Until recently, I began my nighttime skincare routine by using a wipe to remove my makeup before applying my cleansers and serums. But once I learned how wasteful the wipes actually are, I realized I needed to make a change. Approximately 1.3 billion single-use wipes are thrown away every day that s a total of 7.6 billion pounds of wipes added to the landfill per year.
So while they certainly are convenient, traditional makeup removing wipes and round cotton pads are no friend to the environment. Luckily, there s a solution that s just as convenient. You can actually make your own reusable makeup remover pads at home!
