Make-up remover pads and how they work
A long day is drawing to a close and you want to quickly remove your make-up? Then you need make-up removal pads! These have become particularly well-known for their ability to remove make-up residue and cleanse the pores without the need for any additional products.
In practical terms, this means that all you need to remove your make-up is a make-up removal pad and a little water. It doesn’t matter whether you use warm or cold water. They are suitable for all skin types and are a real insider tip, especially for those with sensitive skin.
As a replacement for cotton wool pads, the make-up remover pads from VITALOVE are certainly impressive: they’re just as handy and practical, soft on the skin and can be reused up to 300 times!
Use in your make-up removal routine
As a replacement for cotton wool pads, make-up removal pads can be an integral part of your make-up removal routine. If you want to remove your make-up in the evening and cleanse your skin as thoroughly as possible to remove any residue, there are several ways to achieve the desired result. However, this may vary depending on how heavy your make-up is.
In some cases, it’s enough simply to dampen the make-up removal pad and wipe it over your face in circular motions. If any make-up residue remains after this step, a cleansing gel can also be used to remove it from the face. However, this is rarely necessary, as the make-up removal pads are capable of removing even heavier make-up.
After cleansing the face, the next step is skincare, which should be tailored to your individual skin type. Once the make-up removal routine is complete, the pad is placed in the washing machine. It is important to wash the pads after every use and not to reuse them, as bacteria can build up in them.
Zero Waste with Make-up Removal Pads
On average, a woman uses around three to four cotton pads or make-up wipes every day. This may sound harmless at first, but over the course of a year it adds up to a considerable amount, as on average every woman uses up to 1,500 cotton pads per year. In the spirit of zero waste, the washable make-up removal pads from VITALOVE are ideal for avoiding unnecessary waste
As sustainability plays a major role in the modern world, these make-up removal pads are reusable and therefore the ideal choice for a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. This significantly reduces the amount of waste produced each day. When purchasing them, however, you should pay attention to the materials used in their manufacture.
Not only organic cotton, but also materials such as viscose, polyester or bamboo fibre may be used in their manufacture. Make-up removal pads made from cotton are particularly environmentally friendly, as viscose and polyester are not natural materials and do not absorb liquid well. Cotton, on the other hand, is chemical-free, soft and gentle on the skin.
The environmental footprint speaks for itself
Although washable make-up removal pads are usually more expensive than conventional cotton wool pads, they can be used much more frequently, meaning that the higher price pays for itself through their reusability.
What’s more, the environmental footprint is impressive: whilst washing the make-up removal pads does use water and energy, they are only manufactured once. The production of cotton wool pads consumes a large amount of water, meaning that make-up removal pads are significantly more environmentally friendly by comparison.
Further advantages
As well as being reusable, these make-up removal pads are significantly softer and fluffier than conventional cotton pads, making them pleasantly gentle on the skin. They’re also lint-free, meaning they leave no annoying residue behind, making them ideal for cleansing the face.
But they’re not just for the face – you can also use them to cleanse the skin on your neck or anywhere else on your body. It doesn’t matter whether you’re just wearing lipstick or even waterproof mascara; everything comes off effortlessly. Another advantage is that the pads are very light and small, so they can reach every area with precision.
This also means they take up very little space, making them the ideal companion for sport or when travelling. After use, simply pop the make-up removal pads in the washing machine. On average, you can wash the pads around 200 to 300 times before you need to replace them. The good news is that they remain just as effective even after frequent washing!
