[@hello.jila656]

I have dark coloured ones from Honour your flow and I don't need to worry about staining at all yay

[@DumbVampire]

I sewed my own by hand made out of the ankle parts of old socks and some plush material (could be an old blanket) and I made all different sizes. They definitely take off more than single use makeup wipes or cotton pads, plus it doesn't hurt as much and the micellar water/makeup remover lasts a hell of a lot longer than makeup wipes ever could

[@alexreywils]

I feel like this is a good handsewing project.

[@aurora4218]

If you have white fabrics going grey in the wash, you can use a blueing agent when you wash them or wash in warm/hot water with a blue garment. This usually counteracts some of the grey.

[@bekscorvere5639]

I have two of these and they’re wonderful!! I just run a bit of soap and hot water over them after each use and that keeps them nice and clean until I have a chance to throw them in the wash.

[@just-a-lilly-bit]

I'm using the bodyshop camomile make up removing butter and I don't use any wipes at all. I just use my hands. This works perfectly fine :)

[@TsiniWeeny]

Honestly guys, just buy flannels (UK)/small face towels and a cleansing balm/oil/milk and double cleanse. Been doing this method for years and I'm a daily heavy makeup user. Changed my skin and better for the environment! You can loads of towels in packs online and in stores and throw them in your laundry basket once used.

[@himeyui258]

Does those irritate sensitive skin due to constant rubbing?

[@Wolfsbaene]

Honestly, this is one I could see trying out for myself! And as someone mentioned down below in the comments, this could be a very fun sewing project!

[@abettersideofme9908]

I've used these for a few years myself. I found that investing in a second set has helped me. I use one set until I run out, wash them in a lingerie bag so I don't lose them in my machine, and use my second set while I'm washing the others. Coconut oil is also my favorite makeup remover for people looking for something homemade and good for sensitive skin.

[@SineadxFay]

I use the makeup remover cloths from Primark. They're €2.50 for a pack of 3, washable, and get most makeup (even waterproof!) off with just water. When I first bought them I was like nah, but then I tried them and I was amazed! So if you're not a seamstress you can definitely look into these as another option. They even remove clay masks like a dream. I recommend

[@dorothysstitches7333]

Have you considered using microfibre cloths so you can reduce using makeup remover, too, as all you’d need (for most of your makeup) would be water?

[@lucytaymusic]

I use this method alongside Jojoba oil as a makeup remover and it's brilliant! Jojoba oil can be used as a cleanser, conditioner and makeup primer too which is amazing

[@k.w.1459]

Microfiber is comprised of tiny plastic fibers that get back into the environment, and some ppl prefer not using that type of fabric

[@ANDREAT08]

@@k.w.1459 It's stil reusable. It's not plastic. Can be recycled... I just wonder if it scratches / irritates your skin if you don't use anything besides the water

[@himeyui258]

@@ANDREAT08 please educate yourself on microplastic as it is really harmful for many reasons

[@martindekker8203]

@@ANDREAT08 Is Microfiber Bad for the Environment? Short answer: yes. ... Emerging evidence shows that synthetic materials like microfiber cloths may release these tiny fibers into the water supply during washing. Scientists are finding tiny microfibers in our oceans and lakes and trace these back to our home washing machines

[@k.w.1459]

I use mine to apply witch hazel and such not just remove makeup. I bought some on Etsy and love them bc they’re all cotton. I keep them in a reused glass candle jar with metal top and wash them in a lingerie bag. I’m actually making some from a repurposed cotton tshirt now. I also just bought a reusable cotton swab set for $5 us $ (if you buy make sure you get ones that don’t have the silicone bud separate from the stick)

[@_C____]

I love these! Is there any difference between waterproof and regular makeup when it comes to washing them? I use a lot of waterproof and dont want them to remain stained!

[@Vixinaful]

When they go grey you can bleach/clean them in chlorine!

