    I only ever use face wipes - never wash my face or cleanse!

    I do moisturise every night and use EA 8 hour cream for the odd spot/blemish, but that's about it. I often get complimented on my skin and I out it solely down to drinking 2 litres plus water per day xx
  • Hi Vixi, thanks for your reply. Do you use wipes in the mornings aswell as at night? I love wipes but keep hearing that you need to use a cleanser/wash aswell or instead of but buying a face wash for the mornings is just extra cost and I like to use wipes at night because they are so much quicker. I do wear make up though, do you>

  • I haven't washed my face in years!!

    It's face wipes all the way for me, I'm just too lazy for anything else! I use the simple ones and have them with me at all times :)

    I am naughty and don't moisturise, but I don't smoke, barely drink alcohol and drinks lots of water so it balances itself out, right?!
  • I can't imagine not washing my face!

    I use a cleanser, toner and moisturizer every day. In the winter months I also use a serum because central heating makes me skin dry.

    Yep - wipes morning and night for me!

    I wear makeup every day, and tend to use baby wipes in morning and "proper" Simple/Nivea cleansing wipes in evening. I don't smoke and only have the occasional glass of wine, so I agree this helps!

    Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't wash their face - after I wrote the post I became a little worried you all might think I'm grotty!!!

    Wipes are great, fast and convenient, if you dont have sensitive skin. I do have sensitive skin and they just make it red and irritated. They are far too harsh for me. So I use a rinse off cleanser - wear makeup every day so I need a good cleanser. The one I use is very gentle and leaves my skin feeling soft and not red or irritated.

    ETA..I have two rules for skin care. #1 - dont believe that expensive products are automatically better for your skin #2- dont feel pressured to use products from one range. I mix and match.
  • I use wipes either from Aldi or Lidl (89p per pack!!!) and they are fab, can't tell the difference between them and big brands.
  • I use wipes morning and night too! I sometimes use a mixture of wipes and make-up remover/cleanser in the evening though, depending how much make-up I've got on. I never ever go to bed without moisturising either, although I sometimes skip the toner depending on how lazy I feel!
  • I use wipes morning and night, although I use an exfoliator or cleanser in the shower probably twice a week, to give more of a 'deep' clean. I moisturise every day though, but never use toner. I used to use it but to be honest it didn't seem to make any difference at all to my skin so I saved a bit of money.
    Also every couple of weeks I do a face mask. And I drink loads of water every day which definitely helps.
