In a late-night banter session with one of my best friends, he dramatically responded to my witty text by saying that I’d, “scolded, yelled at, and berated,” him. Well, that’s pretty much how we’ve been made to feel about using face wipes, right?
Of course, it’s for good reason, as it’s pretty clear that face wipes are awful for the environment. After all, 9.3 million wet wipes are flushed down the toilet every day. They’re harsh on the skin, too. They’re ineffective at cleansing properly, and the ingredients list isn’t doing us any favours either.
So what are we actually supposed to use instead? That’s where reusable makeup remover pads and cloths come in handy.
A double cleanse, where you use a heavier balm or makeup remover in the first step and a lighter cleanser during the second, is always a smart move. Reusable cloths and pads are ideal for this, so if you’re still finding it hard to wean yourself off the wipes, keep scrolling for our top picks.
