We did not know this!

Sometimes the whole cleansing, toning, and moisturising lark is too much to ask and you can only muster up the energy for a quick once over with a face wipe.

Face wipes shouldn’t be used in place of a skin care routine but look, we all know that they’re handy to have after a big night out, when you’re wrecked or when you run out of your usual products.

You wouldn’t think there’s a specific method for using a wipe but one expert has a different opinion.

Speaking to InStyle, dermatologist Debra Luftman said that how you use the wipe can make all the difference.

The Beverly Hills-based skincare aficionado advises that you should wipe from the forehead down towards the jaw.This will help to avoid redistributing oil around the face and thus causing breakouts.

GROSS…

Debra also gave another tip and that is to finish with wiping your nose because that’s the “grimiest” part of your face.

It makes sense to be fair, not like you want to spread blackhead-inducing, pore-blocking grime anywhere else.
