If you are still using makeup wipes, please take the following precautions: Neutrogena’s makeup remover Ultra Soft Cleansing Towels were just recalled after some tested positive for Pluralibacter gelgoviae, a bacteria that can be dangerous to certain people, as reported by The New York Times.
The recall applies to specific lot numbers distributed in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas. Neutrogena’s global consumer health company, Kenview, said it had acted “out of an abundance of caution” and no other products were affected.
The good news? There are many easy, no-wipe methods to safely remove makeup.
Cleansing oils and balms are luxurious alternatives that easily dissolve makeup without irritating your skin. Micellar water is also a superstar, refreshing your skin while removing dirt. The best part? Many of them are available for purchase on Amazon and are ready to ship within 2 days (for simple fixes).
So think of it as a little upgrade to your nighttime routine. No more pulling or rubbing, just leave your skin clean and nourished.
With so many safe options, it’s the perfect excuse to pamper yourself while avoiding recalled wipes.
