Can the wiping of cotton pad hurt the skin?

The wiping of cotton pad does have some hidden harm to the skin. Although the texture of cotton pad is very soft, it is composed of strips of fibrous tissue, and although our skin looks smooth on the surface, it is actually uneven inside. We often use a cotton pad to wipe the facial skin, and the friction between them will cause some damage to the stratum corneum.

The raw material of cotton pad is cotton or paper pulp, which is made into cotton pad through special pressing process, which is also the reason why cotton pad has soft characteristics. People first used cotton pads to remove makeup. A cotton pad with makeup remover can remove makeup well. Usually, when we remove makeup, we will wipe it back and forth with a cotton pad, mainly to prevent the makeup remover from getting dirty.

In recent years, people have developed some other uses of cotton pads, such as applying make-up water and lotion with cotton pads and removing makeup with cotton pads. Applying cosmetic water and emulsion with cotton pad can not only achieve the purpose of secondary cleaning, but also make skin care products fully contact with the skin to achieve the best absorption effect. Although hand-painting can't achieve the purpose of secondary cleaning, the absorption degree of skin is the same, so there is no need to emphasize the application of lotion and lotion with cotton pad.

Although the texture of cotton pad is soft enough, for our fragile and uneven skin, the friction caused by frequent use of cotton pad to wipe the skin is still very harmful to the stratum corneum. This kind of friction can be tolerated by people with thick cuticle, but if the cuticle is thin, people with sensitive skin will destroy the skin barrier if they bear this friction for a long time.
