Can I just use my hands to remove makeup?

We all know that women have to put on makeup when they go out. Makeup not only makes people's facial features look more three-dimensional and beautiful, satisfying people's inner love of beauty, but it is also a manifestation of respect for others. There are many categories of cosmetics, and different products have different effects. But leaving makeup on the face for too long is not good for the skin, so people often need to remove makeup. You need to use makeup remover cotton when removing makeup. So can I just use my hands to remove makeup?

It is best to use cotton pads when using makeup remover.

Some people are used to pouring makeup remover directly on their hands and then patting it on their face. If their hands are not clean, patting it on their face will cause the bacteria and dirt on their hands to enter the skin, causing secondary pollution. Not only will the makeup remover fail to remove makeup, but an extra layer of dirt will be on the skin, which will make pores more likely to be clogged and the stratum corneum thicker. If this continues for a long time, it will accelerate skin aging and make the skin tone look uneven. Therefore, the best way to use it is to pour the makeup remover onto a cotton pad and gently wipe the skin to remove the makeup.

There are many fine lines and uneven areas on the surface of human skin, such as on both sides of the nose, around the ears, corners of the mouth, hairline, etc. It is difficult to clean these delicate areas by simply applying makeup remover with your hands. However, using cotton pads can take into account all areas that need makeup removal and can remove makeup more thoroughly.

When using cotton pads to remove makeup, you should pay attention to the fact that removing makeup is different from exfoliating. When using cotton pads to remove makeup, the technique should not be too heavy or too light. Only moderate wiping force can effectively remove makeup products. If the force is too light, the cosmetic ingredients cannot be wiped clean. If the force is too heavy, the skin will be pulled, and the skin's elastin will easily break, causing the skin to become loose.

Makeup remover contains a large number of surfactant molecules, which can make oil and water mix perfectly, and cotton pads are highly hydrophilic and can effectively dissolve the ingredients in makeup. When makeup remover comes into contact with cotton pads, they will stick firmly to the surface with all the grease-clearing tails facing outwards. When you wipe the skin with cotton pads, the lipophilic end of the tail will grab the makeup and oil, and after wiping back and forth, the makeup on the face will be removed cleanly.
