First, things are different
1. Wet wipes are moist tissues used to wipe the skin. Wet wipes on the market can be roughly divided into two categories: one is that they have been disinfected, but can't disinfect other items. They contain skin care ingredients and can only be used for skin moisturizing and maintenance.
The other type is the disinfection wet wipes which are not only disinfected by themselves, but also can play a disinfection role in other items, and can be used as disinfection or sterilization for skin abrasions, scratches, etc. When purchasing wet wipes, be sure to see the function and positioning of wet wipes.
2. Makeup remover wipes are disposable cleaning and hygiene products that assist makeup remover, and have the basic functions of cleaning and moisturizing skin. Take non-woven fabric as carrier, add makeup remover essence and other ingredients, and wipe to remove makeup.
Second, different uses
1. Makeup remover wipes are used to remove makeup, especially when traveling, camping, going to the gym and other places can't guarantee that you can wash your face with facial cleanser and water, so makeup remover wipes are a good substitute.
2. Wet wipes are mainly used to clean the skin. When it is not convenient to wash with water when going out, it is disposable. The liquid components soaked in common wet wipes are generally distilled water or purified water, disinfectant and essence.
Third, the matters needing attention are different
1. Choose wet wipes as needed.
1) For ordinary cleaning, household or outdoor use, you can choose ordinary wet wipes to meet the purpose of cleaning;
2) For those who have high requirements and want to have a certain sterilization effect after wiping, you can choose sanitary wipes, but sanitary wipes can only have a certain antibacterial effect, and they will have a sterilization effect after wiping for a while, but can't achieve the disinfection effect;
3) For wet wipes with special requirements that can be sterilized quickly and play a disinfection role, it is necessary to choose sterilized wet wipes, which can be completely sterilized, mainly to prevent sudden influenza, etc.
2. Makeup remover wipes
1) Makeup remover wipes omit the step of washing with water, but still leave a little dirt on the skin.
2) If the active cleaning ingredients, high-concentration dissolvent, surfactant and emulsified residues in the makeup remover wipes are not thoroughly washed away, the skin may be irritated, and these residues are especially irritating to people with dry and sensitive skin. Some make-up remover wipes containing alcohol may also cause tingling. The special packaging of makeup remover wipes needs preservatives to extend the shelf life, so the skin may also be attacked by chemicals such as formaldehyde. In addition, we use make-up remover wipes with wiping action, which is more likely to irritate the skin than washing your face with clean water.
3) Make-up remover wipes can be used as an emergency when time is tight or conditions are limited (such as traveling, camping or gym, etc.). For people with oily skin or acne skin, it is even more necessary when there is no clear water. People with eczema and rosacea should avoid using makeup remover wipes to avoid aggravating symptoms due to irritation.
