[@Bibagodiva55]

@Prisvilla: okay....this was this what I meant with "Emergency Fails" 😂😂😂😄✌🏽👏.

[@onedudethelegend]

Risky because they don’t fully remove makeup which can cause breakouts in the morning..

[@onedudethelegend]

@Avaphoriaa no way 😲 woah omg

[@frinekristia]

Yesss always put make up wipes on the side of your bed, or when you’re traveling far

[@_imnyotastarr]

I’ve slept with a full face on but no breakouts 😊 thank goodness. I just break out during my period mostly. But the more skin care products i use the more i breakout. It’s perplexing 😂 if i used the wipe i would have definitely broken out.

[@banyani4048]

personally I use makeup wipes to get the majority off and then cleanse with something properly. I hate going in with a cleanser into much makeup, it feels slimy 😭

[@beeboop2175]

I do the same. Its just so much easier to get most of it off with wipes

[@LaFlor718]

I do the same and feel like that was the take away for me from this short. I get the majority off with wipes then double cleanse because if I don’t my mascara gets stuck to my lashes for days lol.

[@banyani4048]

@@LaFlor718 yess! I try to gently rub and wipe away my mascara (waterproof mascara is no joke) and any lip products, then just cleanse normally. don't use much makeup on general, but I just don't believe that the cleanser I have (which focuses more on cleansing skin rather than makeup removal) will properly remove any waterproof stuff. Though gotta say that usually I cut up my makeup wipes into smaller pieces beforehand because using an entire wipe for some mascara sometimes feels unjustified lol

[@kittyscreativecorner]

I do the same, except I use ponds makeup remover cream. It’s not a single use product, and it makes your skin feel really soft after whereas makeup wipes always irritate my skin

[@banyani4048]

@@kittyscreativecorner this is the way 🙏 I just haven't found a really good makeup remover that I like yet and can't afford testing mysf through different makeup removers... one day I'll find one that I like 🗿

[@nansynano]

Thank you so much for posting videos like this… I went from my cheeks being full of small acne to almost no breakouts. I honestly thought I was cleansing my makeup off by just using a face wipe. I did so many different treatments like micro needling and nobody at any of the clinics told me that I was doing something wrong, until one day I saw your videos on KZbin. You really saved my face. ❤ thank you!

[@passionadams640]

🥲 drop a few tips please?

[@Persephoneslight]

​@@passionadams640How I cleared some of my blemishes etc. and stopped having breakouts (most of the time) is I drink a lot of water and I have 1-2 green tea each day... also I only use tinted sunscreen and concealer BUT I still use cleansing balm instead of make up wipe. Sunscreen and moisturizer are also very important! As well as cleansing every night and morning

[@nansynano]

@@passionadams640 I started using the tea tree Dr. Bronner’s - Pure-Castile Liquid Soap that Casandra used in one of her videos. I use the ordinary niacinimide & zinc and the ordinary moisturizer. Some nights I’ll throw in the ordinary argireline solution. I also exfoliate with dermologica oat daily exfoliating (but I only do this once a week or so) This has worked for me! After seeing Casandras videos, I also visited a dermatologist and she took a look at my face and told me specifically that I didn’t have cystic acne, and that I just wasn’t cleansing my makeup off properly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@chillarypuff]

Same here!! I dont even keep makeup wipes in my house anymore so I can't be tempted to use them

[@chillarypuff]

@passionadams640 wash your face every night (sometimes 2x if your skin needs it), use differin to spot treat, have a fragrance free Moisturizer at night, then sunscreen during the day. Consistency and sunscreen are the most important - washing your face every day can seem like a hassle but I promise it helps! Also double cleansing when wearing makeup

[@JordanStar7]

Makeup wipes irritate the s**t out of my skin so either way I’m using cleanser even if it’s inconvenient! This was super interesting

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Many makeup wipes are heavily fragranced and/or have alcohol. That may be why they irritate your skin. "Turn and learn!"

[@crystaldawn2708]

Most of them are jam packed full of alcohol so that you don't feel the need to dry your face after 😩 moisture barrier be damned I guess

[@20thcenturyrelic]

@@crystaldawn2708 Exactly! There are some without alcohol, witch hazel, or fragrance, but they're few and far between.

[@truffles2021]

I was about to say makeup wipes HURT. I use a cotton round with micellar water and then I cleanse!!

[@sweethoneycomb392]

same my skin is so sensitive to products

[@tinasung3814]

Well I feel like it would be more fair to use the wipe as the first cleanse followed by a gel cleanser. Otherwise, you should just compare the wipe against the gel cleanser (exclude the oil cleanse). Because if you clean twice with any product, will pretty much be superior to clean once with the same product.

