Disposable makeup remover discs are one of the last things you use before you go to bed every night. Especially in those "difficult hours", after a long day or a wild night, the last thing you want to worry about is removing your make-up - ok, accepted. How many times have you thought that with a click of your fingers, the makeup would magically be removed from your face and you would find yourself lying on your soft bed, smelling of musk, with clean, hydrated skin? And so do we!

A movement that is done so mechanically, the make-up removal disc that rests between your fingers and that removes the day's make-up with circular movements, the smell of the make-up remover lotion, signal that the time has come to let go and finally relax. It is the first and most important step in your evening beauty routine and a small, symbolic self-care moment. But why replace disposable makeup remover discs with reusable ones?

1. Reusable makeup remover pads work better

It's no longer a secret that reusable makeup remover pads are more effective at removing makeup than conventional disposable pads. Their soft fabric made of high quality organic cotton without toxic dyes, removes makeup almost without rubbing on the face, eyes and lips. At the same time, they lightly and gently exfoliate the skin without affecting the natural hydrolipidic film. The result is glowing skin, very soft, makeup-free in half the time than usual.

2. Disposable makeup remover pads are bad for the environment 

Disposable make-up pads or the cotton we use for make-up removal, seriously harms the environment with the chemicals they contain, pesticides, disturbing wildlife to create plantations and most of all wasting water. It takes 380 liters of water to create 0.5 kg of cotton used in disposable make-up removal discs, while according to official records, there are currently 2,000,000 on the planet.000 people do not have access to clean drinking water and basic personal hygiene conditions. ALEXIASKIN pads are reusable make-up removal trays that can be used hundreds of times. ALEXIASKIN is produced in Greece with raw materials from Europe that are governed by Fair Trade, i.e. it is ensured that their raw materials are not produced under conditions of slavery, child labor or destruction of natural resources.

In addition, they do not contain chemicals: the fabrics used for the ALEXIASKIN pads have GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification as well as the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, i.e. they do not contain chemicals and dyes at any stage of their production toxic to humans and the environment. It is also ensured that the entire process of their creation, from the farmer-producer to the completion of each fabric, is done with absolute respect for human rights and nature.

*The production process of ALEXIASKIN pads takes place in Greece supporting small Greek businesses, with minimal pollution to the environment and energy consumption. The packaging of the pads comes from recycled paper and is fully recyclable, while the pads themselves, when discarded after hundreds of uses, completely and naturally decompose in just a few years.

3. They are very easy to clean

Reusable products, does not mean more effort! Once you have used a pad to remove your makeup, store it aside and wash it all together in the washing machine at 40 degrees with the rest of the clothes of the same color. Lay it out to dry normally with a peg if you want in the sun and in 2-3 hours it is ready for its next use! The pads are also cleaned by hand. You can place them in a little warm water with soap for 10 minutes and with a little rubbing the stains are removed.

4. You save money

The habit of using disposable products is not only bad for our environment but also for our pocket.The price of 2€-5€ for disposable products may seem attractive to us, but in reality the annual cost is much higher than reusable products. It is a small investment that reduces your future expenses and also reduces the footprint on the environment! Win-Win!
