Hi!

If you're a parent, or a fan of wipes in general, then you're more than likely already familiar with Water Wipes.

Branded the world's purest wipe, they contain 99.9% water and 100% natural ingredients. They've been a favourite in our house since I saw them stocked locally - I have a pack in the car at all times. When I had my son in 2004, it was stressful enough being a new first-time parent without having to start messing around with cotton wool. Water wipes would have been an absolute godsend. I have a pack in my hospital bag for this time around, and judging by any parenting forum I visit, they're one of the first items people pick up for new babies.

Water wipes have recently branched out to include a sensitive facial wipe, containing sea mineral extract. They're sure to follow in the successful footsteps of the original wipes - already, they've become the official sponsor of Stepping Out, the new Saturday evening ITV dance show.

They're fragrance free, alcohol free, and are suitable for daily use. The claims on the pack are threefold - that they won't dry out skin, they won't sting, and they're effective at makeup removal. So, are they any good?

I've been trialling these for a while now, and I really do like them a lot. I know some people are dubious about using wipes, but they're still a hugely popular product and handy to have. Given the fact that I'm 8 months pregnant with twins (bet you'll all be glad when I have them so that I can stop talking about it) and my energy is wavering between sloth and slug, I've been really thankful for the existence of a good thick wipe that feels lovely & fresh and does everything it promises to do. I've actually kept a second packet in the fridge just so that I have something lovely & cool to use when it gets hot (or I overheat) - they're seriously refreshing. They're also a generous size and not flimsy.

The facial wipes come in packs of 24, but one is more than enough to get rid of a face full of makeup. They definitely didn't sting, nor did they dry my skin out -  I'm prone to dry skin and I've had no problems whatsoever after weeks of use. A bit of moisturiser or serum afterwards and Bob's your Uncle - I know it's no substitute for a "proper" skincare routine but in fairness isn't it better than going to bed with your makeup on?
