Question of the Week: Do you use cotton pads at any point in your skincare routine? If yes, do you have a favorite brand or type?
Answer: Yes i use cotton pads (or sometimes balls) every morning and evening with toner (unless I’m wearing heavy makeup and need to use an oil pre-cleanse or heavier facial cleanser). I really don’t have a favorite brand. I just make sure they are 100 percent cotton – the synthetic ones are the worst! – and made with organic cotton.
Readers – Are cotton pads or balls a part of your daily beauty routine?

My Newest Addiction is Currently Craving: Laura gets lusty over Chanel and the Chanel Candeur Et Experience quad is no exception.
Also, if you’re looking for a more environmentally friendly option, the S.W. Basics Eco Cotton Rounds are amazing! You get 8 reusable cotton rounds and they come in this little net bag. So when you’re doing laundry you just put the used cotton rounds in the bag, throw it in the wash, then you have clean cotton rounds for the upcoming week! No waste whatsoever~
