Great Wipes at a Great Price!

Back in April, I reviewed a great new product called Action Wipes. I told you how they were perfect for a quick cleanup after my Saturday long runs with my running group before heading off for bagels and coffee with the gang.

A quote on the Action Wipes Website says, "Your face is not a baby's butt. Don't wipe it like one!" That kind of says it all. Action Wipes are sports wipes made specifically for adults. They're oversized moist towelettes that are durable, washable, alcohol free, and are safe for your face, sensitive skin, kids, and pets. You can even use them as a warm compress by heating them in the microwave or as a cold pack by placing them in the freezer or using them with ice.

If you recall, I was a little hesitant to use them because of my sensitive skin, but I gave them a try and they worked great! The wipe was big enough that I only needed one to clean my face, neck, and arms. The fragrance was nice. Didn't smell like a baby nor was it too perfumey. Best of all, my face didn't break out! It usually takes a few hours for a rash to develop if I'm going to have a reaction, but none occurred.

Another good thing about Action Wipes that a typical baby wipe can't do is be reused. Yep, you can through the dirty wipes in the wash and then reuse them later like a regular cleaning rag. The wipes are also good for soothing sunburn, insect bites and poison ivy, as well as cleaning scrapes, cuts, and road rash. I tried the "Big Wipes." My son recently took Action Wipes on a mission trip to Costa Rica. He said they were great for cleaning up in the humid climate.

Other great products such as natural bug repellant, slick lube, body wash, and body cream are featured on the Website.

Sweaty? Salty? Stinky?

If you're like me, after a run you're soaking wet, salt-crusted, and have a less-than-fresh aroma, even in the winter! One of my favorite weekly running routines is to meet my running group early every Saturday morning for a long run. Afterwards we head to Panera's for bagels and coffee to relax and socialize. I usually keep a change of clothes in the car, but even then I'm worried that my post-run condition will offend other patrons at the restaurant. Only consolation is that the rest of my group is in the same shape I am. That is until one of my Twitter friends, Martha Van (MarthaVan) shared with me a product she's created called ActionWipes.

You can even use them as a warm compress by heating them in the microwave or as a cold pack by placing them in the freezer or using them with ice. I was curious (as always) and asked her if I could try a pack. Because of my sensitive skin, I was a little skeptical about the wipes, but I gave them a try after last week's long run. Result? They worked great! The wipe was big enough that I only needed one to clean my face. The fragrance was nice. Didn't smell like a baby nor was it too perfumey. Best of all, I didn't break out.

You're in luck Panera's patrons of Greensboro! You'll have one less salty, smelly runner on Saturday mornings! Thanks Martha!
