My Recent Savior: Burt's Bees Cucumber & Sage Facial Cleansing Towelettes

I just got back from a two week, life-changing trip to Israel with my mom and brother. We went to four cities (Tel Aviv, Netanya, Haifa and Jerusalem) and had such a wonderful, emotional experience. (More to come on our trip in a future post.) But I'm here to tell you one way that my life was changed on the trip -- I discovered the fabulousness that is Burt's Bees Facial Cucumber & Sage Facial Cleansing Towelettes.

I knew from my previous trip to Israel that a package of cleansing wipes was essential. Israel is beautiful, but it's also hot, sticky and sometimes muggy -- and there's just nothing like the refreshing feel of a cleansing wipe on your face and hands after a long, grueling day of sightseeing. During a trip to the drugstore before we left, I alighted on these ones by Burt's Bees and decided to give them a try.

These wipes are certainly refreshing and rejuvenating, thanks to the fact that they're formulated with extracts of cucumber and sage. The cloth doesn't irritate skin and somehow stays cool and wet the entire time you're using it (which is a nice change from some of the other wipes I've tried). While I didn't finish the pack (yet), I definitely made a dent in it throughout my 10-day trip! This is one purchase I'm sure I'll be making again and again going forward.
