Refreshing, Natural Way to Very Clean Skin

On nights when I truly behave myself and practice what I learned in modeling school, I begin removing my makeup with Pond's Cold Cream or a similar product. Lipids bonds together; Pond's gets rid of heavy, waterproof eye makeup, the rest of my cosmetics, and all of the imbedded oil and grime of the day. Some nights, I will follow with a cleansing towelette by Neutrogena or Burt's Bees. One of ...read moremy modeling school instructors reiterated that your pores can never be too clean, and I concur. Then I follow with cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, you name it. There are evenings when I'm tired and I settle for a facial cleansing towelette alone. I do LOVE Neutrogena's--they remove everything so easily and gently. But I also love "Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes." A pack of thirty costs around $5.99 (you can normally find them on sale). While Neutrogena NEVER lets me down, I like the fact that these are nearly one hundred percent natural. The towelette itself is a comforting fabric. Ingredients include aloe vera juice, glycerin, green tea and cucumber extracts and soybean oil, for starters. I like the towelettes which contain white tea extract. They are oh-so-gentle to eyes (perfect for those with allergies and sensitive skin) but potent all the same--I have no problem removing eye primer, shadows, liner, waterproof mascara, mascara products, and the rest of my makeup. The scent is a natural herbal one. Sometimes I get some on my lips, but I don't have that repugnant, bitter taste that some towelettes leave behind. My skin is exquisitely clean and feels refreshed, as if I had just used a toner. Only one sheet is needed for thorough use. The problem is that I feel so fresh that I am tempted to skip the cleanser, toner, serum, moisturing part of my routine. Time has taught me not to do that. Clean skin is good skin. They BEAT that into me in modeling school!

Nice Enough

Although I prefer not to use facial wipes to remove my makeup, they are nice to have on hand for extra lazy evenings. I got a free pack of these and have been liking them when I use them. These have a light smell that goes away after a few minutes which is nice. I find that they aren't as effective as the Neutrogena wipes at removing all of my makeup. However, these are gentle and I appreciate...read more the light fragrance. Some makeup wipes can sting my face, but these don't at all. These are reminiscent of the Yes to Blueberries makeup wipes, but they aren't as strong smelling and they cost less money. Still, if I were to buy a full size package of wipes, I would probably get the Neutrogena ones because they are better at removing makeup.

Very Good & Gentle To Eyes

I've recently been having issues with makeup removers and makeup remover wipes making my eyes burn. I have allergies and it may be just worse lately or my eyes are getting more sensitive. With that in mind, I have been trying more natural products to see if they are less irritating. These wipes are gold and I am thrilled to find them. The package is the standard "peel open the front flap and g...read morerap a wipe" that we've all become familiar with. The formula is very natural and gentle and did not irriate my eyes, my skin or cause me any breakouts. It takes all my eye makeup off, although lots of eye makeup, or very dark eye makeup, may require some rubbing and possibly a 2nd wipe, which I can live with. The scent is very herbal and some may not like it, as its strong but I find it relaxing. Its also not drying to the skin and is great for lazy nights since you could get away with not using a moisturizer.

A Nice Way to End the Day

I got a free pack of this from one of my friends who is (extremely) beauty-savvy, and I must say it is one of the better makeup remover wipes I've tried. First off, the scent is SO heavenly. It's floral, elegant, and light. It's a really refreshing way to start my day or a relaxing way to get my makeup off. These wipes don't leave my dry skin parched like other wipes, they are very gentle and seem...read more to put a bit of moisture back into my skin, and they don't hurt from irritation. The material is very soft. I also feel good about having less chemicals and more natural ingredients on my face. However, just because these Burt's Bees wipes are soft and gentle doesn't make them ineffective. I managed to get a full face of heavy, greasy stage makeup off with one wipe in about four minutes. Also, the price is really reasonable with the full sized packages (not so much with the small ones, little overpriced). I would definitely get these again.

Excellent

I got this recently, and have no regrets. The wipes get your face very clean without excessive dryness. They do smell very strongly of white tea, which is a very interesting herbal scent (that's why I gave it a 9, but the smell is growing on me). I haven't tried any of their other facial products, but so far I am impressed. If you have very dry skin you may want to use some moisturizer with it, bu...read moret honestly I have a tendency toward dryness and my face feels amazing afterward. This also is amazing at taking off makeup; I got all of the mascara off as well as foundation, blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow/liner with one wipe!

Perfect for my purse!

I really love these face wipes! They are pretty sturdy, and are made of a super soft material. They have a refreshing, cool feeling, and have a light, lovely smell. I really love that the smell kinda fades away over time, and I find the smell relaxing. I've found that they don't completely remove makeup,(Depending on the products I used that day- and how MUCH I used, lol) but are still darn good....read more I've also found that my skin is clearer since I switched to using these. I use them mostly for late, lazy nights, and on the go. I don't leave the house without them now, and I'm not sue what I did without them! I bought these on a whim, and I'm so very glad I did. #TrustYourGut

Gentle to eyes and face

Very gentle eye make up remover. Nice smell. This was my first time ever using face wipes. My makeup came off easy and it left no residue.

Loving it!

First off I have to say that I've switched almost all of my beauty products to more natural/organic ones, and Burt's Bees is one of the best natural beauty brands. These wipes uphold that standard of excellence. I use them on nights when I'm too lazy or tired to wash my face. They give my face a great clean feeling, and remove pretty much all of my makeup. They aren't great at removing waterproof ...read moremascara or eyeliner, but overall they do a good job. The smell is kind of strong but it's not a horrible one, and it goes away after a little while. I also have dry, sensitive skin, and these wipes are lovely for me. I highly recommend these for anyone looking for an all natural towelette!

Amazing! (and good for your skin!)

I have recently started changing my beauty products over to more natural ingredients. This was my first "organic" product and I couldn't be more pleased! My skin has never looked or felt better. The smell is strong (an acquired smell, but I enjoy it), but fades rather quickly. It is non-drying, non-irritating, and removes my makeup...even my waterproof mascara! I would recommend these wipes to anyone! Way to go Burt's Bees!
