●Assistant makeup remover
Assisting makeup removal is an important role of cotton pads. Whether or not to use cotton pads depends on your skin condition. If your skin has a strong secretion of oil behind the stratum corneum, you can use a cotton pad as a small tool to assist in makeup removal.
If your stratum corneum is thin and your skin is dry, sensitive, and fragile, you cannot use cotton pads to assist in makeup removal. If you use professional makeup remover products for this type of skin, it can easily cause over-cleansing and aggravate skin problems.
If it is the cold season, you can use baby moisturizing oil, gently massage it with your hands, and then use facial cleanser to remove makeup. If it is a hot season, you can use cheap lotion, gently massage it with your hands, and then clean it with a mild cleansing product. This way you can completely remove makeup without over-cleansing your skin. It is generally not recommended to use pure vegetable oil to remove makeup, because there is no way for vegetable oil to remove some makeup.
●Assistant in applying lotion and lotion
If the lotion used has a secondary cleansing effect, using a cotton pad will improve the cleaning ability. Similarly, lotions and cotton pads with secondary cleansing capabilities are only suitable for skin with thicker stratum corneum and strong oil secretion. For other skin types, it can be used occasionally, but frequent long-term use is not recommended.
If the lotion and lotion do not have a secondary cleansing effect, and it is just to allow the lotion and lotion to better contact the skin and achieve better results, there is no need to use cotton pads. Using cotton pads has very limited effect on the product, but instead increases the risk of damaging the skin barrier. Unless the official instructions for use of this brand indicate that you must wipe it with a cotton pad.
● Wet compress
Wet compress with cotton pad will not cause physical friction with the skin and will not cause harm to the skin. It can be used on any skin, no need to worry.
Precautions for using cotton pads
When using cotton pads, special attention should be paid not to rub the skin vigorously or repeatedly. The movements should be as gentle as possible, mainly sticking and pressing. Within the scope that the economy allows, choose good quality, delicate and soft, and loose structure. Don’t just choose cheap, low-quality products because cotton pads are just auxiliary tools and you don’t pay attention to them.
Before using makeup remover cotton, first moisten it with water, wring it out, and then soak it in makeup remover product and secondary lotion to cleanse, which will cause less damage to the skin.
