Facial Cleansing Wipes

These are getting more value for money now they are coming down in price or there are quite a few offers on them.

I tend to use them all the time, does anyone else use them as their regular cleansing routine? If so, do you use them in the morning aswell as at night?

    I hardly ever use them i never feel like my skin is properly clean. DD does use them daily swears by them and never uses anything else.

    I used to use facial wipes day and night, but my skin started getting spotty and generally dull. I read somewhere that using these all the times isn't good for the skin as they don't get rid of as much dead skins cells etc as a wash. I now use a daily scrub in the morning and facial wipes at night, and i can really see the difference. I wouldn't go back to using them all the time. In saying that, i do like them at night, because if i washed my face at that time i'd be wide awake again.

    Facial wipes are expensive and full of chemicals. I have sensitive skin, prone to eczema and what I find works really well and is a lot cheaper is Tesco non-fragrance baby wipes. 80 wipes for 50p!

    I use johnsons green face wipes to take my make up off at night. Use nothing else otherwise I breakout.

    I use them at night but I wash my face in the morning, tone and then moisturise....It's why I look so young

    Get mine from Home Bargains, 2 for £1.
    Im a bit of a skin flint, I thought at one time that i was only using one side of these and then throwning them away, so i decided
    each time i need to use one, tear it in half, put half back in the pack and use both sides of the bit Im using. Works for me and
    they last twice as long.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I stopped using them after going for a facial. The lady told me they didn't cleanse as well as cream cleansers, and tended to dry the skin. Tosh, I thought, but gave it a go; she was right. My skin's never looked as good.

    I occasionally use them as a toner (the bit after cleansing but before moisturising) mostly at the gym where its not so easy to carry a toner and cotton wool with you. I find if I don't tone after cleansing I get dry white flaky patches on my t-zone no matter how well I rinse the cleanser off! (think its the hard water).

    I rarely use them as I often find a serumy type of residue on my skin which I dislike, it doesn't feel 'clean' to me. I do think they work well for eye makeup remover.

    A cheaper option (and probably very frowned upon!) are to use the toilet wipes (supermarkets own aloe vera are nice) which are normally around 80p a packet when I buy them.

    I use them at night and a facial scrub in the morning - my skin is pretty good for 50! I used to use the nivea ones (always tried to stock up on BOGOF) but then I tried the Derma ones which are about 95p in Tesco and they are just as good. I think they are brilliant for getting make up off.
