Please read the following post for important information on how I’ve chosen my recommendations:
TLDR: Face wipes and makeup wipes are convenient but they’re bad for your skin and the environment
Why you should care: Experts say they’re not actually good for your face or skin health. Plus, they contain plastic and take a century to decompose in the landfill, leaving behind microplastics. https://www.proquest.com/openview/9d58febe5e1c637f87f152d2aaa0dbf8/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=5038271
What you should buy: https://www.costco.com/turkish-towel—gentle-planet-12-piece-washcloth-set.product.100686737.html and https://www.aromatics.com/products/witch-hazel-hydrosol
I asked a friend to buy these washcloths for me from Costco (I don’t have a membership) because they were on sale and they’re Oeko-Tex certified. I keep a pile of them in the bathroom. I got an aluminum spray bottle and filled it with a few drops of witch hazel and lots of distilled (or boiled) water. I use that to clean my face. Lots of people avoid witch hazel because it dries out the skin, BUT that’s only the witch hazel you get at the store, which is full of alcohol. The ALCOHOL is what dries your skin. Pure witch hazel doesn’t.
Note: Store the remaining witch hazel in the fridge.
