Good Option for the Environment
I like the reusable aspect of these. Regular cotton pads are so wasteful! So this is a relatively inexpensive alternative.<br /><br />For applying toner, these are nice and I find that I can get two uses out of one pad by using one side in the morning and one side at night, which prolongs the time between washes. Awesome! I would recommend washing first because they sometimes left little white fibers all over my face. And sometimes liquids don't immediately sink into the fabric so you kinda have to work it in so it doesn't just roll off lol.<br /><br />However, this loses stars for me because the makeup doesn't wash out super well from the dark pads. I know that they're "technically" clean when they come out the wash, but seeing the stains still there is kind of a bummer. They also don't work super well to remove makeup. I find that I have to do a bit more tugging and rubbing on my skin than I would if I was just removing my makeup with an oil based cleanser and my hands. Might work a little better for others using different types of makeup removers. Going forward, I'll probably just use them all for toners :)
