Makeup wipes are popular for a lot of reasons, here I will cover just a few:
They are travel-friendly.
They may be more affordable than your favorite cleanser.
They are all-around convenient.
You can use them while your head is already on your pillow and too tired to wash.
Are makeup wipes all they are cracked up to be? Here I will cover some of the cons of using wipes:
Most makeup wipes are not biodegradably leading them to stay in landfills.
They don’t really clean your skin, makeup wipes spread around the makeup while it looks like it’s clean. It can push the makeup and any other debris deeper into the skin
The chemicals in the wipes can cause irritation, while if you have sensitive skin the action of wiping can cause irritation.
Lastly, I will go over a few reasons why you should always remove your makeup before bed, regardless:
If makeup is left on overnight it can clog pores and cause breakouts. Sleeping in makeup can weaken your skin’s protective layer.
Using facials can brighten your skin.
Skipping a facial cleanse might make your skin appear dull.
Do you have a nightly routine? I do, I have a morning routine and a nightly routine, I call these my goddess practices. More on my routines in another blog to stay tuned.
