Benefits of using a facial cloth
Using a facial cloth in conjunction with your regular cleanser can actually give you a deeper cleanse than what you'd get with just cleanser alone. Used either with product or just dampened with warm water, facial cloths can gently exfoliate the skin and buff away dry and dead skin cells cells to reveal a clearer and brighter complexion, and can even minimise the appearance of acne and blackheads. Facial cloths and wipes are also great for removing makeup as they can save you some serious time and simplify your skincare routine by making everything so much quicker and easier, making them perfect for busy parents and families or even fussy teenagers.
Best natural facial cloths
Life Basics Organic Muslin Facial Cloths
The Life Basics Organic Muslin Facial Cloths are an essential, plus they come in a pack of three so you're never left without one when it's time to give your cloth a clean. They're designed to be used with your favourite facial cleanser to give you a deeper cleanse and light exfoliation, and they're made from soft, breathable, unbleached organic Cotton so they're safe for the whole family to use.
