areas of the face and neck. You can do this just about anywhere - in the car, on the bed, at the table, etc. Depending on how much makeup you have on, you may need a couple of wipes to remove any remaining dirt and makeup. The best? There is no need to open the faucet.

Editor's Note: When removing eye make-up, place a damp cleansing pad on the closed eyelid and hold it there for a few seconds before rubbing it around the eye contour. This can help avoid harsh rubbing and pulling on the delicate skin around the eyes.  

Step two:

To ensure that all traces of dirt and make-up are removed from the surface of your skin, use the double cleansing method. The double cleaning method uses two cleaners in succession to thoroughly remove all traces of dirt, excess oil and impurities. Then apply a mild foaming cleanser to remove any remaining dirt.

Step three:

After cleansing, you should immediately lock in moisture and take into account any that may have been lost in the process of washing your face. While your skin is still slightly damp, apply your favorite moisturizer formulated for your skin type.

Step four:

If you're not new to using cleansing wipes, you're well aware that they can dry out quickly if not stored properly. To prevent this from happening, store napkins upside down. Moisture tends to seep to the bottom of the package, so when you flip it back over, you'll have the most wet wipe possible.

Micellar water is something I can't live a day without, so I was excited to try out these cleansing wipes that claim to work the same without having to repurchase cotton pads. After just one gentle wipe on my face, I found that most of my makeup, including waterproof mascara, was washed off the surface of my skin. And not only that, but it also made my skin incredibly fresh.
