Whether you are a team cleansing balm, foaming face wash, or gel cleanser, your choice of product isn’t the only factor to consider when washing your face. You have options for how you actually wash as well. You could simply use your hands, go old-school with a washcloth, or opt for a reusable makeup towel.
The latter, in particular, have been gaining steam lately (pun intended) for their benefits and advantages such as helping to reduce waste, gentler on skin, more hygienic, and easier to pack.
What Are Reusable Makeup Towels?
Reusable makeup towels are a sustainable alternative to single-use makeup wipes or cotton pads, designed to gently remove makeup, dirt, and oil from the skin with water or a cleanser. Unlike a single-use wipe, you can use the towel in tandem with your cleanser of choice. It is similar to a washcloth but designed specifically for the purpose of removing makeup.
Another perk of reusable makeup towels is their size. A reusable makeup towel is smaller than a washcloth, but just as handy when cleansing the face and removing makeup.
How to Use Reusable Makeup Towels.
Steps To Make Use Of A Reusable Makeup Towels
- Saturate the Pad: Apply any makeup remover or tonner of your choice directly onto the pad.
- Swipe on Skin: Gently rub the pad over your skin (it’s safe to use the pads over your eyes) until all makeup is removed or you’ve saturated your skin with your toner.
- Clean Your pad: After each use, hand wash the pad with soap and water until it’s clean. You can give it a deeper clean once a week by tossing it into the laundry. Lay the pad flat to dry. It is advisable to store them in a soap dish or a small mesh laundry bag to keep them dry and hygienic.
