Although we are smack in the middle of spring, it feels like summer in certain parts of the Western US (especially in Los Angeles where I live!).The heat, whether humid or dry, wrecks havoc on our skin; especially our face.
For those of us that have to wear make-up daily and retouch with powder throughout the day, this will ring true: by the end of eight hours our face is not only tired, it needs a little refreshing.
Unfortunately, if you have sensitive skin, washing your face after work can sometimes cause redness or dryness. Even during the heat of the spring (or summer!).
That is why face wipes are a must-have and a major part of any skincare routine.
From a quick refresher before you jump in your car to head home, to an afternoon check-in with your skin before you start on dinner, face wipes are not a luxury. They are a necessity for todays busy woman.
But, before you run out and buy the first face wipe you come across, take a moment to read about my top three and why I recommend them for women with mature skin (like me!):

Simple
I first tried Simple face wipes when Klout gifted me with a pack last summer. And, just like the brand name implies, these facial wipes are simple: no fuss no muss. (no pun intended)
The facial wipes smell clean, while the wipe itself is large and smooth. The wipe has just enough cleaning ingredients to clean a full days worth of make-up.
Because they don't contain alcohol, oil or dyes, they don't dry-out my skin. Contact wearers will also be happy to learn that it's safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers!

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes
Do you want to do something good for the environment while wiping off your make-up? Then using the Yes to Cucumber facial towelettes will do just that.
Not only does the scent remind you of a spa (anything that smells like cucumbers does for me!), these beauties are 98% natural and biodegradable!
The ingredients help exfoliate your skin, they also remove your days worth of make-up without over-drying your skin.

Blum Naturals Daily Towelettes
These towelettes are not only baby-fine smooth to the touch, they are also infused with natural and organic ingredients to gently rehydrate your skin without leaving behind an oily feeling.
An added bonus is that these towelettes have chamomile flower extract, which helps sooth itchy, flakey and dry skin.
