Here’s a way to keep warm wipes and lotion on hand in the winter.  I use a combination of face wipes and cold cream in the winter to take off my makeup.  Yes, cold cream.  My after-sixty skin is so dry and nothing beats cold cream in the winter when my face feels like it will just crack off. But, the wipes were always so cold and I would dread touching my face with them.  So, I got a baby wipes warmer.  Problem solved.  Why should babies be the only ones to enjoy warm wipes?

Then I had an idea.  My body cream in the morning is too cold to put on, so I hardly ever use it in the winter, even though I love the smell and the way it makes my skin feel.  So, I set it on top of the wipes warmer. Nothing gets hot, just enough warmth to take the edge off.  OK, so, if the body lotion on top of the warmer was a hit, why not put the cold cream on top as well.  So, I did.

I remember hearing Joan Rivers once say that she threw her body lotion tube into the bathwater when she was bathing and it was nice and warm when she put it on, so maybe that was in the back of my mind when I tried my “cleansing station”.  I also pretend that the wipes warmer is smiling at me when I walk in and I say hello to it (doesn’t it look like it is smiling in the photo.  And isn’t it pitiful that I say hello to it?

Give this a try.  The warmer was about $17 from Target, but you can get them anywhere.  I even use the wipes to clean up my bathroom counter quickly in the morning and I don’t have the shock of a cold cloth in my hand.  It makes a big difference.
