Tissue off of rinse off?

Hello everyone! I’ve noticed that many cleansers (especially cleansing milks) ask you to remove the cleanser with a tissue or a cotton pad. I rinse it off anyway. Which approach is better for your skin?

I don’t think one method is better than the other. Just depends on what you like best. 

At the sink, I use soaking wet Makeup Eraser towels to rinse off all cleansers. I guess that’s kind of a hybrid of rinse and wipe. 🙂 I splash less water outside the sink that way. And since I stopped using my microfiber cloths as intended (I never felt they truly removed enough makeup on their own), this is how I’ve repurposed them. Their thick plush pile is much softer and gentler than a terry cloth washcloth, so they’re perfect (for me) as cleanser rinse aids.

I prefer to tissue off milk cleansers or coconut oil and rinse for cleansing oils and balms. Can't really explain why hahahaha it just feels like makeup comes off better with tissue for the first 2 and water works best for the latter.

@nri00 It depends on your preference. Most cream cleansers can be used either way. I prefer rinsing it off as well.
