6 Reasons Why You Should Ditch Your Cleanser for Micellar Water

Chances are the cleansers you’ve been using require rinsing. Guess what? micellar water doesn't have to be washed off. That’s right: Easily wipe away the product with a cotton pad and you’re good to go. 

If you’re always busy, using micellar water can eliminate a step from your skincare routine because it simultaneously cleanses skin while removing your makeup. 

Since micellar water was initially created in response to France’s harsh tap water, it’s the perfect product for sensitive skin since its gentle ingredients won’t make your complexion freak out. Formulas are free of soap, fragrance, and alcohol, among other harmful ingredients that often cause irritation or inflammation.

It might be tempting after a late night to remove makeup in one swoop with a face wipe, but they’re often saturated with chemicals. Micellar water is just as easy and convenient to remove makeup, and a lot safer on the skin. If you can’t bear to let go of your facial wipes, Simple has adapted its micellar formula into a wipe format.

Getting a cat-eye right the first time is rare. If your liquid liner flick is crooked, use a Q-tip soaked in miceller water to clean up your mistakes.

Instead of traveling with a makeup remover and face wash, you can lighten your toiletry kit by packing a micellar water that will cleanse and remove makeup in one go throughout your entire trip. Bonus: many micellar waters are also super hydrating.
