In these times of austerity, does anything seem more wasteful than spending ££££ on disposable face wipes? But for every face-wipe detractor out there, you’ll find someone who wouldn’t be without the convenience of their skincare-enriched, disposable towels.
As someone who tries to avoid too much water when cleansing, I’ve been known to use face wipes as part of my cleansing routine. Not to remove a full face of makeup, but to freshen my face in the mornings… I have to admit, however, that I’ve never paid more than around £6 for a pack. I’m not sure I could bring myself to pay any more than this… but would you part with the cash for any of these?

Would pay over £10 for a pack of face-wipes? Are you a fan of any that I’ve mentioned?
 the most expensive face wipes in the world…){kind=link}
I would not except maybe for a holiday to avoid brigning a bottle of micellar water. I use them either on nights when I’m super tired or lazy and sometimes in the morning, like you to freshen up.
I’m using the Murad ones now and they are amazing! I have to be honest and say no I wouldn’t pay £18 for them normally but would definitely for holidays/weekends away and that kind of thing.
No way, José! I keep a little travel-sized bottle from a GWP that I refill with micellar and I use that if I’m travelling, (along with a diddy bottle of Philosophy Purity to get off the sunscreen etc, or I become the zitmeister). I have got some L’Oreal wipes because they were on a special offer. (Not sure actually.) But I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much on face wipes. That’s a MEAL. (And yes, that means I’m low-rent, though I prefer to call it ‘more attainable’.)
Boots 3 for 2 Cucumber wipes are all that we get in this house! If I’m going to spend £18 it’s going to be a on scrub xoxo
The MAC ones are actually good, but I know that from using them instore, and I still probably wouldn’t fork out for them. I know what you mean though – crap wipes *are* crap but I try to avoid using too much water on my face as well and a lot of people don’t get that hot water dries my face out!
