I will Never Use Normal Cotton Pads Again After Trying Those Products

When it comes to eye makeup removal, I'm a cotton pads and micellar water type of woman. I simply can not get on with removing eyeshadow and mascara with oil: for the rest of my head I really like it, but around the eyes it is a no from me. That was until I realised just how many cotton pads I had been getting through every week, and also the impact it was probably having on the environment. I knew there should be a more eco-friendly alternativeand it turns out, there's!

Reusable makeup remover pads and cloths could just change your beauty regimen permanently. They're more than just a flannel: they are typically made from a microfibre fabric that removed makeup with no necessity for a cleanser. You just swipe the damp cloth over your face, lightly rubbing away makeup, then toss it in the wash ready for your next use.

Even though these reuseable fabrics advise to just add water, that is sometimes not enough for me. I insert micellar water into a small area, press and hold onto my eye makeup then wipe off. Since the Magnitone Microfibre Cleansing Cloths are larger than the average cloth I can use this 4 or 5 times before popping at the washing machine. Should you prefer smaller pads, EcoPanda reusable cotton pads may be used once or twice (you don't wish to be smearing the days dirt back on your face, however it's double-sided) before throwing to the wash. It is available in a pack of three, which means you may become almost a week's worth of applications before needing to get the laundry basket out.

Whether you're a micellar water kind of person, or are still using makeup wipes (SOS), let's convince you reuseable cotton pads are the way ahead. You won't turn back once you try them. Read on to see our current favourites.
