As a beauty expert, I could wax lyrical about avoiding face wipes. How they’re not a replacement for your cleansing routine and that they will never leave your skin truly, deeply clean. But, I can appreciate that sometimes you need a quick fix. Let’s say you’re going to a festival, staying at a friends house or are on the go: face wipes can actually be a great option. Granted, you should never rely on them day in day out, but using them once or twice is not going to do your skin any harm.
Ask any professional MUA to show you the contents of their kit and they’ll likely bring out a bag of face wipes. They’re a great thing to have on hand for touching up makeup mistakes and removing the remnants of mascara left on your face post-cleanse. So, if you’ve steered clear thus far, it’s time to treat yourself to a pack – or two.
