THE Dermatologists warn against common habit that can harm skin health: use the body towel to dry your face. This practice can transfer bacteria, dead cells and leftover products to sensitive facial skin, increasing the risk of acne, blackheads and irritation.
The problem is compounded by the fact that these towels spend most of their time in the bathroom, a humid environment favoring the proliferation of fungi and bacteria. cchange towels only once or twice a week This also contributes to the accumulation of microorganisms.
The solution is use smaller, cleaner towels, changing them after each use. Soft fabrics such as 100% cotton, microfiber or bamboo fibers are hypoallergenic and safe for the skin. The ideal is to dry your face gentlyby tapping instead of rubbing.
Another practical option is disposable tissueswhich avoids transmission of bacteria. This helps keep the skin free of impurities, thereby minimizing risk of clogged pores and dermatitis.
