Brilio.net - Micellar water is a facial cleansing product containing microscopic particles called micelles. This content functions to remove dirt, oil and makeup from the face. Micelles are molecules that have a special structure, with a hydrophobic (water-fearing) part in the middle and a hydrophilic (water-loving) part on the outside.
This structure allows micellar water to attract and bind dirt and makeup residue on the surface of the skin, making it easier to clean when removed with cotton wool or tissue.
The advantage of micellar water lies in its ability to gently cleanse the skin without requiring rinsing, making it very practical to use in your daily beauty routine. Additionally, micellar water is often formulated without alcohol and perfume, making it a suitable choice for sensitive skin.
Apart from cleaning makeup or dirt stuck to the face, it turns out that micellar water has other functions that not many people know about. One of them was shared by a TikTok user with the account name @iampuputri, who uses micellar water to clean makeup puffs.

"Life hacks clean puffs," wrote the account owner in the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net reported from the TikTok account @iampuputri, Monday (5/8).
The method is quite easy, you only need to prepare micellar water which is almost gone and a dirty makeup puff. After that, prepare a closed container or you can also use a micellar water bottle. Put the makeup puff into a micellar water bottle or a closed container that is almost finished with micellar water.

Close the bottle and shake it until all the remaining makeup that is stuck to the puff is gone. Furthermore, pour the makeup puff into the container, then throw away the dirty micellar water. After that, rinse the makeup puff using running water until clean.

Micellar water can clean dirty makeup puffs.
Micellar water is effective in cleaning dirty makeup puffs because of its ability to remove dirt and makeup residue in an efficient way. This product contains micelles, which are small molecules that have a unique structure with parts that attract oil and dirt.
When micellar water is applied to a makeup puff, the micelles function like a magnet, attracting and binding oil particles, dirt, and makeup residue from the surface of the puff. This process allows the micellar water to clean the puff effectively without damaging it or leaving residue.
