Did you run out of endless tossing of makeup wipes after a quick cleanse? Hold it, our planet is tired! Most commonly made of polyester, polypropylene, cotton, wood pulp, or rayon, almost always formed into sheets, the vast majority are in some form of plastic; individually wrapped, small to bulk packs.
All are moistened with water and additional ingredients such as cleansers and moisturizers—are designed to be effective but not that sustainable. All of this adds to the problem of plastic waste. So, how about a gentle, plastic-pollution-free solution?
How to Choose Makeup Wipes for Sensitive Skin
Look for a makeup remover wipe that is delicate on sensitive skin and free from harsh chemicals and fragrance. Sensitive skin is prone to allowances, except for the ingredients; it is easily irritated when coming into contact with some of the ingredients, some causing irritation and redness.
Using wipes with amazing ingredients that help soothe the skin—such as aloe vera, chamomile, or cucumber extract—does magic on the skin and the spilling part. These natural elements help to give a soothing effect while being effective in makeup removal. Look for a brand that is dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic to ensure sensitive skin is well taken care of.

Best Makeup Wipes for Dry Skin
Dry skin will want to use makeup wipes that moisturize and nourish along with removing makeup. Look for these wipes to contain moisturizers like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or coconut water.
They help to keep moisture in and prevent the skin from feeling tight or dry post-cleanse. Also, opt for creamy or milky formulations, as they tend to be of a much gentler and moisturizing nature. Wipes for dry skin should not contain alcohol among the ingredients since it will just dry you out more.

Makeup Wipes for Combination Skin
Combination skin requires a balanced treatment because parts of your face are oily while other parts are dry. Use makeup remover wipes that are going to clean your face gently without removing too much from your natural oil layer. If your skin is a combination type, you can look for the ingredients that help balance the skin in makeup wipes.
Ingredients such as green tea extract or vitamin E can balance the skin and treat it in a way that it will be able to look like it has reached an equilibrium between dry and oily balancing. Look for the gentlest formulations in wipes to ensure it doesn't aggravate either dryness or oiliness.
Special Wipes for Acne-Prone Skin
When it comes to acne-prone skin, makeup wipes should be selected with ingredients that can treat acne. Look for wipes containing salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients fight acne by unclogging the pores and stopping bacterial growth. To be able to not irritate your skin, ensure gentle wipes and avoid heavy fragrances and alcohol since they can be irritating to the acne condition.
