Makeup Remover

What’s so bad about makeup cleansing wipes? Why shouldn’t I use them if they’re so convenient?

February 4, 2020 Paris B 8 Comments

“I use cleansing wipes to remove my makeup”

Tell this to most skincare enthusiasts, and what you’d be greeted with is an exaggerated gasp of breath, and wide-eyed horror.

“No, you don’t!” They’d exclaim in disbelief.

are cleansing wipes bad for skin

What started out as a convenient skincare product is now one of the most villified beauty products in the market. Every beauty and skincare guru worth their salt is condemning it, left, right and center. Every YouTube personality who is caught using one, is shunned and talked about in hushed tones of disgust.

But why and how did this happen? Why are makeup cleansing wipes so bad for our skin, and are they? Should we not use them at all?

When I travel I make sure that these Biore Makeup Remover Wipes go with me!

October 10, 2019 Paris B 22 Comments

Let me say first, that I’m not personally a fan of using cleansing wipes as a facial cleanser. I know they exist, and I know it is popular, because it is convenient. But I avoid it because it firstly, isn’t a proper cleanse, and secondly, it doesn’t biodegrade, so it plays merry hell with the environment.

But sometimes, needs must, as they say. Sometimes, it’s a necessary evil.

About 2 months ago, I went on a short holiday and flew a budget airline. To avoid unnecessary additional costs, we opted for just carry on luggage, so I had to strip my packing down to the bare minimum.

Being the skincare buff that I am, my skincare pouch usually takes up the most space and weight in my luggage, so I had to pare it down. Instead of bringing along liquids, I thought I’d try something different. I went and hunted in the pharmacy for handy products I could use in place of a makeup remover, and I stumbled on the Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Makeup Remover Wipes.

I double cleanse daily, so I had to see if the Pixi + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse holds up to scrutiny

October 3, 2019 Paris B 7 Comments

It’s no secret that I am quite a fan of most Pixi Beauty skincare products. They are generally fairly affordable, and effective. That’s pretty much what we seek in most skincare don’t we?

pixi caroline hirons double cleanse

And there is one specific Pixi product I get asked about a lot – the Pixi Double Cleanse, created with the popular skincare guru Caroline Hirons. There has been much I’ve learned from Ms. Hirons (and some that I disagree with) but if there’s one thing I can agree on, it’s the importance of a double cleanse.

I’d talked about double cleansing way back when I started this blog in 2007. It was a cleansing concept I’d picked up from using Japanese skincare, and it’s stuck with me since. People used to roll their eyes at me back in the day, because it seems like so much work; but now, it’s become an established norm, and touted by big names in skincare. So I’m now feeling somewhat vindicated for being a pioneer in this area 😛

The Pixi Double Cleanse gets a lot of raves, so naturally, I had to see what the hype was about.

Revisiting the Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil after 10 years!

September 13, 2019 Paris B 7 Comments

One of the first skincare items I’d ever tried from Bobbi Brown back in my early days of blogging, was a sample of their Cleansing Oil. I remember back then (10 years ago!), that I was quite happy with it.

It was a time when I was using cleansing oils, so I was quite familiar with comparing and contrasting the different cleansing oils in the market then.

When I recently received a bottle of the Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil, I was a little surprised. Why were they sending me this again, when it’s one of the Bobbi Brown skincare stalwarts? Was it a reminder?

Ah, as it turned out, the formula has been tweaked and upgraded. I don’t generally use cleansing oils anymore, preferring cleansing balms instead, but I was curious enough to have another go.
