Review: Kaia Naturals Facial Cleansing Cloths

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Elaine
Normally I don’t like to use cleansing cloths.  I think they’re great for quick and easy removal of make up but I usually reserve them for travel or when I’m not wearing much and I just want to start with a clean face quickly.  I usually find them drying and I still have to use eye make up remover first.
I was sent Kaia Naturals Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths to test out. I had meant to try them out over the holidays but I always forgot as I already have a night time routine. The other day however I was so tired I just wanted to crash and I remembered that I had these so I grabbed them.

IMG_6008
My first thought was that they were small!  Each cloth is about 9.5×16 cm – much smaller than most facial cloths I’ve tried.
I have to admit though, I was quite impressed with how well these removed my make up! It obviously took a few wipes to get all make up off but eventually I was left with a clean face!
Not only was my face clean, but it wasn’t dry, it actually felt soft and smooth. Now remember I mentioned that I was just so tired I wanted to get to bed ASAP? I didn’t even put on any moisturizer but yet the next morning my skin still felt fresh, not dry and it wasn’t flaky in the areas that normally are.
Sorry, I can’t show you a before an after, I’m not comfortable going make up-less and I do want to keep readers and not scare anyone away LOL!  But I found this video on the company’s site and it shows many before and afters and also gives more product information.
The product claims to be a 4-in-1 product: Cleanser, toner, eye makeup remover and cleansing cloth.  It also claims to be gentle.  I have to agree with this, I have the tendency to always get mystery cuts on my hands that sting when I wash them but these cloths didn’t hurt at all!  I also love that they were designed in Canada and made in the United States.  They are also 100% biodegradable. 
They are available online and in retail locations in Canada and the US. 
Check out where to purchase them here.
They seem to be available at many retail locations so I’m definitely going to pick more of these up! I just might be a facial cloth convert!

What’s your face cleansing routine, do you use cleansing cloths?

    I heard about these kaia cleansing cloths from the owner of Consonant Body. He said that he gave singles as stock stuffers. I was totally intrigued. And now I just opened my Glymm box and there is a sample of it. I can’t wait to test it out because I am so lazy to wash my face and cleansing cloths are a god-send.

    Oh oops I was actually referring to the Olay cleansing system which is simliar to the Clarisonic. I like it so far though and will be posting a review on it soon. Come check out my blog! 🙂

    Oh no, really? It does have a smell but I wouldn’t describe it as perfumey but more fruity and slightly citrusy?

    Thanks for the review! Can you please tell me if this has a strong smell? Most of the wipes that I have used have this strong perfumy smell which gives me a bad bad headache!

    Yeah they always dry out my face and my skin is oily. Do the Olay ones dry you out?

    These are honestly so good, I’m not a fan of facial cloths in general but was really impressed with these!

    Ahh you’re right, they’re definitely more expensive than a cleanser! I would probably use these more for travel or just alternate these into my routine.

    I like cleansing cloths for when I am traveling but sometimes they dry out my face. I will need to give these a try! I have been using the Olay pro x cleansing system so far and love it! Thanks for the review!

    I haven’t tried these before but I do use a mask once a month and it acts like a cloth cleanse too, not sure of the brand because my aunt brought it back from Vietnam but it works OK.

    I’ve always been leery of how effective facial cleansing towelettes are! I think this would be a great product for an overnight flight 🙂

Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️ I truly love the Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️

I truly love these @milkmakeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints and wear at least one daily on some combo of eyes, lips, and cheeks. The color payoff is 🤯, the longevity is 😍. They’ve got vegan collagen and aloe to plump and soothe skin. 

For an easy, juicy burst of color this summer, grab yours at @sephoracanada! 🌊

Proud ☺️🌈 And loud, since I have the privi Proud ☺️🌈

And loud, since I have the privilege of being able to live my life openly, unlike so many of my 2SLGBTQIA+ peers. I’m a straight-passing cis white woman, so my queerness doesn’t threaten most people. 

So, with that advantage in mind, let me use this small platform to say to anyone who is listening:

Never forget that Pride started as a riot. 

That Pride is more than slapping a rainbow on something, jacking up the price, and saying “love is love” for four weeks out of the year. 

That true allyship involves action and accountability, 365. 

That trans women, two-spirit individuals, and queer folks of color are the heart and soul of our community. That they continue to show up, to fight, to love, and to lead while facing very real danger. That we owe so much to their courage. 

Never forget that queer folks have always been here. 

That you can’t erase us, ban us, or legislate us out of existence. 

That queerness is a part of nature. 

That it exists even when it’s no longer trendy or politically advantageous. 

That we notice and remember who speaks up and who is silent. 

That we contain multitudes. 

That we deserve safety, compassion, legal protections, love, joy, and a future - just like every other human. 

That not all of us are “out” and don’t need to be; that we will invite you in if and when we choose to, and if and when we feel safe to do so. 

That queer folks make the world better. 

And that, despite seemingly insurmountable odds, we’re going to be ok. 

Because resilience, creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness are fundamental parts of who we are. 

So we’re not going anywhere. Get on board.

Happy Pride!

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!
