What part of the body is typically used to apply cleanser?

Using a damp cloth or fingertips to apply cleanser is widely endorsed in skincare practices for several reasons. Fingertips allow for controlled application and the ability to gently massage the cleanser into the skin, promoting effective cleansing and helping to lift dirt and impurities. The use of a damp cloth can add an additional level of exfoliation and can help remove makeup more effectively compared to using just fingertips.

Moreover, a damp cloth can also provide a soothing and refreshing sensation during the cleansing process. This method facilitates better distribution of the product across the surface of the skin, maximizes efficacy, and can be adapted to different skin types and conditions.

While palms can also be used for application, they may not offer the same level of precision and massage benefits that fingertips provide. Cotton pads are generally used for toners or removing makeup rather than for applying cleansers, and the back of the hand is not a common area for applying cleanser, as it does not allow for effective application to the face or other parts of the body typically targeted in cleansing routines.
