Knowledge about cosmetic cotton

How much do you know about cosmetic cotton? In fact, not all cosmetic cotton pads have the same effect. The effect of different materials and shapes of cosmetic cotton is different. You should use the cotton pad correctly to give full play to its best effect. Let's learn about the cotton pad!


Cosmetic cotton is an indispensable multi-purpose product in the skin care sector. There are many kinds of cosmetic cotton on the market, with different shapes. In fact, the characteristics of different types of cosmetic cotton are different, and the scope of use is also different. Dear readers, do you still know a little about cotton pads?


Cosmetic cotton is generally divided into two categories: absorbent cotton and non-woven fabric


1. Skimmed cotton cosmetic cotton: It is thick and soft to touch. It needs more when applied with makeup water. It has the phenomenon of desquamation. Its water absorption is weak, but it is superior to the soft texture. It is suitable for gently wiping cutin and applying.


2. Non woven cosmetic cotton: relatively thin, thick touch, but strong water absorption.



According to the shape, it can be divided into three types: side blank holder, non blank holder and full edging.


1. Makeup cotton with side edge pressing: suitable for makeup lotion and thinner lotion. The edge pressing design can prevent the deep water and ensure that every drop of skin care ingredients are absorbed by the skin.


2. Makeup cotton without edge pressing: It is more suitable for making simple facial mask, which is generally 4-5mm thick. The thicker material can easily peel the cotton into a thinner shape, ensuring that water is absorbed by the skin without spilling.


3. Fully hemmed cosmetic cotton: It is convenient for edge pressing and retains the thickness of non hemmed cosmetic cotton. However, the technical requirements for the outer layer of cotton paper are particularly high, so it is necessary to ensure that there is no fuzzing and wrinkle.

Different materials have different effects


As we all know, the most common and best way to use cotton pad is to use it to pat make-up water. But in fact, the cotton pads made of different materials have different uses.


The hard and rough cotton pad is used to remove makeup, which will hurt the skin, and the texture that is not easy to absorb water is difficult to remove makeup completely. However, the advantage is that it is not easy to remove the cotton wool, and the rough surface can also properly remove the facial keratin. Only mm with particularly sensitive skin should be used with caution. In addition, it is also suitable for washing off some muddy or creamy facial mask, or removing nail polish.


For mm with sensitive skin, it is safer to use pure cotton cosmetic cotton (100% cotton will be marked on the package). There are also several types of cotton cosmetic cotton. One is that there is a layer of woven fabric on the outside, with cotton wadding stuffed inside, and there is a make-up cotton beside the edge. Because it is soft enough, it is also most suitable for use when removing makeup, in addition to applying make-up water. Another kind of cotton pad is directly pressed with cotton, which cannot be used to remove makeup and is not suitable for applying makeup water. However, this kind of natural cotton pad, which is easy to lose cotton lint, is very useful. When using, first spray some cheap ocean deep water on the cotton pad. Although it is cheap, it also contains many minerals, which can keep the skin moist. Then pour the water on the wet cotton pad. It is recommended that the selected water be viscous. After the cotton pad is full of nutrition, tear it off layer by layer, which can be divided into 4~6 pieces, and then paste them on different parts one by one, becoming a simple and practical facial mask.


Three Reasons to Use Cosmetic Cotton


Reason 1: easy to control the amount of make-up water


Beauty experts tell us that when the make-up water touches the palm, the hand skin will first absorb the nutrient content of the make-up water. Therefore, using the cotton pad can better control the make-up water and make it work better on the face.


Reason 2: The wiping action can take away the old and waste cells on the skin surface, with a slight effect of exfoliation. When using toner, especially when using toner with cleaning and shrinking pores in summer, the wiping effect of cotton pad can be fully exerted.


Reason 3: It can be wiped evenly, because there are furrows and bumps on the skin surface, and cosmetic cotton can fill the bumps.
