Marketed as a convenient and easy way to remove your makeup, face wipes have to be one of my most hated innovations ever - alongside Microchips (not the computer variety) and leggings with see-through panels. (Don't @ me!) This multi billion pound global industry has seen a boom in the last few years, particularly as time poor women are keen to enjoy the benefits that convenient solutions can provide. With store shelves awash with all variety of wipe from every brand imaginable, you could be forgiven for thinking they're an acceptable way to remove your makeup at the end of a long day. I hate it to be the one to break it to you, but even if they promise to 'gently remove makeup' they're telling you all kinds of lies; face wipes are, in my opinion, the beauty equivalent of an Uber ride or a Deliveroo order - super quick and convenient, but really not the best option for your health.
