These are so delicious.

They’re also my favorite Simple Skincare product right now, for two reasons:

1. Warmer weather means more sweat and general buildup, so they’re great additions to my purse on especially hot days (and are gentle enough to use on my son’s sweaty little self, as well).

2. After 9:30PM rolls around, I become horrifyingly lazy and need to catapult myself directly into bed.

Really: the sloth level is inexcusable. I do things like fantasize about glasses of water but then not get up for them, because the bathroom is three feet away and that’s too far. Sometimes I lie down, start paging through Us Weekly, and realize I haven’t washed my face, and even though in theory I “care”…I don’t really care. But I do want to get my makeup off (because that’s one of my rules), and having a package of these in my bedside table means that I get clean skin without any residue or dryness.

All of Simple’s wipes are great, but I especially love the original Cleansing Facial Wipes and the Radiance Cleansing Wipes (pictured above), which have mango extract to remove impurities and no alcohol, artificial perfumes or harsh chemicals (they’re even gentle enough to use around the delicate eye area, although Simple also sells Eye Makeup Remover Pads that you can keep in your bedside table right next to the cleansing wipes if you’d like to use a separate product for this purpose).

Try them; you’ll love them too, I think.

I’ve been incorporating Simple Skincare products into my daily skincare routine for almost a year now, and have seen some pretty fantastic results. I rarely break out the way I used to, and my skin just feels generally calmer and more stable. But I still have skin issues – persistent dryness (that eases up a little in the summer, but is still there all year round), undereye puffiness, and fine lines (especially around my eyes).

And it’s spring, and spring is all about starting fresh, so I took a minute to revisit my skincare routine and see if I’m using the right products for my specific issues, and what (if anything) needs to be added or taken away.

Simple recently developed Simple Sense, an interactive skincare tool that considers each person’s individual skin triggers, lifestyle, diet and well-being in order to create a detailed skincare routine. I took it yesterday, and was blown away by how extensive and personalized the advice was. And it’s so nice! Seriously, when it gets to areas that you could maybe improve a little on, it basically gives you a hug and says “That’s OK, we all struggle with this stuff sometimes.” Lovely all around.

My Major Take-Home Tips:

- I tend to just splash my face with water in the morning, but the tool recommended that I add a gentle cleanser to my morning routine.

- I do try to exfoliate regularly, but sometimes…you know, life gets in the way. And I forget. Simple Sense recommended that I try to commit to once-a-week exfoliation with a gentle scrub.

- I should remember to use a moisturizer with SPF even if my plans don’t involve being outside all day long; even small amounts of exposure can damage skin.

- I need to chill out and stop being such a stressball (I’m trying, I’m trying).

The Products Recommended For Me:

Simple Eye Makeup Remover (I already use this religiously)

Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15 (check, will do)

Simple Radiance Cleansing Wipes (I love Simple’s cleansing wipes, and just installed a new package in my bedside table)

Simple Soothing Facial Toner (will incorporate this into my nightly routine)
