The day I switched from face wipes to oil cleansing

I remember back in 2018 when I was still using those store-bought face wipes on clients during cleanup and thought nothing of it. Then I spent an afternoon comparing the residue left behind on a client's skin and realized the wipes were just pushing dirt around. Has anyone else made the switch and noticed a huge difference in how clean the skin actually feels?

@mila_murphy21 come on, it's just wiping your face. Not that deep.

Oh man, the face wipe era was basically just smearing last week's makeup around in a gentle circle and calling it clean. I remember dabbing one on my arm after using it on my face and seeing the ghost of all my sins staring back at me. Oil cleansing feels like you're actually dissolving the grime instead of politely asking it to relocate to a different spot on your face. Plus no more scrubbing until my skin felt like sandpaper just to get mascara off. It's like upgrading from using a napkin to using actual soap, we all knew better we just didn't want to admit it.

And it's funny how that carries over to so many things in life we just accept the lazy version until someone shows us there's a better way. We settle for things that sort of work instead of asking if they actually work.