[@hanamarcetic5923]

I was thinking that she should at least use two wipes, I never use just one if i have THAT much make up. It's not a fair comparison, two steps full of products to cleanse one side vs only one wipe? 🤨

[@jahbern]

I get what you’re saying, but the whole point of makeup wipes is that they are convenient BECAUSE they are supposed to be a one step/one product/one wipe alternative to proper cleansing off makeup, which would involve double cleansing or removing makeup separately before cleansing. If you have to use two wipes or if you have to simplify a proper cleansing technique to make them comparable, then you are making the exact point against wipes. You know? If the claim is one wipe = proper cleansing, then you have to use one wipe vs proper cleansing. To be sure, people who know one wipe doesn’t work use more than one wipe - and you also wouldn’t claim that just a single cleanse without removing makeup would be as effective as cleansing properly, right? So this isn’t really a video aimed at you. You know that wipes aren’t miraculous.

[@tinasung3814]

@@jahbern You can turn the 1 wipe over and wipe again on the other side (which is what most people would do if the first pass still left makeup on the face). That would still follow your rule with just using 1 wipe. That might make the most sense then both method will get 2 passes on cleaning the surface.

[@Roachytheking]

I get what you’re saying, but I feel like she was using both products until makeup was no longer visible, rather than doing the same amount of both product

[@peachii3124]

actually, the comparison would yield similar results, from my understanding. the first step (oil-based) in the double-cleanse method is what actually gets the makeup and spf off, by breaking them down. the second step (water-based) is moreso for ridding of dirt and extra oils (from both the cleanser and your skin.)

[@emilyshultz5903]

I just use a makeup wipe then wash my face with my regular cleanser

[@CassandraBankson]

Hi Emily, if it works for you, keep using them then, most of us get red and irritated skin but if you don't, keep on with your routine. Have a great weekend.

[@arandootsarandano]

It’s still creating waste and makeup wipes are not a necessity so you can choose whether or not you want to contribute to unnecessary pollution (not hate)

[@DirtyMistress]

@@arandootsarandano as long as americans don't bag their own groceries and go out with a gazillion plastic bags each time, the 2 make up wipes I use per week are not the problem.

[@bk_11667]

When I remove my makeup, I usually use makeup wipes or micellar water to remove everything I can, and then I cleanse my face once. It works really well for my skin.

[@ezodragon]

i used to do it this way but the rubbing really damaged my skin barrier and dried my skin a lot. it caused breakouts which only slowly healed as i moisturised more and used way gentler products. id be careful, but some people's skin can take a lot before it shows..

[@erykah8720]

same i usually wipe off my face and then take of mascara and eye makeup w micellar water and then i wash my face and since i don’t wear make-up often it doesn’t irritate my skin luckily (bc i used to have rlly bad acne)

[@Kiterpuss]

I would LOVE to see this kind of test with those cloths that are supposed to remove makeup with no cleanser. I just do not believe that the fabric of those cloths is so magical that it can remove everything with just water.

[@CassandraBankson]

Hi Kiterpuss, thank you for taking the time to comment. Great idea and I will put on my list and I will reach oiut again when I do post it so you can give me your opinion. have a great weekend.

[@snape28]

I actually use those as my first step. Then I cleanse with a foaming cleanser. They work pretty well

[@Danica.Powell]

ohhhhh GOOD IDEA!!! I have them but I actually use them with a cleanser because I don't trust them otherwise.

[@20thcenturyrelic]

@@snape28 This makes sense to me. I have dry skin, and don't use primer or contour or full coverage foundation, so usually I just put some makeup remover on a reusable cotton pad and apply it to my eye makeup. Then I use a rinse-off cleanser, once. Then I put some toner on a pad and go over my face. There may be some eye shadow left, but that's it. But...for those who wear more or heavier makeup, or have oily skin, I can see that a double cleanse may be necessary.

[@20thcenturyrelic]

@@Danica.Powell Makes sense to me as a first step, kind of like using makeup remover and then a rinse off cleanser.

[@LadyASolveg]

I think the makeup wipes worked exactly how you expect makeup wipes to work. I'll be shocked if anyone expected that makeup wipes was the end of the cleansing routine

[@BayouTottedHue]

Next time do a double cleanse with the make up wipe as the first cleanse followed by a normal cleanser.

[@truelyyourz]

I use a wipe then oil cleanse then I use face wash

[@jennarenteria]

yeah! it doesn’t really make sense that they didn’t double cleanse with both sides. kind of unfair because the wipe was already full of makeup for it to be able take everything off.

