Why I stopped using cotton pads

Why did I stop? The main reason: I felt like all the product, especially toner, was going to these pads rather than on my face.
So, how do I put the product on my face? When it comes to toner/essence, I simply put the product directly on my fingertips, rub it a little between my fingers, and smear it all over my face as well as tapping my face all over with my fingertips. This helps with skin absorption and really utilizing your product. *BONUS* When using your hands/fingers for moisturizers &toners, I rub the excess around my hands as well!
What's my second reason? I stopped using them because they aren't very good for the environment. Sure, they're made of cotton, but are they organic? are they biodegradable? will the whole thing REALLY break all the way down? why spend more money on organic cotton, when I can just use my eliminate all of that and use my beautiful hands instead.
Pretty short and simple. SO, with that said. Those two are the main reasons why I stopped using cotton pads. Maybe this will give you an idea of how save some money by NOT buying cotton pads, and help our environment.
