Esthetic wipes that are designed for removing beauty products from the skin are generally highly absorbent, whereas those designed for applying products are only slightly absorbent. Among the least absorbent types, Intrinsics Silken Wipes perform the best and they are ideal for applying creams and cooling gels after waxing. They are made of a soft 4-ply fiber blend that is durable and non-linting. While they have a soft, luxurious feel, silken wipes are also economical, as they don't soak up expensive skin care products as regular cotton wipes do.
