New legislation banning the sale of some kinds of face wipes is being proposed in England. They can be a convenient way to remove make-up when sleepiness gets the better of you. But under new plans proposed by environment minister Thérèse Coffey, you may not be able to get your hands on your go-to face wipes from as early as next year. There are several ways to move away from face wipes without losing the convenience they offer. Here are some suggestions:

Micellar Water

Micellar water is a type of cleanser that has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially as a makeup remover. It’s made up of tiny oil molecules called micelles that are suspended in water. These micelles attract and lift away dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin without the need for harsh scrubbing or rubbing. One of the benefits of micellar water is that it’s gentle and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It doesn’t contain harsh chemicals or detergents that can strip the skin of its natural oils and cause irritation.

Muslin Cloths

Muslin cloths are often used to cleanse the face because they offer a gentle and effective way to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin. Muslin is a lightweight and breathable fabric that is typically made from cotton, and it has a gentle texture that can help to exfoliate and smooth the skin. Using a muslin cloth to cleanse your face can help to remove dead skin cells, improve circulation, and stimulate cell renewal, leaving your skin looking brighter and more radiant. Additionally, the gentle friction created by the muslin cloth can help to loosen and remove impurities from the skin, which can be particularly beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin.

Cleansing Balms

Cleansing balms are a type of facial cleanser that typically have a thicker, more emollient texture than traditional liquid or foaming cleansers. They are designed to dissolve and remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin, while also providing a nourishing and hydrating effect. When applied to the skin, they melt and transform into a silky, smooth texture that can be massaged into the skin to help dissolve impurities and gently exfoliate dead skin cells. One of the benefits of cleansing balms is that they are usually gentle and effective for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin. 

Cleansing Oils

Unlike traditional foaming cleansers that can strip the skin of its natural oils, cleansing oils help to maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier, leaving it feeling soft and supple. The oil in the cleanser binds to the oils on your skin and any makeup or impurities, allowing them to be easily washed away with water. Many cleansing oils also contain emulsifiers, which allow them to be rinsed off with water, leaving no oily residue. They can also be particularly beneficial for those with dry or sensitive skin, as they provide a gentle and hydrating cleanse without stripping the skin.

Reusable Makeup Remover Pads 

Reusable makeup remover pads are eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives to disposable makeup remover wipes, and are usually much better for your skin, too. They are typically made of soft, absorbent fabrics such as cotton, bamboo, or microfibre, which can effectively remove makeup without causing irritation to the skin. These pads can be used multiple times and are easy to clean. Simply rinse them with water and mild soap, or toss them in the washing machine with your regular laundry. This makes them not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective and convenient in the long run.

‘Wash your face with soap water’ was often the mantra for our grandmothers, but today there are better, gentler ways to take the dirt of the day off your skin, so we’re going to look at some of the excellent products on the site that we think past generations would’ve approved of.

The Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Cleanser is a light creamy product that cleans the skin as well as nourishing it. Perfect for dry faces it takes away dirt and make-up and thanks to lush coconut and murumuru seed butter skin gets stronger and is soothed as well as being refreshed thanks to palmarosa and jasmine.

If you are looking for something with a little oomph, look no further than the Elemis BIOTEC Skin Energising Cleanser. This offers optimum performance, because it is packed with a trio of acids mixed with an energising electrolyte solution and the results are explosive. The unique deep cleansing action reduces surface oils and impurities to rebalance your complexion leaving it fresh and revived.

The Decleor Bi-phase Caring Cleanser and Make-Up Remover is powered by a scientific blend of virgin botanical oils and floral water, and we love it. This revolutionary formula pampers the skin as it removes make-up (even stubborn, waterproof lip liners) and leaves it feeling soft, plump, soothed, and radiant.

For ultra clean, healthy skin we suggest the Dermalogica PreCleanse which is a fav of the pro’s. This plant-based cleansing oil breaks through the excess sebum, sunscreen, waterproof make-up, and residual products that build up during the day and make our skin look dull. Rice bran and vitamin E oils have been added to create a gentle blend that can be used around the eye area so that panda eyes in the morning will be a thing of the past.

Jan Marini Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser is totally soap free and leaves skin soft, smooth and more refined. It is non irritating, easily rinses away and because it comes with natural sorbitol from berries it leaves your skin soft and hydrated. This cleanser has added glycolic acid and the deep cleansing action makes it perfect for acne-prone skin, but don’t use this if you are pregnant or trying to conceive.

Balms aren’t just for your lips! The Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm dissolves the make-up, grime and pollution that can layer up and make us look tired. All skin types can benefit from the rose, elderberry and starflower extracts that have been mixed with delicate oils because together, they supercharge your complexion and leave it glowing.

If you have any questions about the best soap free products for you, let us know and we would love to help.

We know you already cleanse, tone and moisturise morning and night (you do, don’t you?), but you can also add a balm into the mix if you really want to keep your skin soft and supple.

Face and body balms give your skin extra love so why not treat yourself to one of these luxury formulas and see if it works for you.

The Decleor Magnolia Youthful Night Balm is great if you want plumper, firmer skin which has a fresh, luminous glow when you wake in the morning. This slumber specific balm is made from a blend of 100% natural ingredients including Shea Butter, Magnolia Essential Oil and Rose, all of which your skin will love.

At Pure Beauty we are massive fans of the Dermalogica Precleanse Balm. This is a really special deep-cleansing balm-to-oil cleanser that melts into the skin, and as it does, it gently removes excess oil, sunscreen and make-up. Apricot Oil, which is rich in fatty acids, has been mixed with essential oils which come together and not only ensure skin is salon smooth, but also refreshes the senses and clears the mind.

It’s the powerful vitamin complex in the Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm, that protects against moisture loss, something we all need from time to time. Purple Orchid, Noni and Acai have been added into the mix and whether you use this as a moisturiser, radiance booster, or primer, we think you will like what you see.

If your body is feeling dry and tight when you come out of the shower, we would suggest letting the Decleor Nourishing Body Balm loose on your limbs. Thanks to Frankincense Essential Oil, Shea Butter, Tamanu and Macadamia Oils, this gorgeous body balm helps soothe dry feeling skin and make it come alive again. Apply once or twice a day by warming the balm in the palm of your hands and your skin will feel nourished in no time.

Whatever skin type you have, we think it will adore the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm as much as we do. This gentle but powerful cleansing balm dissolves make-up, dirt and pollutants as your skin is being intensely cleansed, nourished and renewed. When you pat your face dry, all you are left with is a healthy skin and a big smile.

Harmony, tranquillity and relaxation don’t always come easily in modern-day life, but they can if you use the Elemis Quiet Mind Temple Balm. Packed with a powerful blend of essential oils, just a few drops, massaged into the temples can take you from stressed out, to chilled out, in minutes. Patchouli, Lemon, Eucalyptus and Organic Indian Menthol come together to enhance feelings of positivity, and we think you will be hooked from the word go.

You might not think a balm would work for your eyes, but we are here to tell you that it really can. The popular Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Eye Balm brightens and refreshes tired eyes. A cooling applicator means that skin soothing Chamomile and Arnica as well as Bird of Paradise Flower and omega-rich Apricot Kernel Oil nourishes the delicate eye contour area and optical blurring powders help reduce the dark circles that can take your confidence away.
