Makeup removing towelettes are effective and very convenient. If you have these around, you have no excuse not to take your makeup off before you go to bed. The problem is, the popular brands(such as Ponds) are very expensive. I found a discount brand called Equate carried at Wal-Mart. If there isnt a Wal-Mart near you, baby wipes work just as well and are also less expensive. Another plus, baby wipes come in many varieties. Alcohol free, Fragrance Free, Perfumed and with or without Aloe.
