Do you use wipes to remove your makeup?

Rule number one of a good skincare regime is to cleanse the skin properly, removing all make-up and grime. The last thing you want is a product that could be putting more on to your skin than it is taking off.

When I was asked to pick a product for the Best Beauty Box Ever Staff Picks box, everyone looked at me with 'whatttt?' faces when I immediately said, 'Simple wipes'.  Like, what, a wipe isn't an exciting product?!

I bet somewhere in your house there's a pack of one kind of wipe or another.  What started off as a parenting staple has since taken the Beauty Aisle (and Personal Care, Cleaning and Pet Aisles) by storm.

Why decant a separate product on to a cloth or cotton pad, when you can simply wipe and go?  Well it seems every facet of the industry has asked this question - and come up with a wipe to make life easier.  But perhaps the trickiest wipe to get right is the good old facial cleansing wipe.  Clean, fresh skin, left with no trace of grime, dirt or makeup is the ultimate cleansing wipe goal.  But let me ask you - how often does a cleansing wipe  clear your skin of all makeup? With little to no effort?  Without leaving you feeling stripped bare and dry?

Almost never.  I should know - I try a lot of products, and wipes just seem destined to let you down.  Lucky for me, I've already found the perfect wipe. If there's one product I won't break the habit of using it's today's trial product.  Yes, I've been using these for over ten years!  Well...actually fifteen years.  Ok, fine.  Seventeen years.  I've been using Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Wipes* since I was 15.  You see, Simple is the UK's best selling skin care brand, it's been around since the sixites and was one of the first to produce fragrance free and colour free products.  Their selling point has always been products for sensitive skin, and so they are experts in creating gentle, yet effective products.

Anyhoo, back to the wipes.  These wipes have cleansed my skin of last night's makeup, freshened me up after heartache, travelled the world in my carry on luggage.  I have two unopened packs in my vanity and three on the go in the push chair, handbag and bathroom.  These wipes are MY wipes.

But, being Beauty Review, we're not here to tell you what the great products are - we want you to tell us.  So we're looking for reviewers to put Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Wipes to the test.

Simple Wipes promise to be the ultimate in cleansing convenience - they're perfect for freshening up after the gym or removing make-up after a late night.  The pack has an Aqua-lock seal so every wipe stays as fresh as the first, no more dry useless wipes at the bottom of the pack!  The wipe fabric consists of premium fibres, including Tencel, for a softer and more efficacious cleanse.  And of course - they're from Simple, which means these are perfect for sensitive skin.

So if you want to join me in the Simple Wipe Love-Group, get chatting to us below!  Tell us - do you regularly use facial wipes?  Do you find your usual wipes remove makeup easily?  If you don't use wipes, why not?  

 

*The Beauty Crew only comment on products they have used AND bought themselves, using their hard earned money.  Natalie's love for Simple wipes is of her own volition.

I don't have wipes on the go at the moment, even though I love them for when I need to remove make up and just cannot be bothered! In the past I've definitely been put off by brands where the last few wipes are all dry, or the worry that the ingredients/material of the wipes will make my skin react. If these Simple wipes delivered on both these fronts I'd be very happy, and they would become a staple!

I stopped using specific facial wipes mostly due to the cost- it was much cheaper for buy a pack of baby wipes (especially when I was a student!) and they seemed to work okay for me. I have been using micelles water recently (as looking after my skin has beeen this years Bew Tears resolution!) but still find myself using baby wipes to finish off the makeup removal and to do little clean ups when I'm applying my makeup. It's very likely that I'm not doing my skin any favours as I'm still getting breakouts! I'd love to take part in trialling the Simple Cleansing Wipes so I can hopefully join the Simple Wipe Love Group and boost my skincare routine with a product that's going to help improve my skin and give it a chance to be properly healthy and clear!

i definitely use wipes to remove my makeup at the end of the day. I find that it is easier to use wipes than to use makeup remover, however I find that I have to go over my face a few times to get everything. So I'd love to see if these wipes could lessen the amount of wipes that I use!

I love wipes, but I don't buy them all the time as I usually need to use two at once which becomes an expensive habit! So I prefer to buy them for when I'm travelling. I would love to find a cheaper wipe that effectively removes makeup with only one wipe. I have never tried the Simple wipes before, so I would be keen to trial them.

You've sold me! I really want to try these wipes and take them to the test after reading this article! I always use facial wipes, they make everything easier! I find it the easiest hassle and time free product to remove makeup with. I find my usual wipes to be okay at removing makeup so I wonder if these will be any better? I'd love to have the opportunity to find out!

The wipes I have tried in the past have always been too harsh for my skin. I would love to see if these don't do that. At the moment to get makeup off my face I just use my Angels on Bare Skin cleanser from Lush.

I use makeup wipes daily. It's the first step in my makeup removal process in the evenings. Great for getting majority of your makeup off before going in and cleansing. Also great for fixing makeup mistakes or late nights when you're just too damn tired to bother with your full skincare routine. Can't live without them!

22nd February, 2017

I use both! these have to be better than baby wipes?

22nd February, 2017

I have found the wipes leave my face lightly stinging. Especially around my eyes which are sensitive to all products. i would be interested to see if these were more gentle for my skin.

22nd February, 2017

Yes I use wipes most days as I find them really convient as I'm normally heading to a fitness class after work so need to remove my make up in a hurry! I've tried a few different brands but yet to find one that works really well - I always have to use a wipe and then a cotton pad with micellar water as I wear quite a bit of make up for work every day - Would be great to try these and see if I could skip having to use the micellar water as well!

I am a makeup wipe fanatic - I use them religiously, I mean who wouldn't? They're soo refreshing, easy and fast to use. They do the job so well and after a long day of work the last thing I literally want to do is take out a giant bulky bottle of micellar water, pour some onto a cotton pad and scrub at my face trying to get that stubborn waterproof mascara off. I would love love love to give Simple a try, I love natural brands especially brands that cater for SENSITIVE SKIN! YESSS! My skin is so annoyingly sensitive so products that are tailored for fussy skin types like mine are amazing! These look really lovely and perfect for my skin.

I have used wipes before but I usually only use them if I am strapped for time or if I need to travel. I find my usual wipes don't wipe makeup that well and so I much prefer to use a separate cloth with my usual facial cleanser.

20th February, 2017

Yes! I'm the worst at remembering to go wash my face or take my makeup at the end of the day if I've already settled into bed. So I keep face wipes in the drawer right beside me so I have no excuses! Now it's a proper cleansing routine in the shower and face wipes to take off the day at night. It's been a good system so far but I'm still looking for my absolute ride or die when it comes to face wipes.

20th February, 2017

I've never been a fan of wipes but am a fan of the simple brand, maybe change it up a bit and I'll see the benefit. This is the great thing about BR, I get the opportunity to try and read recommendation for products I may not necessarily buy & know what to expect if I do :)

20th February, 2017

Yes I use wipes every night. I find some are a little harsh on my skin, or don't remove all my makeup effectively. I would love to try these as they are made to be 'tough on make-up, gentle on skin'!
