    Why should I use reusable makeup remover pads?

    They're gentle on your skin.  Cotton balls and rounds can be pretty harsh on your skin, especially delicate areas around your eyes. 

    Reusable pads are often made with soft fabrics like organic cotton that are gentle on your skin and won't irritate or cause any redness or irritation. They're also great for sensitive skin types!

    They save you money in the long run. While reusable pads may cost a bit more upfront, they'll actually save you money in the long run since you won't have to keep buying cotton balls and rounds each month. Plus, they'll last you for years!

    They help reduce waste.  By switching to reusable pads, you'll be doing your part to help reduce waste and lessen your impact on the environment. Plus, you can carry them in your cinched makeup bag and have them whenever you need them.

    Now that you are convinced, where do you start?
