Beauty Pros Are Ditching Face Wash for These Gentle Wipes

2 min read

If you’re anything like me, weekdays are pretty nonstop. Between meetings at the office, PR events across the city, and lunchtime appointments with colleagues, I’m often in need of a midday refresh. What usually works is a quick cleansing wipe, and I’ve been on the hunt for something new.

Instead of reaching for my typical cleansers, I’m dying to try The Face Shop’s Rice Water Bright cleansing wipes. Not only are they one of the top cleansing facial wipes in Korea (per the brand), but they also come recommended by our pros at the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab. Both of those factors lead me to believe they’re well worth the swap. (Not to mention, they come in a cute, light-pink package that would look adorable on my desk.)

BUY THE FACE SHOP CLEANSING WIPES

Beauty Lab Reviews Analyst Chiara Butler loves and recommends these wipes. She says, “These facial cleansing wipes are so convenient. I keep them in my desk drawer for when I need to clean up smudged mascara or change my lip color. They are gentle and don’t leave my face oily.”

As someone with sensitive skin, I’m always on the lookout for gentle cleansers and makeup removers—so I’m extra excited to try these. Apparently, they’re formulated with rice water and rice bran oil that work together to increase skin radiance and moisture, creating non-irritating wipes that remove makeup and soften skin simultaneously.

When I think of a cleansing product of this caliber, I usually imagine a high price tag. However, one pack of these will only set you back $12 when you buy it at Target. Plus, one purchase includes 50 wipes, which means you’ll be all set for at least one month (depending on how many times per day you want to use them).

I don’t know about you, but I’m about to make some room for these on my desk.
