Micellar solutions have been all the rage in beauty land, most notably Bioderma, however I don't think I'm wrong in saying it is a bugger to get hold of? (Although I did hear in the grapevine Boots would be stocking it soon?) Well, L'Oréal have saved the day with their new Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution which is available in most high street chemists and supermarkets.

Before I discovered this beauty I was taking my make up off with a hot cloth cleanser then washing my face with the gel cleanser I was testing at that time. This was a pain to do every night which was actually making my skin worse because the thought of having to slave over a sink for 10 minutes every night made me reach for my make up wipes in bed. I also read an article that washing your face every night and day was actually bad for your skin. Think pH balance, it has been well proven that if you wash any sensitive part of your body with soapy substances too often it can have a detrimental effect (thrush, anyone?) so you should actually wash your face at the sink just once a day. This is were Micellar solutions are God send. At night I use this on a few cotton pads and it melts everything off, I then tone and moisturise all in the comfort of my own bed whilst watching The Kardashians! It isn't very good at taking off eye make up but I have another little beauty for that! (blog post coming soon) This product has actually saved my skin, not only does it take EVERYTHING off its also really easy and lazy people friendly! It is great for sensitive skin, helps tone as well as remove make up and doesn't leave your skin feeling dry! If you have been eyeing up Bioderma or any other Micellar Solutions but haven't been sure, you should try this one out. It is so affordable, usually retailing at £4.99 but on offer a lot, it isn't going to break the bank! This 200ml bottle normally lasts me about 4 weeks which for less than a fiver, I ain't complaining! There is only one thing I don't like about this and that is the packaging. The lid is just a bit too square so trying to pour some onto your cotton pad can be a bit annoying as there can be some spillages, this aside it doesn't look to bad on my dressing table. Overall I think if the packaging was different it would be 10/10 for me!
Be gone sink, I am too tired for yo' nonsense!!
