Make the most out of your cotton rounds/swispers

[Maysie]

The other day when I was putting toner on my swisper cotton round, it struck me how much I waste. These rounds are pretty big (and don't eat up as much of your product), which is why I like them more than regular cotton balls...but after I'd use it once, I was reluctant to use the other side, so as not to redistribute oil or dirt on my face. So, I've taken to cutting them in fourths. That's just big enough to my whole face, and the package lasts me four times as long. Anyway thought this might help someone...

I like swispers/cotton rounds better too, but to get rid of the problem your talking about I use half of one side on the left side of my face and the other half on the right. I then put the pad on back at the top of the stack, wet side up and at night I use the other side.

Very good idea! That IS very conscientious of you! I've never thought of doing that, but I really should.
