Switched from cotton rounds to reusable bamboo pads for toner application

I used cotton rounds for like 3 years. Felt bad about the waste but thought it was no big deal. Then my coworker at the spa in Portland told me to try reusable bamboo pads. Picked up a pack of 14 for $10 off Amazon. Night and day difference. The bamboo holds way more product so I actually use less toner. Plus they feel softer on the skin. My acne redness went down after a month. Just gotta wash them in a mesh bag every few days. Anyone else made the switch and noticed their skin calmed down?

Oh man, I gotta disagree with you on this one @hill.troy. I actually tried those bamboo pads for a few weeks and they made my skin break out WORSE. Maybe it was the way I was washing them or something, but I swear they held onto bacteria no matter how much I scrubbed them. Cotton rounds are just simpler and I toss them without thinking. Plus the bamboo pads got all rough and scratchy after like 5 washes, felt like sandpaper on my face. I'm glad they worked for your redness but for my oily skin it was a total miss.

Wait, you're saying bamboo actually made your acne better? I always thought it was just a gimmick but that's pretty convincing.
