I find I enjoy cleaning my face with pure cotton balls dipped in cucumber juice, and don't end up using water to cleanse my face. Does this seem ok?

Otherwise, I don't think I can clean off my makeup just using cucumber extract and water, I need the cotton ball to wipe it away, but I'm wondering if cotton can aggrivate the face? For example, I have no way of knowing if the cotton has residual pesticides on it or not!

Also, is it preferrable to just follow up with a low-mineral water rinse after the cucmber extract, or is there no major benefits to this?

if it has residual pesticides in it, they wount be absorbed into the skin because the cotton ball does not leave moist from the cotton ball on your skin, but sucks up the excess moist FROM the surface of the skin.
no, the cotton balls cannot aggravate acne

no need to; no benefits
