Who has used makeup wipes before?! Everyone, right?! They’re so easy to reach for when the last thing you want to do is your full skincare routine before bed. Believe me, been there before! The only thing they’ve going for themselves is they are at least better than going to bed with your makeup on. As simple as they are they’re not really worth it, unfortunately. But the good news is, there is something better for you! And it’s almost just as simple, but way better for your skin! So let’s chat what to use instead of makeup wipes and why!
But first, 3 quick reasons why you need to toss those wipes out today before I share my favorite makeup removing product!
They’re Irritating & Disrupt Your Skin’s Natural Oils
According to this article from The Everygirl, there’s also the potential for skin breakage, explained Savannah St. Jean, owner of Savannah Rae Beauty. “Often, makeup wipes contain high levels of alcohol and harmful chemicals which can cause dryness and irritation and disrupt the PH balance of your skin,” she noted. “When you combine that with the texture of the wipes, you open yourself up to the risk of micro-tears. This can cause signs of premature aging over time.”
They’re Not Really Getting Your Face Clean!
Every time I’ve used them I swear I wake up with mascara all over my face! Like did it even do anything?! Also, have you seen this video?! The answer is no, they’re not doing anything ha!
They’re Also Terrible for the Environment!
Makeup wipes are not biodegradable so if you’re looking for ways to be more sustainable and reduce your waste, let that be one of the things you swap out!
