Mattifying facial wipes - rating of the best and rules of use

How do matting wipes work?

What is a napkin? A small piece of fabric or paper that is soaked in special solutions. A mattifying wet wipe differs from a regular one by the presence of a special component on its villi, which removes the oily sheen of the skin, refreshing it and making it more velvety.

Using this product, you can quickly correct makeup, make your face cleaner, and create a matte effect on the dermis. It is worth noting that this is perhaps the best skin care product in the summer.

There are many types of such accessories. For example, napkins with powder. The smallest particles of powder are applied to the fibers of these devices. Unfortunately, there is no color palette, but in the heat you can do without foundation, which is very difficult to choose. One more nuance: with such a mattifying effect, you cannot choose the desired shade.

There are wipes with plant extracts, such as tea tree or chamomile. These products not only cleanse the skin and give freshness, but also disinfect it. Try to use trusted companies that use natural ingredients.

Making oil removal wipes at home

Of course, it’s not possible to make a real matting napkin, comparable to a product from a store, using improvised materials. But you can also prepare a similar remedy at home to absorb sebum and tighten pores . For this you will need:

• paper napkins;
• tonic or lotion for problem skin;
• herbal decoction (you can use decoctions of burdock, linden, mint, oak bark, nettle or horsetail).

Decoctions of nettle and other plants help make the skin matte

You need to combine equal volumes of lotion and decoction, add 2-3 drops of essential oil (if you are not allergic) of rosemary, orange or lavender. Place napkins into the solution until the liquid completely saturates them. Take out the napkins, wait until the solution drains from them, dry and pack the finished product into a storage container.

Making your own napkins

How to make wet matting wipes at home? We declare the gathering of hand-made masters open. We will need:

1. Paper towels;
2. Container for napkins;
3. Skin lotion;
4. Boiled water;
5. Liquid soap.

Depending on the needs, the composition of the napkins may vary. For example, you can add a decoction of herbs instead of boiling water, or replace the lotion with a cleanser or tonic. It is also permissible to add a little mattifying foundation in the form of a few drops.

Cut paper towels in half to create two identical rolls. We pull out the free end from the middle of one roll, and put this roll in a container for future napkins. Now the impregnation. You need to mix water, fragrances (we didn’t write about them, but you can take any aromatic oil of your choice, just a few drops), lotion, soap. The result will be a very fragrant liquid, which is what we need to pour on our future napkins. We water generously, trying to use all sides of the napkins. Afterwards, it is recommended to close the container and shake the napkins in different directions for several minutes. That's it, now everything is ready to use.

If you wish, you can choose blush to match your face tone (it is advisable to get as close to natural shades as possible), and run the brush over your cheekbones several times after using the napkins.

What should you pay attention to when purchasing?

When trying to find “your” napkins for regular use, sometimes you have to try several products that differ in price, composition and quality of the paper base.

They don't necessarily have to be more expensive than others - you'll make a smart choice by choosing one that suits your skin, doesn't cause irritation, and provides a long-lasting mattifying effect.

However, there are general recommendations that will help you make your choice if you have never used such a tool before.

Compound

To napkins containing alcohol in the impregnation, say categorically: “No!” - the product will dry out the epidermis and provoke the opposite effect: the sebaceous glands will begin to produce more secretion to moisturize dry skin.

There are classic and modified wipes on sale: for sensitive skin, toning, soothing, antibacterial and drying. The corresponding effect is achieved through the addition of plant extracts and essential oils. Some are covered with foundation powder and glitter, but you should be careful here - the result of the first application may be disappointing.

The basis

Napkins are made from rice paper, cellulose, wood pulp, flax or synthetic microporous film. All of them are equally hypoallergenic and safe for the skin.

Package

It should reliably protect unused copies from contamination and at the same time be convenient. Napkins are produced in the form of a compact roll or a tear-off pad, in which matting leaves are fastened together. Some have standard packaging with a pocket, others are placed in a stack in an envelope. Which form is better - decide for yourself.

Napkin size

The smaller the paper, the faster it is used up. Usually you need two napkins to freshen your face, but there are economical options when one is enough. If the napkins are very small, you will have to use 3-4 copies.

Price and quality

If you're a fan of luxury cosmetic brands, look for mattifying wipes at their product stands - the quality of your favorite manufacturer will not disappoint.

There is no need to blindly focus on cost. If you consider yourself to be a supporter of reasonable savings, evaluate the future expenditure of the product and determine the amount that you are willing to allocate monthly from your budget for its purchase.

Please note that a standard package contains 50-60 pieces, and this is enough for several weeks - it all depends on how intensely your skin secretes oily secretions.

Review of brands

But not everyone likes making napkins themselves, and for such girls, it is indeed easier to buy such accessories. For some reasons, we selected market leaders. Many are famous for their consistent quality, but still the vast majority captivate customers with low prices.

Many mattifying and moisturizing wipes, the price of which is quite high, are made using natural ingredients and the latest technologies, which require good investments, but they don’t skimp on beauty, do they? Moreover, in the summer it is recommended to use such complexion correctors, especially after laser skin resurfacing.

If it is still unclear where to buy mattifying facial wipes, we can recommend several trusted places:

1. Pharmacy;
2. Cosmetics store;
3. A store of a certain cosmetics company (here you can buy goods in bulk, which will be much cheaper);
4. In small cities (Omsk, Kaliningrad) you are unlikely to find genuine Chanel or Clinic products, so you can order them on iherb.
5. Visit a forum of interests, where you will learn about places of sale in your city (be it Minsk or Kyiv - girls everywhere share the secrets of their beauty).

How to choose

Before you find “your” napkins that will become a real lifesaver, you will have to try several brands. Only in this way, through trial and error, can you find the ideal option for your skin.

Today, the beauty industry offers its consumers a lot of mattifying wipes. These products may differ in cost, base used, composition, etc. However, it would be a huge mistake to think that the most expensive napkins are the best.

My friends, make wise choices. Buy products that actually suit your skin. One that provides a long-lasting mattifying effect and does not cause irritation. This is the ideal solution for your skin.

When choosing matting products, focus on the following points:

1. Composition of napkins
   . Never buy a skincare product that contains alcohol. This component will dry out your skin. And instead of reducing sebum production, the opposite effect will be observed. The glands will secrete much more secretion than they did before. Give preference to wipes containing plant extracts and aromatic oils.
2. The basis
   . Matting wipes can be made from cellulose, wood pulp, flax, microporous film or rice paper. This material itself has strong absorbent properties. In addition, it is hypoallergenic and completely safe for the skin.
3. Napkin size
   . The smaller the napkins, the more you will need to freshen your face.
4. Package
   . These skin care products are available in a roll version and in the form of a tear-off pad. Place them in a package with a pocket or in an envelope. So try different ones and choose the option that is most convenient for you.

Final word

We can talk endlessly about the benefits of such napkins.

1. They are small and fit into any handbag;
2. Do not weigh down the skin, do not clog pores;
3. Most of the products on the market are hypoallergenic;
4. There will be no streaks on the skin after a long party or splashes of water.

We recommend mattifying wipes for girls with problem skin, especially in the summer heat, and for women who rejuvenate their face without surgery, because hydration is the basis of beauty.
