Facial Cleansing Cloths Remove Make Up Without Water

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I am going camping where there is no running water, only an outhouse. The problem is that I want to wear makeup, but I do not want to sleep in makeup, so what should I do? Is sleeping in makeup over the weekend okay?

Signed,

Need fresh face

Dear Need fresh face,

It is important to clean your face and remove make up before going to bed. Make up, dirt, and oil that accumulates during the day can clog pores and cause pimples.

Pre-moistened facial cleansing cloths would take off your make up and clean your face without water. These cloths are very popular not only for camping, but also for daily use. One cloth replaces soap, water, and eye make up remover, and leaves skin feeling fresh, clean, and smooth. Many cleansing cloths are soap free, alcohol free and contain vitamin E, moisturizers, and natural botanical extracts such as aloe or green tea.

Facial cleansing cloths given overall high positive ratings by consumers at DrugStore.com are listed below. Prices vary from about $5 to $7 for a pack of 30 cloths. In addition, Costco sells Kirkland Signature Daily Facial Cleansing Towelettes that work very well and good bargain costing about $10 for 135 towelettes.
