The Maskne Breakout Banishers That Have Worked For Me
Drunk Elephant
E-Rase Milki Micellar Water, £11.70After wearing a mask on and off throughout the day, I like to give my skin a thorough cleanse when I get home. The aim is to get rid of all the sweat, makeup and sebum that has built-up, so I always start with a micellar water. A great one is Drunk Elephant’s debut micellar water. It’s formulated with ultra-mild micelles, which work to dissolve and lift away makeup and grime. I’m a great believer in double cleansing, so I follow with a balm cleanser.
