Eco Nursing Pads, $13.90 for 10
OK, so it may not be their intended use, but these are a favorite among beauty insiders for their impressively effective makeup removing abilities. One side is a little thicker, ideal for creamy or oil-based cleansers; the other is slightly thinner and perfect to use with micellar water. As you'd expect (given their original purpose), the organic bamboo material is extra soft. And perhaps best of all, you can get them on Amazon Prime.

We love the larger size of this ultra-soft cloth (seven inches by 16 inches, to be exact). Just add a little H2O and gently wipe away any and every last trace of makeup. It's ideal not only for everyday makeup but also heavy-duty stuff, think airbrushed foundation or Halloween makeup. (Pro tip: Throw it in the wash before you first use it, so that it doesn't leave behind any fuzzies.)

Muslin cleansing cloths have somewhat of a cult-like following, but they can often be just a little too scratchy for sensitive skin. That's why we love this dual-sided option. The muslin is perfect for both makeup removal and/or mild exfoliation, while the reverse flannel side is extra soft and perfect for easily-irritated skin or to use around your eyes.

S.W. Basics Eco Cotton Rounds, $22.49 for 8
Made of unbleached, organic cotton, these rounds are basically just like the disposable ones...minus the disposable part. We also love that they come in a convenient mesh wash bag, ideal for helping ensure they don't get lost amongst your other laundry. Plus, if you regularly use two to three cotton balls per day, switching to these can save about $50 of disposable cotton from the landfill each year.