[@localdreamer13]

I always use micellar water because I have to be REALLY really careful when it comes to makeup wipes. My skin is very sensitive, and I'm also severely allergic to anything perfumed. I used to try makeup wipe after makeup wipe hoping one would work and not cause me to swell up before I gave up and opted for micellar water instead. That followed by a scrub cleanser has been my go-to for years, and it may not work for everyone's skin type, but it's the only thing I can trust to not make my eyes swell shut or have terrible eczema patches appear on my cheeks or eyelids

[@whatsupimlouie4670]

Keep in mind when someone is selling a product, there are unconscious and conscious biases towards a product. Makeup wipes were never meant to be an alternative to washing your face.. they’re supposed to remove the initial layer of product to expedite your removal process.

[@kayleighmcgaw]

Actually I'm pretty sure most of them were created with the idea and even claim to be a replacement or alternative to proper cleansing, even moisturizing. 🤔🤔

[@Call-me-Al]

Makeup wipes is what I use when I want to wash my face but can't yet. Like, a way to feel more refreshed than what pure water and a mini towel alone could achieve.

[@purdledragon]

Yes! I was beginning to wonder if I was the one weirdo out here who used wipes to get rip of the makeup before actually washing my face rather than instead of washing. 🙄 We didn't need the lamp to see she left behind some makeup with the wipe & still needed to wash her face, I'm not sure why she was surprised.

[@everett.d.r]

so are double cleansing systems tho? you go in with a micellar water or cleansing balm to get rid of the makeup and then wash your skin to get rid of buildup/actually clean your skin. issue w/ wipes is that they don’t remove as much makeup, majority are non biodegradable so they create a lot of waste, and majority have alcohol in them so they overly dry out your skin

[@jasminechukwu1370]

Thank you 🙄

[@jennybitez4742]

I like makeup wipes to get majority of what is on the skin. But it’s never the last step. I always do face wash and toner

[@sie42069]

Dermatologists hate anything with fragrance added and that can be harsh or stripping and a lot of makeup wipes have those things in them. The worst thing about makeup wipes is how bad they are for the environment

[@Goldenretriever-k8m]

agreed. I've just been using soap and a washcloth my entire life and my skin looks great for my age. plus its cheap and works great and is better for the environment. i put moisturizer and serums on afterwards so i'm not dry. my mom and grandmas all did soap and washcloth. they were beautiful. they also did vaseline.

[@Goldenretriever-k8m]

just use a washcloth so you dont have it allover your counter and sink

[@JuriAmari]

That’s why I always follow up my wipes with a cleanser. The wipes are the first stage to get the majority of the hard stuff off. It helps me cut down on washing time a lot, especially after a long event or if I’m too sore from dancing.

[@ezodragon]

double cleansing also just feels so good on my skin. the oil is nourishing, the gel is gentle and hydrating, and the other skincare products sink right into the skin. i can feel the difference 100%

Thanks for the video, Cassandra! I see makeup wipes as an unnecessary product unless people want to use them as a first step or keep them around for emergencies. For example, a couple of times I came home from work because I was sick and didn't feel up to washing off my makeup. Wipes would have been useful. And as you pointed out, there are environmental issues with many makeup wipes.

[@jessiesprinkleberries]

I use both. I wipe off my makeup during work or in my car after work (depends on how I feel that day). Then later at home I use micellar water and facewash.

I actually always only used the wipes before and hated that part of the day and my skin was literal trash.

[@saracunningham7679]

[@swiftie13kkp]

Yes this is partly why people shouldn’t use makeup wipes but also they can clog you’re pores so try and use cleansers or something better. Also if your haven’t already can you try micellar water on one side and cleanser on the other? Thank you❤️

[@LIFESTYLE-ho5vd]

I mostly use makeup wipes to remove most of the makeup and then do a double cleanse, and this usually does it for it don’t have to be either or. Although I have been using like cotton pads with a micelles water mixed with baby oil in place of makeup wipes then use a cleanser to wash my face and this has been much better 😁

[@wakeuplydia28]

I went on so much medication for my skin (I’m only 16), including Accutane, and didn’t really notice a difference with anything. Around the time I finished my Accutane treatment I switched from makeup wipes to micellar water - and the difference could be seen in a number of days. I can’t believe none of the dermatologists asked what products I was using, the makeup wipes were definitely the problem, and I often find myself wishing I used micellar water sooner as to prevent some of the scarring I have today🥲 my skin looks AMAZING though (also helped by CeraVe) and I’m never going back🤞🏼

[@Nonsequitoria2010]

I use a wipe to get off the bulk of my makeup, then double cleanse in the shower - baking soda cleanser to gently exfoliate any remaining makeup, then a cleanser for general skin treatment. (I use tea tree or turmeric for oily skin.) The steam obviously helps open the pores, plus I'll do my cleansing while my conditioner is sitting so I only have to do 1 big rinse right at the end.

