Call me lazy, but the last thing on my mind after an exhaustive long day is rinsing my face with ice cold water and taking all the makeup off. But if all the beauty experts and derms on the planet are to be trusted, the grime must come off before going to bed. The promise of cleaning without water prompted me to try out Neostrata Micellar Cleanser. After being outside in the humid weather, my skin welcomed the cooling cleanser with cucumber extracts, which will definitely make it a summer staple for me. What made my skin squeaky clean without a drop of water you ask? The folks at Neostrata credit the innovative micelle technology as the key. It’s a round-shaped cluster of cleaning agents that open up and attract impurities after coming into contact with the skin’s surface. Now I have no excuse for not going to bed with a clean face. —Samra Habib
