What if you think cotton wool can only be used to remove makeup? Then you look down on this little piece of cotton. What is the magic power of a piece of cotton? In fact, its use is endless. Let's dig it together!
How to choose a cotton pad?
In the selection of cosmetic cotton, mainly to its touch and elasticity as the primary factor to determine. It should feel soft and malleable. Because the cosmetic cotton is afraid of light, including the lighting in the store, it may damage its quality. Therefore, when purchasing the cotton pad, if it is displayed in a row, do not take the first one, but take the back of it, because the back cotton will not enjoy a lot of "sunbathing". The other most practical way to distinguish is to fold the cotton pad in half and rub it together. If you don't rub it a few times, you can't use it.
feel
For materials that do not stimulate the skin, natural cotton is the best material for direct contact with the skin, and the touch should be soft and comfortable; at the same time, avoid the addition of any chemical substances, such as fluorescent agents. The size should be convenient and correct. The way to take the cotton pad is to put the cotton pad on the middle finger with the index finger and ring finger. This action is the most convenient way to control the strength and direction. Each person's finger length is different, so it's good to choose suitable and convenient to take. The thickness should be moderate, do not use too thin cosmetic cotton for fear of wasting maintenance products.
The cotton pad used for skin care should be at least 3 cm thick. In this way, the amount of makeup water absorbed can be sufficient. It will not only make the skin feel very comfortable, but also will not cause irritation to the skin due to repeated friction. If the thickness of the cotton pad is insufficient, two or more pieces can be used together. The density should be enough, and the density of the cotton pad should be strong enough, so that it will not break when wiping the skin, causing the cotton wadding to fall or remain. Before use, you can use your hand to gently pull the cotton pad for testing. The cotton pad that is easily broken indicates that the density is not enough.
taste
Because it is directly in contact with facial skin, it is necessary to avoid the addition of any chemical substances, such as bleach, because the chemical residues in the cosmetic cotton may dissolve out after encountering moisture. Natural cotton should be a light cotton flavor, if there is any fragrance should stop using. If possible, you can do a small experiment at home. Light a piece of cotton pad with a lighter and blow it out immediately. The smell of the cosmetic cotton with chemical substance is pungent, and the high-quality cosmetic cotton should be the taste of natural plant ash.
Visual inspection
If the cotton pad is too thin, the amount of water absorbed is not enough when wiping, the skin will feel very uncomfortable. Excessive friction will cause irritation to the skin. When the thickness of the cotton pad is insufficient, the two pieces can be used together. It looks like a thin cotton pad, it may break when you wipe it. If you wipe the whole face with cotton wadding, it will be quite embarrassing. When choosing, can use hand to pull test gently, make-up cotton that pulls easily shows density is not enough.
