A sensitive issue 

One of the most common skin myths is that “sensitive” is a skin type, along with its pals “dry”, “oily” and “combination”. Actually, sensitive skin is a condition that can come and go depending on many factors like pollution (we’re looking at you, haze), stress (and you, boss!) and even dehydration. 

So, whether your skin is sensitive at this moment or not, it can be a good idea to use formulas made for sensitive skin as a guard against any irritations that might come up. 
That’s where Simple comes in. As its name suggests, Simple products are free from all those science-y, scary ingredients, have no artificial perfumes or colours, and even use triple purified water. 

Micellar magic 

If you’re looking to try just one product, we recommend the new superstar in town – Simple Kind to Skin Micellar Cleansing Water. With their Breton striped shirts and red lipstick, French women have been on the pulse of beauty trends and have been using micellar water for years. Look closely at backstage pictures from Fashion Week and you’ll see that makeup artists adore it too. It’s because micellar water has special cells that trap oil within them. Just pop some on a cotton pad and wipe over your face to remove all makeup and dirt, leaving your face hydrated and clean. You also won’t have to rinse it off, so it’s perfect for lazy girls. 

Always on the go? Simple Kind to Skin Micellar Cleansing Wipes are your new favourite travel buddy. They’re super hydrating and can remove all your makeup with one wipe, so you won’t wake up looking like a dehydrated panda after a long haul flight (or a big night out…). Keep them in your bag to solve any foundation- on-top makeup emergencies too.
