Soak a cotton pad with makeup remover or toner — make sure it’s damp but not dripping. Next, to remove makeup: Gently press the pad onto your skin for a few seconds to break down makeup and impurities like eyeliner and mascara (This helps avoid tugging and damaging your skin) Wipe softly in outward motions across your face. Then, repeat with a fresh pad until no makeup residue remains. After that, continue with a cleanser if desired for a deeper clean. Finally, to apply toner: Gently pat or swipe it across your face, focusing on areas that need extra hydration. Finally, wait a few seconds for it to fully absorb before moving to the next step.
