Love Your Skin – Ditch Baby Wipes for Good

Convenience and affordability are just two attractive aspects when it comes to buying skincare. Baby wipes are the epitome of convenience but just how effective are they for cleaning? Here, we take a look at why it’s time to ditch baby wipes for good, as well as some efficient alternatives for your skincare cabinet. Why are baby wipes so bad for your skin? While baby wipes can be used on any area of the body, they’re not highly effective when it comes to cleansing the face. Instead of removing impurities from the skin, wipes tend to smear dirt, bacteria, and impurities over your face. Furthermore, baby wipes tend to contain alcohol which dries skin out, leaving it feeling dry and sensitive. What’s a good alternative? A great alternative to baby wipes is to use a hot cloth cleanser. This is a cream formulation that is applied to the face and removed with a warm damp cloth. Hot cloth cleansing helps to remove makeup, dirt, and grime from your face. Alternatively, you could use a cleansing lotion to eliminate grime and bacteria from your complexion.  You can then follow with a toner and moisturiser.   Find Your Local SkinBase™ Therapist SkinBase™ is the leading microdermabrasion treatment.

Pre-cleansing

If you wear a lot of makeup during the day, double cleansing your face is a highly effective method for cleaning your skin. You can use an oil or oil based cleanser first and then follow with a cream based cleanser. This method will ensure all your makeup is thoroughly removed.

What should I use when travelling?

Cleansing wipes are OK to use in moderation. Opt for micellar facial cleansing wipes and keep their use for travelling or during festivals.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
