Facial Wipes: Quickly Cleanse Your Face on the Go
You’re a man of action and always out and about. It’s only natural that you’re going to sweat and eventually see grease accumulating on your face — especially around your forehead and nose. But, what do you do when you notice this sweaty shine? If you leave it, you’ll not only look rough, but it could eventually lead to skin problems.
Skincare is the secret weapon of successful men. In fact, many of the guys you look up to have sneaky ways of ensuring they always look fresh and avoid issues. Keep reading to discover a shortcut for skincare used by those in the know. It’s easy and convenient no matter how much work, study, or going out you’re doing!
Skincare Is Essential in Any Situation
Like most active young men, you probably go out for all kinds of reasons: school, work, having fun outdoors with friends, or shopping with your family.
Over the years, you've developed your own routine of washing and moisturising your face at home before heading out. After all, it feels great to walk out the door looking and feeling clean and cool!
But, as we all know, maintaining this state is another matter altogether! In no time, your skin can return to feeling greasy and oily. Let's look at some of the most common skin issues that can come up while you're out and about.
Impurities on Your Skin — Sweat, Oil, Dirt
Let us focus on three main factors that stop your skin from looking its best.
Sweat on Your Face
Of course, in the sweltering heat, walking around or exercising will make your face and body sweat. This is normal — as temperatures rise, it becomes even more likely that you will sweat. Needless to say, wearing a mask only makes your discomfort worse.
Sweat helps your skin remove impurities, oil, dirt, and bacteria. However, if you allow these to settle on your skin, they may clog and cause acne. Your pores could become blocked and irritated. Therefore, it is essential to cleanse at the earliest opportunity.
Shine on Your Face Caused by Sebum
Have you ever felt self-conscious catching a glimpse of yourself with oily skin in the mirror just before you were about to meet your friends? What about when you showed up in a group photo on your friend’s IG where your forehead was glossy? It instantly dents your self-confidence and, to make matters worse, would be doubly awkward to ask for the photo to be deleted!
The highest concentrations of sebaceous glands are located in the face, scalp, and chest. The sebaceous glands secrete sebum. Excessive sebum production can lead to oily skin. People with oily skin may notice that their pores look more prominent, and their skin appears shiny or greasy. It goes without saying that this isn’t a good look and certainly makes it hard to maintain your cool in social situations. Because of the high oily content, just wiping it off with a handkerchief is not a practical solution.
Dirt on Your Face
The sweat and sebum from your face are not the only things to watch out for. Dust and sand from the road can also stain your skin and result in an unsightly appearance. In any case, you’ll be far from looking your best.
When you ride a motorcycle, work outdoors, or walk in heavy traffic areas, dirt and dust will stick to your skin. You’ll quickly lose that nice clean face that gives others the impression that you are healthy and confident. Furthermore, long-term exposure can leave a damaging effect on the skin if not cleaned regularly and adequately. It may eventually lead to skin problems such as acne and pimples.
But don’t fret — we’ve got a quick and easy solution coming to the rescue!

Changes in Brain Waves Confirm The Refreshing Effect of Facial Wipes
We have mentioned that refreshment is one of the benefits of facial wipes. You may be surprised to learn that, beyond our opinion, this claim has been supported by the results of a scientific experiment measuring brain waves.
We worked with Dentsu Science Jam to test the effects of GATSBY facial wipes on the brain waves of men aged 18 to 34. The results of electroencephalography (EEG) measurements, a technique that records the brain wave activity of subjects, showed that people’s “comfort levels” — as tested before and after the use of facial wipes increased significantly.
The findings were published in a Japanese article. Below is an overview of the study.
Objective
To verify that the quick and easy use of GATSBY Facial Papers at the office or school provides refreshment through electroencephalography (EEG) measurements.
Methods
- Verification: The survey was conducted using the "Kansei Analyzer," a simple evaluation kit that can analyse the sensitivity obtained from the electroencephalograph developed by Dentsu Science Jam, Inc.
- Measurement: To verify the degree of refreshment by GATSBY Facial Papers, "comfort level," "concentration level," and "stress level" were measured. The EEG index is based on an original algorithm which is the backbone of Professor Mitsukura’s research at Keio University, one of Japan’s leading academic institutions.
- Subjects: 21 males aged 18–34 (5 students, 16 adults).
- Testing: Peeling off the vinyl cover and covering the skin with a cloth. At least one foot was left uncovered before the action to avoid interference from external refreshment effects.
- Period: December 2019.
