Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 What you're looking for is called Facewaves. It's available from http://www.makeupmania.com/Details/TI-0195-01-001.cfm Facewaves also has a website that sells the mitt, but I can't seem to find it w/ a google search. I have found that the mitt is good for one of my 2 face washings a day - I use it in the am. I have found that using it exclusively for a few days straight, my face isn't is clean as I would like - the pores around my nose seem larger, because there's residue left in them (usually from makeup). Consequently, I use my normal cleanser at night (Aveno creamy baby cleanser or Almay Kinetin face cleanser). So, it isn't perfect, but by cutting my chemical use in half, my skin is less annoyed! HTH- in Michigan glove? > searched the archives but i can't find the posts that talked about the glove used to wash the face. any leads would be appreciated. > thanks > ryan > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 I think this is what you are looking for... From: " jody737 " Date: Thu Apr 11, 2002 9:33 pm Subject: " cleansing mitt " that uses no soap or cleanser This may be helpful to those of you (like me) who haven't been able to find a cleanser that works without irritating. I've been using a product for about 4 months called FACEWAVES that is used with water only, no cleanser. It's a thin " mitt " that fits over your hand and is made of a very soft, fine looped terrycloth-like material. I just saturate the mitt in warm filtered water and gently clean off my makeup using as light a pressure as I can and still remove the makeup. I use a water-based makeup that comes off fairly easily with it. (When I've used ZincO or any other sunscreen, it doesn't work as well, as I've had to resort to somekind of soap.) The pressure from the mitt is a little abrasive and my face is pink afterwards, but it generally goes away fairly quickly. And I've found that the mechanical pressure is less irritating and certainly not as long lasting as irritation I get from any of the cleansers or mild soaps. When I've finished washing my face, I just wash it out with a mild bar soap (Cetaphil) while it's on my hand and then wring it out and hang it to dry. It seems to be some kind of microfiber and dries very quickly. If any of you are interested, there's a picture and a description at http://www.makeupmania.com/Details/TI-0195-01-001.cfm - and it's $12 and will probably last indefintely. It's not perfect, and ideally I would prefer something that requires less rubbing, but it's the best I've been able to come up with for now! here's the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rosacea-support/message/37472 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
