Cleansing wipes

Hi, does anyone use cleansing wipes all of the time and if you use them at night what do you cleanse/wash with in a morning?

I find wipes more convenient at night than cleansers.

    I remember talking to a beauty therapist about this. She reckoned that using the wipes is better than nothing, but they don't get your skin as clean as you would if you did a proper cleanse/tone/moisturise etc.

    I sometimes use them, especially if I'm away overnight and can't be bothered to take a load of stuff with me.

    In the morning I tend to use a facial wash in the shower.

    I used to use them at night, but I've stopped now as I think they are a but unnecessary and not that good for the environment (no idea if I am right btw). I use aqueous cream and a flannel, morning and night.

    I use wipes, morning and night.

    I make them last twice as long though, get one out of the pack,
    tear it into two, put half back in the pack and use both sides of the half I'm using, so 100 wipes becomes 200 wipes, very MSE
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I went back to proper cream cleanser and muslin and my skin is now great again. The wipes dry my skin and bring out the occasional rash. There is a pack of wipes by my bed for when I am just too [STRIKE]drunk[/STRIKE] tired to use the cream properly.

    I only use wipes if in a hurry, or when taking a break. I usually just use Lush's Ocean Salt, Facial Scrub in the morning, and (if I remember) a mild cleanser at night, wiped off with cotton wool, and rinsed with water.

    If I forget, just a quick wash with water does the job. I don't wear foundation, just concealer though, so apart from eye-make-up, there is little to wash off usually.
    Oh well...

    I only use it for taking off my makeup at night, but after its off I properly wash/moisturise my face.

    I use them in the mornings and for removing makeup, at nights I do proper cleanse/tone/moisturise.
