I’m not really a face wipe kind of girl, I find that they don’t remove all my make up thoroughly and my face just doesn’t feel as clean as it does when I’ve properly cleansed. If you follow Fleur de Force you’ll have heard her rave about her love for the Ole Henriksencleansing cloths for quite some time, and I have to admit I was pretty intrigued how a pack of £15 face wipes could be any better than a £3 pack.
Until now the only wipes in the Ole Henriksen range were the original Truth To Go wipes which have been repackaged as The Clean Truth, but later this month two new varieties will be added to the range- Nuture Me and Grease Relief. They’ve also reduced to price of a pack of 30 wipes from £15 to £12, which is still a lot for face wipes and I’m yet to be convinced that they’re worth it.
First of all let me tell you about the smell of these, they’re so fresh and lovely and smell just like oranges and blackcurrant. I have the Nurture Me* and The Clean Truth* pack of 30 cleansing cloths. The Nurture Me cloths are said to dissolve dirt, oil and water proof make up whilst soothing, softening and comforting dry skin so these are great is you have dry and sensitive skin. The Brightening wipes remove dirt, oil and water proof make up whilst boosting radiance, replenishing and adding moisture to the skin.
Apart from not feeling fully cleansed after using wipes I also find they provoke a reaction to my sensitive skin. The great thing about the Ole Henriksen wipes is they’re alcohol and soap free so are perfect for sensitive skin. For me these are perfect for when I’m being lazy or for flights as they remove every trace of make up and smell delicious. I know that £12 for face wipes but if you can afford it then these are a really great option for lazy nights.
The new Cleansing Cloths will be available later this month for £12 online and in store at John Lewis, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges.
