Argan Oil-Based Micellar Water: Your Beauty Weapon for Removing Long-Lasting Makeup

We all love long-lasting makeup that remains impeccable all day without need for re-application, however the removal of long wear makeup is very different from regular makeup!

Since long-lasting makeup covers more and adheres deeply to your face, you must protect your skin, even if you use quality beauty products. Here’s how to use and clean long-lasting foundation and waterproof mascara, in two easy steps. 

1. Prep the skin with a hydrating moisturizer
It is very important to prep – or protect – your skin before applying long-lasting foundation or eye makeup. Your face must be clean, and you should take the time to apply a moisturizer and let it penetrate the skin. This will act as a protection layer for the skin and avoid a “plaster” effect. 

Avoid splashing your face with cold water before applying long-lasting foundation: you will end up with a crackled effect! When it dries, this type of makeup creates a “shell”, so it should be applied on a moisturized skin that breathes freely. 

2. Remove makeup with an Argan oil-based micellar cleanser
It is during makeup removal that long-lasting foundation, mascara, lipstick and eye makeup cause problems. It doesn’t want to leave the skin! We then end up with a couple of clumpy lashes, spots here and there, and lipstick stain on the towel. 

To remove your long-lasting makeup on your eyes, lips or face, opt for the Garnier Micellar Water with Argan Oil! This amazing bi-phase product contains Argan oil, a key natural ingredient for removing longwear makeup – lipsticks, mascaras and powders included! This first phase melts the makeup, making it easier to remove. The second phase of this solution involves micelles, active cleansing agents that attract dirt and makeup – a revolutionary concept in the beauty world. 

Once mixed, these two phases become active, and they dissolve makeup. Never has makeup removal been so quick and easy! The best part is that this micellar solution doesn’t need to be rinsed off! To use apply the cleanser onto a cotton pad and apply gently, without rubbing, to the skin. The gentle formula will give your skin a deep pore clean without harming or irritating it. That’s why we recommend Micellar Bi-Phase for all skin types – even sensitive! Try it for yourself to see the results.
