2-in-1 Beauty Miracle Worker! Frais Towelettes

After a grueling hot yoga class last weekend, I was sore and sweaty. Last night's mascara had formed dark streaks and smudges down my face and my hair was a mess. All I wanted to do was to go home and take a shower! But just as I was driving out of the parking lot, my car stopped. Frantically, I tried pressing the gas pedal, but I was completely stuck - I couldn't even get the key out of the ignition. I looked down at the dashboard and realized my gas tank had run out! To make matters worse, I had stopped in the exact center of the tiny parking lot, blocking cars on either side of me from backing out.

In retrospect, I realize my mistake. (No, I don't mean forgetting to fill up my gas tank, although that could have helped, too!) I should have been carrying a Frais Towelette.

Frais, an Australian eco-beauty brand, developed their moisturizing towelettes to sooth dry skin while actually relieving facial tension, thanks to all-natural ingredients such as gingko biloba, Vitamin E, a chamomile extract, and shea butter.   In addition to revitalizing skin, they double as makeup remover. Unlike some products, the towelettes remove makeup without leaving a greasy or oily residue behind. Because they're alcohol-free, you can gently wipe them over your skin after waxing to freshen up.

For all you eco-friendly beauties, rest assured: Frais is certified by PETA as a "cruelty-free cosmetic producer." Their products are 100% vegan and the packaging is 100% recyclable.

Looking back on my parking lot fiasco, I wish I had had a Frais Towelette stashed in my purse! I could have wiped away my stress and dripping makeup and given my skin some much-needed TLC to calm down before dealing with my car trouble. Heed my advice, collegiettes™: consider purchasing a package of towelettes! You never know when you might need one.

Frais Towelettes can be purchased at fraislux.com, dermstore.com, and Henri Bendel.
