Amazon has wristbands to make washing your face less messy — just $7 for three sets
More than 3,300 shoppers love these microfiber beauty must-haves: ‘No more dripping water up my arms.’
I don't mind getting a little wet when I'm washing my face — you have to splash a little bit of water to rinse off the makeup you've been wearing all day. It's the cost of having a clear complexion — but it doesn't have to be so expensive, figuratively speaking. Like with almost anything, Amazon can bring down that cost with this old doodad that's been taught new tricks: Crosize Microfiber Spa Wrist Bands. They can help make your beauty routine a lot less sloppy — and they're just $7 for three pairs.
Made with soft, super-absorbent microfiber, these wrist bands soak up water while you're washing face.
Yep, they're wristbands that ladies of a certain generation might remember from Jazzercise classes, only instead of stretchy terrycloth, Crosize Microfiber Spa Wrist Bands are made with super-absorbent microfiber. You wear them when you wash your face and instead of soaking up sweat you worked up doing scissor kicks, they block water from dribbling down to your elbows and onto the floor while you wash your face. How's that for a problem solver? So simple yet so effective.
What reviewers say 💬
More than 3,300 shoppers are enjoying their nighttime beauty routines a lot more.
Pros 👍
"No more drips up the sleeve!" gushed one five-star fan. "Fixes the most irritating aspect of washing up at bedtime: no more dripping water up my arms! Lovely colors and such soft fabric. Giving as gifts!"
"These are nice little wrist towels that prevent a wet sink from washing your face day and night," another rave reviewer wrote. "They are thick and absorb a lot of water. They were nice and clean and packaged well."
"Where have these been all my life?" wrote another savvy shopper. "I always wash my face before bed and have hated the water dripping down my forearms, off my elbows and onto the rug and floor. These soft absorbent little wrist towels have put a stop to all that. When I’m done I just hang them on a hook on the back of my bathroom door to dry and they are ready to use the next night."
Cons 👎
"Admittedly, they don't dry as quickly as I’d like," wrote one shopper. "But over the last few weeks I’ve saved so much in paper towel usage and washing multiple loads of wash clothes I don’t mind a bit of dampness. I just trade off the damp cuff with a second pair."
Another shopper agreed: "They absorb a lot of water, so much so they do not completely dry by the next use."
