Product Information

Using a face scrub a few times a week encourages smoother, clearer skin and helps other skincare products absorb better by buffing away dead skin cells. Until a few years ago, many contained microbeads – small, plastic exfoliating particles which don't degrade or dissolve in water. These have now been banned in the UK and replaced with alternatives such as oats, sugar and coffee. If you have sensitive skin, apply a lighter pressure when rubbing onto your face, or mix a little bit with your cleanser for a gentler effect. Acid toner Infused with organic English Rose water and soothing anti-oxidant rich Chamomile, skin is gently cleansed, whilst the natural moisture barrier is maintained. Reveal a clear, radiant complexion. A clarifying micellar water that effectively removes makeup and the build-up of impurities to reveal a fresh and clean complexion. Perfect when used on its own or as a double cleanse, this refreshing micellar water cleanses the skin of makeup and daily grime without compromising the skin's delicate acid mantle. A blend of natural surfactants derived from Apple amino acids and Indian Soapnut help to lift impurities from the skin, whilst organic English Rose and soothing Chamomile is known to leave the skin feeling calm. The purifying formula is gentle enough to use on eyes and reveals a clean, soft and radiant complexion. If you don’t like physical scrubs, acid toners are an alternative way to effectively exfoliate and improve your skin’s smoothness. These contain low levels of ingredients such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid and lactic acid. Although they might sound a little scary, the acids used are commonly found in natural substances such as fruits, sugar cane and even milk. Applied to the face on a cotton pad, they help to remove dead skin cells, even out skin tone and promote collagen production, so you’ll be rewarded with a softer, brighter and more even complexion.

By using gentle cleansers, micellar water isn’t as harsh as more traditional facial cleansers, which can strip your skin of oil, leaving your skin feeling tight and dry. Yes and no, says Dr. Vij. Micellar water can get rid of most makeup and some waterproof cosmetics because it does contain a mild detergent. If you prefer a richer texture, opt for a cleansing balm. These semi-solid oil-based cleansers mix with water to create a slight creamy foam that effectively removes makeup and excess oil without drying out skin, protecting its moisture balance and leaving it soft and moisturised.
