You‘ve heard that little old wives tale - each time you fail to remove your make-up before bed, you age by three days. And that’s all it is. An old wives’ tail. 

Well, the 3 days bit might be absurd, but the general consensus from dermatologists is that your skin ages prematurely if it isn’t cleansed properly. The beauty of the cleansing ritual, however is that it’s never been easier to wipe away the day’s impurities thanks to the arrival of micellar cleansing waters – cleanser which is just that, water, but laden with microscopic particles of oil which assist in wiping away make-up in seconds. 

Instant, refreshing and thorough; cleansing water is steadily securing itself as the busy girl’s new daily skincare mainstay. So tidy away those heavy, milk laden cream cleansers of winter and drench yourself in the tranquil cleansing waters that signal the official start of summer.
