How to clean cosmetic cotton

Cosmetic cotton pads have many uses, the biggest of which is removing makeup. Together with makeup remover, they can clean the makeup on your face very cleanly. Cosmetic cotton pads can be used twice, but after the first use, they will be stained with a lot of cosmetics, which is very troublesome to clean. Many people are not clear about the specific method. So, how do you clean cotton pads? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. First, pour an appropriate amount of cleaning product directly onto the sponge that has been soaked in water and let the sponge produce foam.

2. Pay attention to the technique of repeatedly pinching and releasing the sponge with your palms in order to wash away all the dirt in the sponge and the foundation that has seeped in. The reason why you cannot rub it is that the elasticity of the sponge will decrease after being pulled, and it will cause flaking when applying makeup.

3. Rinse off the cleaning product with plenty of water, making sure not to leave any residue.

4. Use multiple paper towels or clean, absorbent towels to press and squeeze out the water in the sponge. Finally, place it in a cool, ventilated place to dry naturally.

Tips: It is best to use disposable powder puffs, sponges, and eye shadow sticks that are commonly used when applying eye shadow. These tools have a strong ability to absorb cosmetics and are most likely to get dirty. Many beauty stores sell disposable sponges and eye shadow sticks, which are cheap and safe to use, and there is no need to worry about the breeding of bacteria.

How to use cotton pads:

1. Apply lotion

Applying lotion with a cotton pad can prevent excess oil from sitting on the surface of the skin and clogging the pores. Before applying, pour the lotion on a cotton pad and fold it in half to blend the lotion and cotton pad. Then, apply the sunscreen to the skin in the same way as cleansing water. Finally, don't forget to apply it on the neck from bottom to top.

2. Water mask

Soak the cotton pad fully with alcohol-free skin softener, then tear it into thin pieces according to the texture of the cotton wool, apply it on the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, and remove it after 3-5 minutes. The effect is still very good.

3. Intensive light spots

Take a slightly larger amount of toner to soak a cotton pad, then apply the whitening essence on the cotton pad and apply it to the areas with pigmentation problems on the face. This can help accelerate the penetration of the spot-lightening ingredients in the whitening product and achieve an intensive spot-repairing effect.

4. Secondary cleaning

After cleansing, pour cleansing water onto a cotton pad and gently wipe along the skin texture and in the opposite direction of pore growth. Then, massage in circles on the forehead, chin, nose wings and other areas with thicker stratum corneum to help clean the pores.

5. Soft cuticle

Pour toner or high-performance water onto a cotton pad and gently rub it on the skin at a slightly faster frequency to promote moisture penetration into the skin, help soften the stratum corneum, and promote the penetration of subsequent skin care products. After patting, use the other side of the cotton pad to press the skin for a few seconds to apply pressure to the skin so that the lotion can moisturize the skin base.
