The MRL facial microfibre cleansing mitts are non irritating andcontain no chemicals. The surface area of a microfibre cloth has adense pile that is made of many tiny threads, more than a normalwash cloth. The many micro-fibres enables the mitt to lift make-upfrom the skin surface. Smaller fibres can get into cracks too small fornormal facial cloths, and can get under finer particles of make-upand daily grime with less irritation. It can be used alone with waterto remove make up as a pre cleanse, before using the Goji MallowCleanse , or on its own as an alternative to facial wipes
