Makeup Remover Pads: Face Halo

Say goodbye to harsh, eye burning, money guzzling, landfill-filling makeup wipes forever! Say hello to reusable makeup remover pads!

As a gal on the go, I am always looking for ways to take up less space in my suitcase and toiletry bag. Over the past two years, my makeup remover wipes have become a source of trouble at home and when traveling. While makeup remover is an absolute essential for my lifestyle, I found the “cons” of my routine piling up.

Cons of traditional makeup wipes:

  • Expensive
  • Single use
  • Wasteful
  • Many brands are not eco-friendly
  • Many brands have unwanted chemicals
  • Wipes dry out before able to use them all


According to Diana Felton MD, state toxicologist with the Hawaii Department of Health “The biggest environmental problem with makeup remover wipes is the sheer volume.” It is estimated that 20 million pounds of single-use wipes (including baby wipes and disinfecting wipes) are disposed of every day in the United States. This can wreak havoc on our landfills and sewer systems!

I found myself buying the generic grocery store brand and tearing the wipes up into smaller pieces as a means of making them last longer. Sometimes you don’t know what you’re missing out on until a friend introduces you to a new solution! Shout out to my best gal, Rachel for gifting me the perfect Christmas present and the answer to my beauty regimen prayers!

Makeup remover pads: Face Halo

Were ya’ll aware that reusable makeup remover pads were a thing? I sure wasn’t! The best part of all? They are SO easy to use and just as easy to clean and reuse! (Each pad can be reused up to 200 times!) Not only is the Face Halo sustainable, but it’s also economical!

What is Face Silk Original reusable makeup remover pad?

  • Ultra-soft Microfiber pad
  • The fibers “suction” all of the makeup, oil and grime out of your pores
  • Antimicrobial (agent that kills microorganisms or stops their growth)
  • Eco-friendly
  • Vegan friendly
  • No-chemicals or waste
  • Machine washable
  • Saves money!


Let me walk you through the easiest 3 step process:

  1. Wet Face Silk pad with water and squeeze out excess water

  2. Gently rub Face Silk pad on your face to remove makeup, may need to add additional water to pad to remove all makeup (especially for eyes and lipstick)

  3. Rinse and air dry. (When needed toss your Face Silk pad into your washing machine and let air dry)

I removed my makeup using the Face Silk only on the left side of my face (right side of photo).
As you can see there is no residue left behind on my face! I was able to remove all of the makeup entirely by only adding water to the Face Silk Pad
