How to apply lotion to cotton pads

Dip a cotton pad in an appropriate amount of lotion, then gently apply it to your facial skin from the inside out. Leave it on dry areas for a while to allow it to fully absorb the moisture. After the lotion is completely absorbed, take an appropriate amount of lotion on a cotton pad and gently wipe your facial skin in the same way. It is usually a waste to apply lotion directly with your hands. If you use cotton pads to apply and wipe, the skin will absorb it more evenly and there will be no waste.

Can cotton pads be used to apply cream?

Can't. Although the texture of cotton pads is relatively soft, the texture of facial cream is relatively thick. Using cotton pads to apply facial cream will cause excessive friction on the skin, causing the stratum corneum to become thinner, which can easily cause subsequent allergies. The best way to apply facial cream is to rub your hands together to warm them up first, then dip the cream into your hands and apply it to your face, massaging gently to promote absorption. At first, people used cotton pads just to remove makeup better. Pouring makeup remover on cotton pads and wiping facial makeup can achieve a good makeup removal effect without causing too much pressure on the skin. But later people have developed other uses for cotton pads, such as using them to apply toner or lotion, or using them for wet compresses.
