Not only did I enjoy the evening for the New Simple skincare Micellar cleanser water launch, I felt inspired by the 3 insiders who attended to talk us through what Micellar is, how it works and why this is a must have skincare product.
I was supposed to attend their last product launch at the Ham Yard Hotel; only to embarrassingly turn up on the wrong day! Oops. So I made sure I did’t make that mistake again. This time, the launch took place at the new Mondrian Hotel near the Blackfriars Bridge and OXO tower. We were guided to the lower ground floor where the Agua Spa was situated and off course; the Simple event hosted by BeautySeen PR. Whilst we waited for a slot to chat to insiders such as Doctor Philipa Lowe and Lisa Valencia (Celeb Makeup Artist); we helped ourselves to some tasty sushi and pure green detox juice (thank goodness as I had an empty stomach). Finally we managed to sit down and hear all about Micellar, what is Micellar! Is this just a fancy name to sell a product; or something we should be raving about (the latter!).
So what is Micellar water? How Dr Philipa Lowe explained it; the name micellar takes the name of micelles which are tiny round balls of cleansing molecules that float in the water shaped…like a sperm! Has a head and has a tale! Once applied to the skin, the micellars come in to direct contact with dirt and oil and saps it out! Yes I mentioned sperm earlier; it is an important analogy because the way it works is that the head sticks on the cotton pad and the tail helps brush on the skin and sap the oil and dirt like a vacuum. This replaces any cleansers and toners out there and just one bottle; it can lift every dirt at every corner where you wouldn’t think be dirty. You think you washed your hands clean? Try again and test with the Simple Micellar water (which I did and mortified as to how much dirt still lifts on to the cotton pad).
Not a lot of cleansers removes thick and waterproof makeup but this cleanser helps break down the toughest liquids (like waterproof mascara) and to remove the makeup without forcing it by rubbing and pulling your skin with aggression. The Simple Micellar water cleanser is tripled filtered, purified water…their purest possible water to minimize contamination and potential irritation. The ingredients are so gentle it hydrates your face instantly, no need to rinse at all.
I came home eager to try this out; I was completely inspired by the ladies at the event and 3 days in, using morning and night (and removing makeup); I have cleared my makeup wipes, cleansers and toners. I definitely recommend Simple Micellar water for cleansing for all skin types and a 200ml bottle for just £4.49! Another top tip; splash some micellar water on your makeup brushes and can instantly remove grime and dirt with a cotton pad.
Thank you BeautySeen PR for introducing me to Simple’s Micellar cleansing water and a wonderful evening at the Agua Spa in the Mondrian Hotel.
