I would NEVER have survived this annoying flash back to the early 1900's (seriously... that's what it was like!) without these handy dandy face wipes.
Ok - so during the hurricane was NOT the first time I used face wipes in place of soap and water. I admit it. Sometimes I am Ms. Lazypants and I wash my face using a face wipe- guilty as charged!! Sometimes its so much easier to face wipe than it is to actually go use makeup remover -and then- wash my face -and then- wipe the sink down since water will most likely be EVERYWHERE (small sink). I don't have a good reason for it other than when I get home I am exhausted and I feel like I am entitled to get LAZY. Yes... face wipes in place of washing your face is LAZY. I admit it - but whatever.. its the lesser evil compared to not washing face at all! Plus -we have all stumbled home late at night and woken up hungover looking like a crackhead with your eye makeup caked onto your lash line and pores black as smoke from the sins you were getting yourself into the night before - Kiss this scary person goodbye ladies(fanfare trumpet sound) face wipes to the rescue!
I was going back and forth between Neutrogena and Garnier face wipes. Both were good but I was concerned about the chemicals hiding in their wipes. The older I get the more conscious I am of the connection between the products we use and the cancer causing chemicals they contain so when possible- I like to find a healthier alternative.
***Cue Burt's Bee's Facial Cleansing Towelettes
These face wipes are gentle on my skin, smell great, and take off ALL my eye makeup. Most importantly, after I am finished using it I feel refreshed, clean and not overly dried out like some other face wipes leave my skin. They are extremely gentle but get the job done!
They do not contain any of the 3 deadly P's: parabens, phthalates and petrochemicals.
This is MAJOR since those 3 things should be avoided like the plague and are commonly found in other brands of wipes.
It costs about $6 for 30 wipes which oddly enough ends up being one of the least expensive brands of wipes on the market today - double bonus!
They comes in sensitive (white package with cotton extract) or regular (yellow package with white tea extract). I like the regular because I feel it did a better job at taking off my waterproof mascara but the sensitive works well too.
If you are a fellow LAZY lady who likes to face wipe every now and then instead of washing your face the old fashioned way, I highly recommend you ditch the toxic towels and try Burt's Bee's Facial Cleansing Towelettes!
