What are the ways to use cosmetic cotton pads?

Many female friends choose to remove makeup directly with their hands, but some people also use cotton pads to remove makeup. Some people may think it is unnecessary, some people have heard of it and bought it, but don’t know how to use it. So today, the editor will tell you how to use cotton pads.

Use a cotton pad to apply a proper amount of toner, and gently apply it to the entire face from the inside out. You can stay on dry areas for a while to allow it to be fully absorbed. Most toners are composed of water and moisturizers, which can not only replenish moisture and natural moisturizing factors for the skin's stratum corneum, but also enhance the absorption effect of subsequent lotions and creams. Therefore, you can wipe the area around the eyes and lips. However, toners with exfoliating function and containing alcohol should be avoided because they are more irritating.

Use an exfoliating solution after cleansing in the morning and evening. Press 2 to 3 times of exfoliating solution onto a cotton pad. After it penetrates, gently wipe the entire face from the center of the face outwards and from bottom to top. Use small-area rotating massage to promote the shedding of dead skin cells. For areas with thicker skin cells such as the wings of the nose and chin, use the middle finger to strengthen the massage.

The correct wiping direction is to start from the center of the face and wipe from bottom to top. This direction aims to improve skin firmness, especially the neck which is most easily overlooked, to prevent sagging. Beauty guru Niu Er also provides another wiping direction. Because the pores open slightly downward, you can wipe from top to bottom first to help close the pores, and finally wipe again from bottom to top.

The above is the method of using cosmetic cotton pads. If you use cosmetic cotton pads to remove makeup, it will be much cleaner than your hands. Hands are most likely to come into contact with bacteria, so it is safer to choose cosmetic cotton pads when removing makeup.
