Turns out Cam'ron was onto something when he said, "Go get ya wet wipes." Okay, so skincare wasn't exactly what he had in mind, but he did make a valuable point: wet naps and baby wipes go a long way in cleaning up sticky messes (get your minds out the gutter, please!). Besides, they're so convenient for those who are on the stick-and-move tip (geesh, what's up with me and these double entendres today? I'm shocking my own self! lol).
Which is probably why beauty companies started selling disposable foaming pads and make-up removal towelettes several years ago — after all, this option allowed women to tuck a packet in their purse and freshen up as needed. With everyone from Olay to Neutrogena releasing their brand of facial wipes, women are now bombarded with options when they stroll by the skincare products aisle of their local drugstores. The drawback? They tend to be loaded with harsh astringents and chemicals.
Top-selling British skincare brand Simple offers a wonderful alternative for women with sensitive skin (or those who just prefer products with a botanical base). Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes contain no alcohol, oils or artificial dyes or fragrances. One packet contains 25 wipes — each one is the length of your average baby wipe (7 x 7 inches), but is a bit thicker for a heftier, towel-like feel. Not only does one wipe remove any make-up, dirt, residue and oil, but it moisturizes your skin and tones it, leaving your visage feeling vibrant and new (you'll literally feel a bit of a tingle from the freshness).
So baby girls, go get ya Simple wipes.
