It's no secret that I'm a bit of a bargain beauty hunter.
Recently I've been covering quite a few of Primarks bargain beauty offerings & showing some blog love for their false nail sets.
I've been a buyer of Primarks face wipes for a while now, & have always been pretty impressed that the no fragrance makeup wipes are 2 for £1 and they're pretty decent for the money too. However today I came across their exfoliating wipes (£1 per 1 pack) & decided to give them a go.
The wipes smell pretty good, they have cucumber extract & have a lovely freshness about them as soon as the pack is opened. The texture is actually quite soft & the exfoliation is made up of small green bumps in the tissue.
I have to admit, I was a little disappointed, the wipes really stung my skin (I think that may be the cucumber) I have pretty sensitive skin so they haven't really agreed with me. I've also had to moisturise pretty heavily as they dried my skin out. The actual exfoliation was decent, it wasn't too harsh but I can definitely feel my skin has benefitted from the use.. However the stinging sensation is enough to make me not reach for these again in a hurry.
- Its a real shame because I really rate their other range of skin care products.. However, I think I'll stick to my usual exfoliating products from now on!
I'm not much of a fan of the Primark face wipes - I do love their nail polishes though.
