If you think face wipes only belong on long-haul flights you are sorely mistaken. With the mind-blowing range of options on the market there is literally a towelette for every conceivable situation. Stress management? Try an aromatherapy towelette. Post-gym errands? The deodorant version comes in handy. Outrageously stubborn eye-makeup? You guessed it. Read on for 9 of our favorite finds and stash a few in the glove compartment before your next road trip.

Deodorant

Imagine hour seven of an outdoor music festival. Enough said.

Exfoliating

A long weekend of camping can call for more than a splash of water to remove grime. Reach for these exfoliating cloths when you need a deeper clean.

Self-Tanning

Swipe one of these individual sachets over your neck and décolletage before bed and wake up with a sunkissed glow.

Blemish Fighting

Suffering from problematic skin? Try one of these handy wipes infused with tomato (to reduce sebum production) and salicylic acid to unclog pores. They also protect your skin against the elements to reduce inflammation.

Insect-Repellent

An outdoor wedding can be breathtaking and...rife with bugs. Rather than dousing guests in sticky spray, include a few of these sachets in welcome baskets to ensure they aren't distracted by flying critters during the ceremony.

Skin-Brightening

Perform an at-home peel with no recovery time by swiping on one of these anti-aging soaked sachets that reduce pore size and wrinkles.

Sunscreen

Instant, even SPF coverage (move over, spray can).

Waterproof Makeup Remover

Nothing is more frustrating than a waterproof mascara that refuses to come off. These nifty wipes will remove all traces without a full bar of soap and 15 minutes at the sink.

De-Stress

Next time you feel your blood pressure climb, reach for an aromatherapy towelette to soothe your spirit and your skin with essential oils.