[@KleioChronicles]

If you want to get off stubborn and waterproof makeup then just use an oil based cleanser followed by a gel/foam wash. I like to use a silicone removal pad too. Even micellar water isn’t going to be as effective as an oil. Make-up wipes are by their nature irritating as you’re rubbing the skin in a much harsher way and they’re not as effective so you go and rub it more. Also, always double cleanse. Make-up remover followed by a cleanser/wash. Face wipes are supposed to be a travel/convenience thing, not an everyday thing.

[@pistolemi2156]

I use a makeup balm for the bulk, and finish with a cleanser.

[@Lioness006]

Looks like both is the correct answer. Use the wipe first to get the majority off, then double cleanse to remove the rest of the makeup, then micellar water to remove the cleanser residue and any remaining tough makeup like waterproof mascara. Then toner, treatment & serum (I mix together on the back of my hand right before I'm about to apply, which makes a very small amount of product go a LOT farther), & moisturizer. Add SPF if daytime, use a thicker moisturizer for night time or winter. I have pretty oily/combo and acne prone skin. I've been doing my skincare this way for probably 3 years now and my skin has been doing great, plus my products last longer.

[@cantthinkofanamebrb5132]

I use water based baby wipes for my first cleanse (my skin is very sensitive) and a qv gentle cleanser to remove my make up and it’s worked for me for years.

[@realcheshirewags1965]

I don’t use wipes all the time but they are handy when travelling

I like to use both. Makeup wipes help to take off the bulk and very sticky stuff (like the eye-makeup, it did well on that while double cleansing didn't get it all off). Then I only have to cleanse once and I'm less likely to get a bunch of makeup in my eyes, hair, etc.

[@Vanyel_K]

Yeah I noticed that too! It did the job when she used it right. I'm quite disappointed in how she can't see how her bias is influencing this "test"

[@psyducktective]

id love to see the results with those makeup remover washcloth things

[@suzanneduff327]

I sometimes use wipes and then a gel cleanser if im super tired but majority ill use a cleasing balm,then a gel then a cream ❤

[@jingbahurfavboobah6748]

That’s why I use a toner and moisturizer after using my makeup wipes

[@---xe5et]

Reusable cloths (you can just cut up an old soft tshirt!) and micelear water plus a double cleanse!! You can do then in any order you like, but I prefer double cleansing first to get the majority off and then going over nooks and cranies with the cloth. You can also use toner right after.

[@afroaesthete3701]

Whenever I have on heavy “event” makeup: makeup wipes > oil cleanse > foam cleanse > one last run through w/ micellar water

[@SabrinaRina]

I use wipes only for general oiliness in hotter seasons, but I don't do heavy makeup. So it's really just to get light grime and oil.

[@RJWorrell]

I’ve never got into makeup wipes. I somehow knew already. Lol I always double cleanse.

[@Hannah-io9jb]

I only wear eye makeup, but I stopped using wipes only because I found they were more expensive and required a lot of rubbing to get it off. I use cotton pads and non-silicone micellar water. It removes easily and nicely and doesn’t cause me breakouts or pain.

[@elissa3188]

I agree with so many- use the wipe first, then a regular cleanser/face wash - and if really worried, end with micellar water and cotton pads. That said, I don't usually wear makeup anymore and I'm often lazy at night- so I just use micellar water and pads, washing my face more properly when I take a shower. (solo mom of a 3 yr old, to tired for more)

[@damayantianand7949]

I use make up only on VERY special occasions. Most times it's make up wipe first, then oil cleanser, then micellar water, then a normal cleanser, then another make up wipe to make sure it's all off (sometimes it isn't) and then a cleanser again. A whole bunch of moisturiser after

[@JessicaPradoHanson]

Before I used to use wipes from honest which I think are the best and then use a cleanser. But then I survived severe head trauma that gave me severe MS and I can have seizures from being wet. I have to be really warm and then being wet is ok but if I am room temp and get wet I can have seizures. So Wipes are now essential if I don't want to warm up the bathroom to wash my face or shower. But I don't know why you would only use wipes. I feel more clean when I use a wipe and wash, which is what I prefer. It was a great idea to use UV because I swear I can feel it when there is still stuff on my skin. I think I am just sensitive.

