I KNOW. This is neither exciting nor glam. The subject of face wipes is a purely functional one but these are worth mentioning, especially since I spotted them on sales at Shopper’s Drug Mart yesterday.
They’re lightly scented, are two-sided (one is a bit rougher, but not overly so) and they do exactly what they’re supposed to do.
I use face wipes EXTENSIVELY while we are camping. In fact, they bring a semblance of civilization to the whole “outdoor living” thing. Our campsite is usually a few minutes walk away from the comfort station, so our usual bedtime routines are tweaked. For example, we simply brush our teeth using water in a tin cup. The face wipes represent an adequate replacement for my conventional face washing regimen in a place where there is no running water. As a bonus: and one could also use them to wipe sweaty necks, feet, and armpits in a pinch. (We are roughing it, after all.)
During the rest of the year I don’t use them as much, only when I’m too tired for the whole face wash routine but still need to wipe away the sweat and dust of the day.
