In recent years, skin-care obsessives have made the case for multistep face washing for a more thorough removal of makeup and grime. But every extra step can mean another product. That’s why Artis created its Phantom Cleansing Silks, a facial cleanser that streamlines three steps—oil, foam and exfoliation—into one easy ritual. The cleanser comes in the form of “silks,” small sheets made from ingredients like jojoba oil and vitamin E, woven using patented nanofiber technology ($55 for a pack of eight). To use, simply stick the patch to your skin, mist with water, and rub to cleanse and exfoliate. The benefits go beyond effective and efficient skin care; since the product doesn’t activate until it touches water, there’s no need for excess preservatives to stabilize the ingredients, as there would be in a conventional cleansing gel, cream or foam. —Cady Lang
