The Best No-Rinse Facial Cleansing Waters to Have on Hand This Summer

Between the outdoor drinks on a humid night, regular beach days and potentially more frequent trips to the gym, the one thing summer’s roster of activities all have in common is sweat. While sweating is perfectly normal, not removing it from your skin’s surface can lead to all sorts of problems (read: acne on our face, chest and back). This is just one of the reasons why you should keep a no-rinse facial cleanser in tow for all of summer's sweaty situations.

Micellar water cleansers, otherwise known as no-rise facial cleansers, are ideal for summer when you’re seemingly always on the go. Micelle technology allows you to cleanse your skin without the need to rinse or rub. The micelle cleansing molecules act like a magnet, working to attract, surround and lift away dirt, oil and other surface impurities from your skin without compromising your skin’s hydration levels to leave it feeling clean and refreshed. Ahead, we rounded up a few of our favorite micellar cleansing waters for summer.

La Roche-Posay Micellar Water Ultra For Sensitive Skin
