It may be an idea to drop it.
TOWEL ON THE FACE: Not only can it be a bacterial bomb, but too much drying can prevent your skin from absorbing various products well.
Pto my bathroom there are several towels. Towels for both body and face. I often use the towel on my face for several days in a row, and lately, I have thought that it could not possibly be good. But there are supposedly several reasons why you should stop wiping yourself with a towel on your face!
You should not rub yourself dry with a towel, but rather pat lightly so that your face is a little moist after you have cleansed your skin, says Rolah O. Lønning, who is a cosmetic doctor at the BeWell clinic and has written the book "Fresh skin".
If you do this, most serums and creams will be absorbed more efficiently into the skin, according to Lønning. She also adds that towels that you use to dry your hands and other body parts can carry bacteria and infection to your face, so you should have a separate towel for your face.
A bacterial bomb
The beauty website Beauticate mentions, as cosmetic doctor Lønning, that the skin acts like a sponge, and absorbs product better when the face is moist. However, that is not the only reason why you may want to leave the towel on.
Towels can be a germ bomb!
Just see how long you can hold a white towel white! It only takes a couple of days, then there is a lot of dirt in it, says beauty expert Tone Skip behind the blog Toneskipa.no.
Your towel contains product residues that you have not been able to wash away from both cream and make-up.
Does not need to be washed as often
Beauty expert Skip mentions that you can see on your white towel how much is left there in just a few days. This is something Malin Skaar, head of Consumer Services at Orkla, agrees with.That's how Katrine (41) got smoother skin
How often it should be washed depends on how often it is used and whether there is a lot of product residue/soap on the towel. Here you just have to look at how it looks, feels, and smells.
Skaar points out that make-up and hygiene products are difficult to wash off and can often leave a gray stain. A stain that at times can be impossible to get rid of! Still, there is a way towel should be washed:
Towels should be washed at least 60 degrees to be hygienically clean.
So the answer is: If you do not change the towel so often, and you see that you have problems with impurities, the answer may be in your towel.
