After a long night out, you might reach for disposable makeup wipes, but we advise against it. These harsh wipes will take a toll on your skin and will have harmful side effects.
Makeup wipes don’t fully clean the skin and, as dermatologist Dr. Marie Hayang told The Everygirl, "contain a high concentration of surfactants" and can be "irritating and drying."
Additionally, since makeup wipes are often made from non-biodegradable materials, they are harmful to the environment and contribute to pollution and landfill waste.
Instead, switch to a cloth, rag, or reusable cotton pad to remove makeup using a liquid makeup remover or cleanser. Your skin and environment will thank you for this change.
