Why do we need to use makeup removal cotton to remove makeup? Do we need to use makeup removal cotton to remove makeup?

Makeup removal can help us clean our skin and remove oil and impurities on the skin surface. We basically use cotton pads when using makeup removers, lotions and other products. Is it necessary to use cotton pads to remove makeup?

There are three reasons to use cotton pads.

First, the use of cosmetic cotton can control the amount of lotion used, and cosmetic cotton can effectively prevent the loss of nutrients caused by the contact between lotion and the skin on the hands.

Secondly, by wiping it on your face with a cotton pad, it can have a slight exfoliating effect.

Third, applying cosmetic cotton to the skin is more even and easier to absorb than applying it with hands.

1. When using makeup remover and eye and lip makeup remover, you must use makeup remover cotton. Soak the cotton with makeup remover and gently wipe it on your face until there is no color on the cotton (make sure to use enough makeup remover to minimize pulling the skin). When removing eye makeup, you need to apply the soaked cotton to your eyes, leave it on for about 30 seconds, and then gently wipe it.

2. After cleansing, pour toner on the cotton pad and gently wipe it in the direction of skin texture and pore growth. This can play a role in secondary cleansing and softening cuticles, which can help subsequent skin care products absorb better. This is also the method of secondary cleansing with toner that I mentioned earlier. I usually do secondary cleansing first and then moisturize.

3. It doesn’t mean that all lotions need to be applied with cotton pads. Generally, you can use cotton pads for those lotions with thinner texture, such as IPSA and Decorte. You can use cotton pads to take care of small places such as the nose and mouth. However, for thicker lotions like Clinique Butter, it is recommended to apply it with your hands, because it seems that cotton pads can’t absorb it.

4. When you want to moisturize and soothe, you will think of wet compress. When applying wet compress, use thick or tearable cotton pads, soak the cotton pads directly with toner, stick them on your face, and leave them on for three to five minutes.

5. Different types of cotton pads can be chosen for makeup removal and wet compress paper masks. For makeup removal, pressed-edge cotton pads are better, while for wet compresses, tearable ones are better.

There is no essential difference between the two. They are both made of absorbent cotton and non-woven fabric. Cosmetic cotton pads are small dry cotton pieces of 5 to 6 cm, while makeup remover cotton pads are divided into dry and wet types. There is basically no difference between dry makeup remover cotton pads and cosmetic cotton pads, and they can be used together. Wet makeup remover cotton pads contain makeup remover ingredients and are usually called makeup remover wipes.

Cosmetic cotton pads are the same as makeup remover cotton pads. When both are dry, they can be used with makeup remover products on the face. The main difference between the uses of cosmetic cotton pads and makeup remover cotton pads is that the makeup remover cotton pads can be used for both dry and wet purposes. Cosmetic cotton pads can be used for skin care and makeup removal. Skin care is generally used with lotion. During use, you can use lotion to wet the cosmetic cotton pads to wipe your face, or you can use the makeup remover cotton pads for wet compresses and directly use makeup remover products to remove makeup.

The usage of dry makeup remover cotton is the same as that of cosmetic cotton. It can also be used for skin care and makeup removal. The makeup remover cotton with makeup remover ingredients can only be used for makeup removal and does not need to be used with other makeup remover products. Compared with cosmetic cotton, cosmetic cotton is more cost-effective. It can handle skin care and makeup removal. No matter where you are, as long as you have cosmetic cotton, you can easily remove skin care and makeup.

Cosmetic cotton pads will expire, because they have a shelf life of about three years. Cosmetic cotton pads that have exceeded the shelf life will affect the use effect. The shelf life of unsealed cosmetic cotton pads will be greatly shortened, so the unsealed cosmetic cotton pads must be used up as soon as possible. In the unsealed case, the shelf life of cosmetic cotton pads is about three years, but once opened, the cosmetic cotton pads will be exposed to the air over a large area, and the moisture and bacteria in the air will accelerate the deterioration of the cosmetic cotton pads.

Because cotton pads are in direct contact with the skin, their ingredients are relatively natural, and the texture of cotton pads is relatively loose. They cannot be placed in the bathroom after opening. The air humidity in the bathroom is relatively high, so the cotton pads will become damp and accelerate the expiration of the cotton pads. The main function of cotton pads is to remove makeup, apply wet compresses, etc., and they are in direct contact with the skin. The facial skin is relatively sensitive. If contaminated cotton pads are used, it may cause facial skin allergies.

When buying cosmetic cotton pads, it is not recommended to buy too much at one time. Cosmetic cotton pads within the shelf life have an automatic antibacterial function. If the cosmetic cotton pads are expired, the automatic antibacterial function will be reduced, and the bacteria on the skin will be brought to the skin, which will increase the bacteria on the skin. Cosmetic cotton pads can be used for wet compresses. Expired cosmetic cotton pads will also reduce their water absorption and water storage capacity, which will affect the feeling of use.
