Editor's Notes
February 14, 2020:
Nothing can replace good old soap and water, but cleansing wipes come in handy when you're in a pinch. Some options are made specifically for the face, and others can be used on the entire body. There are hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic choices, as well as selections made for particular skin types.
If you have sensitive skin, options like Cetaphil Cloths and Aveeno Ultra-Calming Towelettes are a safe bet. For normal skin types, Burt Bees white tea extract keeps skin looking healthy and protects it from damage. Individuals with oily or combination skin can benefit from a skincare regimen that scrubs away dead cells and tone the face like the Olay Daily Facials.
Cloths like Surviveware Biodegradable Wet Wipes and Goodwipes Swag Bag are not only large enough to cleanse the whole body, but they are also biodegradable.
If choosing between wipes with solid or peel-and-seal tops, opt for the package with the hard lid as they provide a tighter seal and keep the towelettes moist longer.
