Bring lotion face cream back to life with right cotton pad

A small cotton pad can be said to be "square and promising". There are two kinds of common cosmetic cotton. One is pure cotton degrease, which is used to remove the lipid in cotton by chemical means, so that it has better water absorption, soft texture and thickness. The other is fiber cotton, which is made of plant fiber or paper fiber after special treatment. It feels smoother and thinner than pure degreased cotton, and has a better fit with the skin; The two materials are sometimes pressed together, and the thickness is controlled by embossing, but they can be easily torn to meet different needs.


Japanese skin care expert Zuobo Qianjin once said that cosmetic cotton is the bowl we feed our skin, which directly determines whether it can eat well, so it must be carefully selected and used to maximize its power! In this hot or sultry summer, the cotton pad can also be used to let the slightly thick skin care products return to work, and it can also help to moisturize while refreshing.


For a long time, the battle between the "hand pie" and the "cotton pie" in the application of skin care products has never been a winner, because each has its advantages and disadvantages, just like the two sides in the debate, the purpose is not to win, but to make the matter more clear. There are bacteria and temperature in our hands. The former will pollute the skin for the second time, while the latter will promote the skin temperature to rise, which will be more obvious in summer. Therefore, the "cotton pie" has the upper hand in summer.

At the same time, only cosmetic cotton can be applied evenly on some small corners, such as the nose wing, decree lines, and so on. The fingers appear too strong. At the same time, in the summer when oil is easy to come out, these areas need special attention. Some "handers" think that the cotton pad absorbs too much water or milk, so you are too subjective. Our skin has always been more absorbent (otherwise, how can skin care products be deeply nourished?), so the amount wiped away by fingers is never less than that left on the cotton pad.


When cosmetic cotton is used in toner, absorbent cotton is better. Because there is a large demand for toner, the water absorption of cosmetic cotton is the highest at this time, and too thin cosmetic cotton will leak away. The use of cosmetic cotton also has the effect of secondary cleaning. In addition to taking away the residue of cleaning products, the oil left in the nasal wing ditch can also be taken away, making the skin more refreshing and reducing the possibility of acne, blackhead and whitehead.

In order to enhance the moisturizing function of the skin, the use of cotton pad can help the nourishing ingredients in the toner or lotion penetrate into the pores of the skin, but there are few residues on the surface. The method is to wet the cotton pad with toner first, then slowly press it on the whole face, then gently pat it, and then turn it over and apply lotion with the same method on the other side (not only to save money, but also to reduce the absorption of lotion by cotton pad).


For more nourishing but thicker skin care products, such as face cream, cotton pad can take away some of the oil, reduce the sense of heaviness, and easily control the amount of each part. More importantly, it avoids the influence of finger temperature and bacteria on the skin. When using, you should first focus on the dry U area to nourish it in place, and then gently take the remaining part of the cotton pad with the T area that is easy to oil.
