After spending hours getting ready, the last thing you want to do is take your make-up off, especially if you’ve been out all night or had a hard day at work. You're busy, we get it! But, leaving make-up on overnight can cause skin breakouts or dry out your skin. No one wants that, right?
Instead of kicking yourself the next day, you just need to treat yourself to the best biodegradable make-up removing wipes. It’s the quickest and easiest way to get rid of that foundation layer.
Not sure why you should swap your regular make-up wipes for a biodegradable option? Here are four reasons why it'll change your skin-care routine forever.
1. Do your bit for the planet
Yes, one make-up wipe at time means that you can do your bit to live more sustainably. This is because non-biodegradable wipes take approx. One hundred years to decompose. Plus, flushing them down the loo is a big no-no as they can end up in the ocean.
2. You can take them with you everywhere
Using a make-up removing cloth is great, until you have an eyeliner disaster on the train, and you need to reach for a wipe pronto. Biodegradable wipes will guarantee you look amazing, even on the go.
3. Forget unwanted chemicals
Biodegradable wipes are kinder to your skin as they’ll use more natural ingredients. Make sure to always read the label or ingredients before you purchase.
4. Bigger than normal wipes
Have you gone out-out? If you’ve layered your foundation, contour or eyeshadow, you won’t have to use multiple wipes to remove it as the biodegradable wipes are bigger.
Whether you have oily, dry or combination skin, there’s a wipe out there which is suited just to you. All that’s left to do is to shop from our favourite make-up wipes.
