What are cosmetic cotton pads used for?

There are many uses for cosmetic cotton, the most important of which is to remove makeup. Because of its soft texture, it is not easy to hurt the face when removing makeup.

Are cosmetic cotton pads disposable?

Yes. Cosmetic cotton pads are generally made from pressed cotton or pulp. A cotton pad is a disposable item and can be thrown away after one use. The most common and best way to use cosmetic cotton pads is to place the cotton pad on the middle finger and hold it between the index finger and ring finger. Most people use pure cotton cotton pads to apply toner, because pure cotton cotton pads are thinner and will not scratch the skin, and are much softer than synthetic fiber cotton pads.

Can cosmetic cotton pads be washed and reused?

Can't. Because every time you use a cotton pad, some bacteria will remain on the originally clean cotton pad. These bacteria may be on our face or in the air. No matter where they are, they will still be there when you use it for the second time, and will be brought to the face during use, thereby increasing skin bacteria. And repeated use of cotton pads can also cause clogged skin pores and skin allergies.

Material classification of cosmetic cotton

1. Cotton wool

This cotton pad is thicker and softer to the touch, so a larger amount is needed to apply lotion. It sometimes flakes and has weak water absorption.

2. Non-woven fabric

This type of cotton pad is relatively thin and feels rough, but because of its strong water absorption capacity, it requires less lotion.
