You can apply lotion by hand or with cotton pads, but cotton pads are more effective

We all know that it is more effective to apply toner with cotton pads, and it can also be used for secondary cleansing. So is it better to apply lotion with hands or cotton pads? Let’s take a look at the correct answer~

Apply lotion by hand or with cotton pad

The lotion can be applied with your hands or with a cotton pad. If you are delicate when applying the lotion and want to take care of both sides of the nose, you can also use your hands. Just pat and soothe the lotion with your hands after application to ensure it is fully absorbed, otherwise the lotion will float on the surface of the skin and cannot be fully absorbed. The effect of applying lotion with cotton pads is better than directly using hands , because the texture of cotton pads is finer, softer and more absorbent than the skin on hands. However, applying with cotton pads will waste some lotion and increase the usual amount used.

Use cotton pads when the lotion is oily

If the lotion you are using is oily or feels sticky, it is best to apply it with a cotton pad, because the cotton pad can absorb some of the oiliness and make your skin more refreshed. Because cotton pads can help release the lotion more evenly to every part of the skin, and when you wipe the skin with cotton pads, it is equivalent to massaging the skin. People who don’t like the sticky feeling of lotion can try it.

Advantages of applying lotion with cotton pads

Cosmetic cotton pads can help you control the amount of lotion you use, and at the same time, they can evenly distribute the lotion to the skin all over your face, even the dead corners of the nose. The wiping action can also remove a small amount of dead skin and old keratin on the skin surface, which has the effect of mild exfoliation.
