Thanks to their exfoliating properties, they allow you to cleanse your skin thoroughly, essential for keeping your skin healthy. Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on earth and requires less water to grow, it is soft and gentle on your skin. In the morning, these pads worked wonderfully with our cleanser to provide a deeper clean – and even removed stubborn fake tan remnants, too – but they did feel a little bit harsh when scrubbing away foundation.

With seven mini face rounds, one face towel, an exfoliator sponge and a zip mesh wash bag, there’s a lot in this little kit. To get these pads to work most effectively, we’d recommend pairing them with a cleanser, as, although they claim to work with just warm water, they proved to cleanse much more deeply with a little helping hand. For anyone set on creating a more sustainable beauty routine, bamboo, organic cotton or even re-purposed pre-loved fabrics fit the brief the best. They’re super soft on the skin, but we did prefer using them with a cleanser to really get them to glide.Eco Bath's reusable bamboo makeup pads set comes complete with twelve (six white and six charcoal) super soft washable cleansing pads in a pure cotton bag. Throw the pads in the washing machine on a normal cycle, and they’ll come out just as soft and fresh. Made from three layers of fabric, they’re super-soft, but we’d recommend using a cleanser or toner, so they can glide across the skin for a really deep clean, sans any tugging. Gently massage the pad on your skin in circular motions to remove dead skin cells and lift away impurities.

Our organic makeup remover pads and cleansing gloves can be washed and reused hundreds of times, saving you money and reducing landfill waste. Their single-use counterparts are not just wasteful, but require cotton grown on a massive scale, needing pesticides, fertiliser, and large quantities of water.But the brand does recommend you use them with cleanser or micellar water for a thorough clean, and we certainly found this helped with face make-up.

Unlike classic cotton pads, which get thrown into the bin on a daily basis, these new(ish) nifty creations can be popped into the washing machine, and be used time and time again. When paired with our organic cleansers or toners, our Bamboo Reusable Makeup Remover pads are extremely simple to use.

But they’re an everyday essential that work to whittle down your waste, streamline your routine and, ultimately, save you money in the long run.

In addition to make-up, your skin becomes covered in bacteria, pollutants, dirt and dead skin during the day. With traditional cotton pads requiring vast amounts of water and pesticides to produce, these bamboo makeup remover pads are a sustainable alternative that will help you save both money and waste whilst ensuring you have a naturally clean face. They can even be used to remove nail varnish, though we really wouldn’t advise using the same ones on your face that have been soaked in nail-polish remover – even if they have been washed – so please keep these completely separate.

The velvet pads remained super soft after a tumble around the washing machine, and the scrub pads didn’t lose any scrubbing impact either. There are 10 named velvet pads, which are to be used for everyday cleansing, and four scrub pads, which offer an exfoliating effect. Everything is vegan, cruelty-free, hypoallergenic, non-toxic and suitable for sensitive skin, including these make-up remover pads. Our soft makeup pads are designed to remove light make-up, clean your skin and be used on sensitive areas such as your eyes.
