Picture this: You’ve just got home after a long, hard day and you're well into your evening skincare routine. You've washed your face (maybe even double cleansed) and instinctively, pat your skin dry with a towel. However, you could be doing more harm than good, according to beauty experts.
Towels made of normal fabric are not only rough on the skin but also a common ground where bacteria thrive. Germs, bacteria, fungus, dead skin cells, and oils can collect on the towel, which can become the culprit of skin infections, acne flares, and irritation. So before you start using your towel to dry your face, think twice.
On another note, standard cloth towels are rather rough on the skin. Using them can cause friction, resulting in rough patches and stripping away your skin of good natural oils it needs. So stop wiping your face with bacteria and swap out towels with this luxurious gentle facial sheet!
