Eliminate dirt, dust, and impurities from your skin by using the gentle yet effective micellar water that cleanses the face without needing to rinse it off with water. The best part of this cleanser is that it doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry. To freshen, revive, and double cleanse your face, you can follow this step with a soothing face wash. Cleanse your face twice a day and exfoliate your skin with a gentle scrub twice or thrice a week.
