do you use micellar water as a first cleanse?

Micellar water is an acceptable form of a first cleanser. Anything can be a first or second cleanse tbh, as long as it cleanses your skin. You can use micellar water twice if you really want to.

I use to do that but switched to cleansing oil/balm to stop using cotton pads and reduce waste.

not anymore 1. it’s not that effective to deep cleanse the makeup/sunscreen (not to mention the pollution) 2. need cotton pads and is kinda irritating my skin 3. it’s took time to remove my makeup like at least 3-5 cotton pads but still had some residu sometimes, specially the eye makeup now i change to cleansing oil since it’s more effective, gentle (no need harsing skin with cotton pads), faster, and plus eco friendly eventually the price tag is more expensive but since you only need 1-2 pump, it last longer and no need to buy cotton pads

i don’t everyday buuuuut when i do i use it the morning

I use it everyday to remove my makeup and sunscreen but i follow up to my gel cleanser to double cleanse ✨
