Hold the Suds

Cleansing waters have been all the rage lately and it turns out that French women who've been using this technique for some time, were totally on to something. I must admit- I was pretty skeptical at first. I wear makeup daily, have been hooked on Neutrogena makeup remover wipes for as long as I can remember and associate a squeaky clean face with suds from a traditional cleanser. After my dad (yes, you know you're a product junky when even your dad forwards you articles on the newest beauty craze) said he saw this new Micellar water product I thought, what the heck, why not! After the first use I wasn't convinced that my face was clean. Sure, my makeup came off immediately but it was so fast and effortless I was sure it was enough. I decided to stick with it for a week or two and then I was hooked. Could cleansing my face be this fast and easy? It is! There are several brands that have some kind of Micellar water so I'm curious to try a few more but this one from Simple is a no brainer- it's only $8 at Target and the brand is known for simple, sensitive skin care. If you're not ready to ditch the suds, I get it, but for under $10 you have nothing to loose and truth be told- it's the perfect product to keep around for a super quick cleanse after a night out so you don't wake up with your eyelashes stuck together!
