Ban the Wipes!

Ladies, our face is very important to us. We kind of need it for the rest of our lives. So why are we ruining it by not taking care of our skin? Some of us do, but there are some things you may not know about the products you are using. 

Makeup remover wipes are not the best solution to take your makeup off. 

Some makeup remover wipes are not made with material that is kind to your skin. I am not talking about the makeup remover, I am talking about the wipes themselves. Some of them have wood-by products in them that when you use them, they create microscopic abrasions on your face, and they pull your skin more than just using a face wash to remove your makeup. YIKES! That means more wrinkles and more face problems sooner than you would hope ): 

I know that makeup wipes are so much easier sometimes, we all have those lazy days, but your skin is so important!!!!!!!!

AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T YOU DARE TAKE YOUR MAKEUP OFF WITH BABY WIPES. DON'T. DON'T.

seriously. The alcohol in the wipes is SO BAD for your face. 

Now, don't worry! I am here to give you some fabulous alternatives to makeup remover wipes (: 

Aveeno Positively Radiant Brightening Cleanser


This is my favorite product to use to take off my makeup, because it's a makeup remover and a face wash, so you can take two tasks and turn them into one (: This doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all, and I can rub all my eye makeup off without any problems. Definitely a much better alternative to wipes!
Pond's Cold Cream




Cold Cream used to be super popular back in the day, but it seems to have gone under the radar now, which I don't understand why. Seriously, this can take off ANY makeup. I use this to take off my stage makeup, and it takes it off no problem. Plus, it has a cooling component to it, so it calms your skin while you are taking your makeup off. You do need to wash your face after using cold cream though because it can make your skin oily, and you don't want that to set in! But, if you have makeup that's difficult to get off, or you want to get your makeup off really well, then you definitely should invest in some cold cream. (plus, most drugstores, well, at least the one I work at, have a generic version that works just as well, so you can save some money!)


Now, if you don't listen to me, and you still insist on using wipes, here's my recommendation to you:

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes



Simple face products are designed for people who have sensitive skin, so your face won't be as damaged if you use these. However, I still think that you should try some other options for makeup remover first before you make your final decision on how to take off your makeup. Trust me, you will be glad you did in about 30 years (: 







What are some products you like to use to take of your makeup? I would love to know (:
