Helps apply eye cream
The area around our eyes is highly sensitive. But while applying an eye cream we often tend to pull our skin which can lead to long-term damage and even wrinkles. But using a cotton swab to apply your eye cream will eliminate this tugging. Just dab the swab in the cream and apply it lightly until it is soaked.