[@nazofalltrades]

Hi Klaire! I got a makeup eraser sample a while ago, and im still using it haha. I don’t think I need to buy a full sized one yet, even after months of use :)

[@Ssnicklefritz00]

I use reusable cloths I received as a gift and I love using them to take off my makeup in the shower. Then I don't have any residue on my face and mostly just use water to remove makeup, not a product

[@Lisa-yj2hd]

Love this video, I made the switch the cloth makeup pads late last year and haven't looked back. Love them x

[@nobadyowns5826]

Hallo Klaire, Do you know if these pads can be used for removing nailpolisch as well? it's the only thing I still use Cotton pads for and a guilty pleasur. I am a bit worried that the nailpolisch will not come off in the wasching Maschine. Stay save

[@Franzili007]

I tried it, didn't remove the nail polish as well, took a lot longer. The nail polish didn't wash out in the washing mashine, I'll have to try to clean them with nail polish remover... But since that uses up a lot of the remover, I don't know if it's quite more ecological? For removing gel polish I need cotton pads, so I still use them for that and for everything else, reusable ones. I'm my opinion you don't have to do everything 100%, 90% is okay too :D

[@alexfielding-smith153]

Question what’s the diameter for the wipes that your sister made? I’m curious to experiment and see different sizes in my hand

[@katerinasiren]

I prefer getting rid of makeup with oil so I'm not sure if this is a good choise for that. Any opinions?

[@KlairedeLysOfficial]

I've used this with an oil remover too, no issues at all. Just throw then in the wash with a good detergent.

[@craquinette685]

Remove your makeup the way you prefer, these pads just save you from buying disposable ones, which is great for your money and for the planet 😊

[@katerinasiren]

I've been using like a face sponge but been thinking of switching to something else

[@redladybug9180]

I’ve just ordered boof reuseable pads to remove my eye makeup instead of using face wipes x

[@kookiiee7938]

can you use them to remove face masks as well and can you use them for normal skincare?

[@CleoStudios]

These are great! I have a few large makeup remover towels as I don’t wear makeup a lot. But if I did i def would get thee little ones. Love reusable things

[@ashadeevon]

Can I use these pads for skincare as well? Applying toner for example

[@TessaLCastro1216]

Your makeup looks beautiful in this video

[@SomebodyCaresXD]

Love how you did your makeup for this video!

[@HisNeverland]

What's a vanish bar?

[@theresaANDnicholas]

Wondering this as well

[@Lisa-ym1si]

Was just about to buy a bunch of bamboo pads thank you for saving me there.

[@jamievandermeer5204]

These look so nice! I’m wondering if the washing detergent could have a (negative) effect on the skin on your face? I know my mom doesn’t use natural detergent even though I would prefer that, so I’m not sure if the reusable cotton pads are a good choice this way

[@SuperSonicSkyline]

you could always hand wash them with something that doesnt irritate your skin maybe?

[@kuparisiipi5173]

Would re-usables be a good choice for heavy make-up? I don't really care for the aesthetics so stains are whatever, but could it effect on how it can house bacteria, after heavy foundation for example?

[@KlairedeLysOfficial]

Yes, on my old channel (klairedelysArt) I used these to remove my makeup, and some of those looks used SO much makeup. I never had any issues getting the oil out after. If you're worried about that you could also boil them after, but sun bleaching will also disinfect them after a few hours.

[@kuparisiipi5173]

@@KlairedeLysOfficial Great! Then I'm definitely going to make a switch soon!

[@ScrapySweet]

Do you think I could soak them in warm coconut oil? I always use waterproof make up and I'm used to removing it with oil but it's really harsh on the skin to take it all off with a dry towel or something like that.

[@fabra1122]

Of course you can

[@Warumnicht23]

I actually use these myself and i noticed that I don’t even need makeup remover! I just wet them with warm water and the result is the same!!!

[@jesseewikk3665]

I actually bought microfibre dish cloths and I just have to use water to remove my makeup, occasionally I use micellar water for anything stubborn. They can replace makeup wipes for travel then too

The golden apple was a candle from Tesco and the feather pot was from Matalan.

[@blondiexx137]

Thanks for the video, Klaire!

[@LoLiPop28255]

Do you also use the reusable pads for removing nail polish?

[@xchibimew]

You shouldn't do that, because 1) it won't come off completely while washing and 2) the bits that come off will get into the water (obviously) and are very toxic to any water-life. I use leftover fabric pieces I would throw away anyway or the fluff from the dryer :D (as funny as it sounds, its more or less just "cotton" and its clean, so why not)

[@LoLiPop28255]

@@xchibimew thanks for your advice, I do appreciate it! This is the only occasion where I'm still using regular cotton pads but now, I can try your tips 😊

[@topaz4312]

How do you sun bleach

[@rd6203]

Just hang it out in full sun for a few hours, it needs a vacation anyway 🌞 🏖

[@mayageorge1847]

You should always wash your face with cleanser first and then finish removing excess makeup with the pads after. You get a way cleaner face and less junk on your pads as well as using way less product. Love reusables. Great ideas.

for someone who does her makeup twice a day these seem like a waste of time and money :) i would rather wash my makeup away :D
