Cotton pads and cosmetic pads are used in the daily routine of face cleansing, makeup removal and applying products such as micellar water, toner or facial lotion. Properly selected pads should be gentle on the skin, not fall apart during use and allow even product application without rough rubbing.

Within the Face cleansing category, cotton pads are a practical routine accessory because they help remove impurities, makeup and product residue from the skin. They can be used in the morning and evening, depending on the product applied and skin needs.

For skin prone to redness, stinging or irritation, it is important to use a well-soaked pad and avoid strong pressure. If redness often appears after cleansing, the guide How to reduce facial redness can be useful.

Who are cotton pads for?

How to choose cotton pads?

For daily makeup removal, cleansing and product application, Lotos Maxi square cosmetic pads 50+1 can be used, especially when a larger format and practical use in a cleansing routine are desired.

For day and night treatment, as well as product application in a care routine, Ceramide cosmetic pads can be considered, especially when simple and tidy product application is needed.

How to use cotton pads properly?

A cotton pad is soaked with micellar water, toner or another product, then gently wiped over the skin without strong pressure. When removing eye makeup, it is better to hold the pad briefly on the eyelid and then gently wipe, instead of rubbing strongly.

For each facial area, especially with heavier makeup, it is preferable to use a clean pad so impurities are not returned to the skin. After cleansing, rinse the face if needed or continue with gentle washing, then apply moisturizing care.

Cotton pads, redness and sensitive skin

With sensitive skin, not only the cleanser matters, but also the way it is applied. A dry or insufficiently soaked cotton pad can increase friction and contribute to redness, stinging or discomfort. That is why it is important to use enough product and gentle movements.

If redness, stinging, itching or tightness often appears after cleansing, the routine should be simplified and the products you use should be checked. Read more advice in the blog article How to reduce facial redness.

Pharmacist’s advice

Cotton pads may seem like a small detail in the routine, but with sensitive skin, the way they are used matters a lot. Avoid rough rubbing, use enough product on the pad and do not use the same pad for several areas if removing makeup or impurities. In case of persistent redness, stinging, itching, rosacea, eczema, acne or irritation that worsens, advice from a dermatologist or pharmacist is recommended.
