Never use your body towel to clean your face, here is why!

Using your body towel to clean your face may not be the best idea for several reasons. Here are five reasons why you shouldn’t use your body towel to clean your face:

Acne: Drying your face with the same towel you use to dry your body could be damaging your skin and cause acne.

Bacteria: The towel you use to dry your body may harbor bacteria that are not visible to the naked eye. This can cause swollen face.

Roughness: Standard terry-cloth towels are rather rough on the skin and can cause friction because the terry cloth acts as an abrasive.

Product absorption: Your skin absorbs products better when it is damp, and using a towel to dry your face can remove too much moisture from your skin, making it harder for your skin to absorb products.

Hygiene: Face towels encounter numerous chemicals and bacteria, and using the same towel for your body and face can transfer bacteria from one part of your body to another.

To avoid these issues, it is recommended to use a separate towel for your face and body. Face towels are smaller and gentler on the skin, and they should be changed or cleaned every couple of days.
