Can you really say this hasn’t happened to you? You come back home from a party and your completely exhausted. The only thing you want to do is drink a glass of water and jump into bed. You cringe at the thought of washing off your makeup and its the absolute last thing you want to do. So you don’t.

Or maybe you’re at a friend’s house (what kind of friend they are is your business) and you can’t wash your face because you don’t have your facial cleansing products with you. Plus you’re too tired to walk to the bathroom and use your friends stuff. So you don’t.

The next best thing you can do to remove your makeup is keep makeup removing towelettes in your purse. If you’re constantly on the go its best to keep it in your makeup bag. Using towelettes is a super convenient way to take your makeup off can help keep your pores from getting clogged, keep your lashes from breaking off due to sleeping with mascara, and ultimately keep you from looking like Amy Winehouse in the in the morning.

There are some other great uses for makeup removing towelettes. You can use them to clean any eye makeup mistakes, also as a stain remover to release makeup from your clothes. Another great use is to remove excess sweat and oil from your face after a workout even if your not wearing makeup. They’re really multi-purpose!
