3 Ways You’re Using Your Face Wipes Wrong

Remember: Facial wipes are not a replacement for water and cleanser. Wipes contain surfactants and solubilizers that linger on the surface of the skin post-cleansing. When left on for too long, they can make your skin dry and cause irritation. If you're travelling, correcting a makeup mistake or are too tired to wash your face, then and only then use a cleansing wipe. At other times, it's best to stick to your foaming face wash and water.

Aggressive rubbing of any kind — whether it's using your fingers or a facial wipe — is harsh for your skin. Even if you're trying to remove waterproof makeup, use medium pressure and wipe in a long, downward direction. The active ingredients in the cleansing wipe will dissolve the makeup particles and help lift them with ease.

You wear the maximum number of makeup products on your eyes — and most of them are waterproof. We recommend starting with your eyes as this prevents bacteria and dirt of other parts of your face from entering the eyes. An easy trick is to fold the wipes into four and use each side for one part of the face. If possible use a different wipe for your eyes and face.
