Benefits and usage of cotton pads
Cotton Pads
Cotton pads are made from raw cotton. They are compressed and shaped which makes them stronger for holding liquids and less likely to collapse or end up soggy. The compressed feature ensures that threads will not be left behind or unraveled. The usage of purified cotton pads for applications in cosmetics, sanitary, and medicine has gained traction over the years. Consumers seeking absorbent hygiene products made of natural materials are on the rise.
Precot manufactures and exports cotton pads that are superior in absorbency, softness, cleanliness, and hypoallergenic properties. The usage of cotton pads for face and makeup removal is designed for high performance and they are an essential part of daily skin routine.

Are cotton pads good for your face ?
The answer to the above question is YES. Cotton pads are the most hygienic method for even application of skin care products. They ensure clean application and easily wipes away residue. Some important things need to be looked for in a cotton pad such as using purified cotton to make the cotton pads, the absence of chemicals and fluorescent whitening agents, and the thickness and density.
Cotton pads Vs cotton balls
A cotton ball will also absorb liquid well, but most of the liquid will remain trapped inside it because of its shape. Using a round or square cotton pad will reduce the amount of cosmetic use by keeping more liquid on the surface. A cotton ball is preferred in for example nail polish removal or in specific uses that require more liquid.
