I have always had a fairly good skincare regime; it was on some advice of my Grandma when I was quite young who said I should always take care of my skin. For years I stuck to using Johnson’s Baby Lotion, a smell I adore and a product that isn't overly expensive. I have always cleansed and exfoliated but never quite found the best Toner and the former two never quite the product that I could swear I would always use and never buy anything else, I have over the years chopped and changed.
When I was asked if I would like to try something from the Simple Skincare range I jumped at the chance. I had never used anything from this brand before but had heard a few friends mention how good it was and such great value. A week or so later a package duly arrived and inside I was greeted with three products:
- Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes
- Simple Kind to Skin revitalizing eye roll-on
- Simply Kind to Skin Replenishing 12 hour moisture Cream
I am going to start with the Cleansing Facial Wipes and review the other two separately.
Over the years I have had a love hate relationship with facial wipes, they have either left my skin feeling too dry or they haven’t removed all the make-up they have claimed they will but as a product they could be so convenient and less time-consuming than the task needed to be. So for the last few years I haven’t bothered using them, instead I have used other products in their place and been satisfied. Simple say “Our Cleansing Facial Wipes refresh and nourish your skin plus remove waterproof mascara. Our wipes contain a perfect blend of our purest possible skin loving ingredients with an added vitamin” and then it is good to note that these wipes is that they claim to have:
- 1 ADDED VITAMIN - PRO-VITAMIN B5 known to help restore, soften and smooth
- NO ALCOHOL, NO OIL
- NON DRYING and NO GREASY residue
- NO DYES
- NO ARTIFICIAL PERFUMES
- NO HARSH IRRITANTS to upset skin
Excellent news and as you remove them from the packet really easily, is how soft the wipe actually is, it isn't wringing wet through either which I have found with similar products and this I liked from the start. There is no chemical aroma smell which again gets the thumbs up from me and as you use them on your face, they are so soft you could almost be using a piece of Muslin cloth to clean your face. The first time I used these wipes, I have to admit I was a little bit shocked. Its like the first time you get a Dyson Hoover and clean your carpet only to suddenly feel like a total tramp because of all the dirt and dust it picks up, despite the fact you hoover three times a day. Imagine what came off my face onto this wipe the first time I used one, it was seriously gross and I almost considered not using the wipes again incase it was some kind of trick, but my skin felt so soft and smooth after using them and my face felt clean. These wipes are designed to gently cleanse your face and I was impressed to find that they are really effective at removing all traces of make-up and even my mascara which is BeneFit ‘They’re Real’ which can be a nightmare to remove, was gone. Add to that how soothing they are to your skin when applied, delightful.
These wipes also no not irritate my eyes or make them itchy, they don’t cause any reactions with my skin and as I sometimes wear contact lenses, I was impressed to find that these wipes are suitable for those of us who wear them. So these wipes are kind enough to be used on sensitive skin because they are hypoallergenic and powerful enough to remove my BeneFit mascara, what more could you want? Well, these wipes do completely remove dirt, make-up, and oils which for me is quite important as I can, during a certain time of the month, suffer with a shiny face and I always look for products which can control it, no need to anymore, these wipes are brilliant at removing excess oil from my skin without stripping it of moisture.
These wipes come with 25 wipes within the packet and cost £3 in my local Tesco from where I have bought another packet because I am so impressed with them. I love these wipes because they leave my skin feeling smooth and hyrdated rather than dry and irritated and the best feeling of all is having fresh, clean skin.