[@devinpierce2784]

Yesss. But know that makeup wipes still have uses! They’re great for quickly fixing bleeding eyeliner/mascara or helping someone fix their makeup in the bathroom! I remember at prom I helped a friend put on makeup who usually didn’t wear any and she decided after dinner and pictures that the mascara felt really weird and she wanted to take it off before going to the dance. No problem, I have a wipe! Saved her night because she didn’t have to be uncomfortable dancing.

[@raven8sma]

I like to use a cold cream to melt everything, wipe it off with tissue, and then do some kind of wash. That's where I might use a wipe instead of a full face wash.

[@kai0tfoool]

Oil cleanser first for makeup removal, then go in with a different cleanser. Toner on pads to wipe away excess particles left

[@lindseyjaylehysellbonge3323]

You've officially scared me, but please try again with clinique wipes for the TRUE test! With so much love from Michigan ❤❤❤

[@mariashadows1328]

I feel like a combination of things really helps me get my makeup off. I use micellar water for the initial clean and then clean my face with a cleanser 😋

[@JasmineSurrealVideos]

Really interesting experiment, I find that make up wipes don't really get off all the junk of the day especially sunscreen, so I use one to get off the worst crap if I've been out and have sunscreen and make up on, and then follow with a proper cleanser and toner, or just use a cleanser and toner. They are really good though if you are really tired as its better than sleeping with sunscreen and concealer on, especially round the eyes.

[@jxssisrxxm]

Lmaoo the “NOOoo” 💀😂

[@TotallynotAddie13]

The duck sound caught me off guard Lmao

[@maisielb1517]

If youre set on makeup wipes, for example when drunk, a perfect alternative is micellar water on cotton pads, just as quick and easy, cheap, and much better for your skin. 😊

[@AxelXionSora]

When I happen to wear makeup for any reason I usually use makeup wipes to help get stubborn makeup like waterproof mascara so that I’m not scrubbing the skin off my face trying to get something off

[@cheyenneherrera5]

This look like a fun science project 😃

[@luyandamthembu5678]

I honestly use both

[@PetiteDivaReacts]

I use a cleansing oil or balm then use baby wipes to remove the oil/balm and makeup. Follow up with water and a water based cleanser. This method helps to remove all of the makeup or at least 99% of the makeup on my face.

[@payalkundu1936]

Coconut oil, following chickpea flour. Best make up remover.

[@MintakaSaiph]

Makeup eraser then face wash: dermalogica daily microfoliant. I do see that some mascara does not come off of the makeup eraser though but as long as it’s not on my face; I’m good.

[@blacksheep1924]

This it's why I do both. Get as much off with the wipes as I can then go in with my makeup remover of choice and then I do skincare

[@rosieweaselby]

If you have any eye gland issues (which leftover makeup can cause or exacerbate), eye doctors recommend to cleanse the eye area with special little cleanser wipes meant for that area as well, which would get your double cleanse side to perfect if used as a last step. It’s not healthy for the eyes for little bits of eye makeup to be left unknowingly in the lash line.

[@danielle6470]

Whoooa, how red your face was after washing via Wishful 👀! I've been using Neutrogena wipes for 10+ years. Strictly for my matte red lipstick. Wiping my face for makeup removal with a wipe just sounds weird. I personally use a face tool/brush along with my cleanser for my face. But everyone's skin's sensitivity is totally different 🧏🏻‍♀️

[@Goldenretriever-k8m]

i just wash my face with a washcloth and soap. its cheap and easy and it works and my skin likes it. i just put moisturizer on afterwards and whatever serums i want.

[@CRD892]

Try both it might help

[@basic_kīx]

I triple cleanse! Elemis cleansing balm, dermalogica cleansing gel and micellar water.

[@meowmeowfuzzyface3698]

I usually use either micellar water or a cleansing balm. I personally love the Juno Skin one and the Heimish brand is also excellent. I just have VERY sensitive skin, so the wipes irritate my face from having to sort of scrub with them.

[@gigglingchaos1795]

I have an auto immune condition that makes my skin sensitive to the sun so I'm in sun screen every day. Sometimes I am just too tired to sit and do the full routine so I have makeup wipes and Dr. Jart overnight mask for those. Not the best, but better than going to bed with a dirty face.

[@SuperLadyDanger]

Wipes are what I’d suggest for hospital stays and long distance travel. You can also soak some cotton pads (or similar stuff) in micellar water to use after the wipes. It may technically still not be as good as actual double cleansing, but it has its places.
