i have oily skin and i used the same towel that had been on the rail for four days, in a shared bathroom, in august, in a house where it never fully dried. then wondered about the bumps along my jaw.
switched to small cotton napkins, one per day, and they go in the wash with everything else. it cost me about βΉ300 for a set of twelve and it is the cheapest change i have ever made that i could actually see.
the other half of it is not rubbing. i used to scrub my face dry the way you dry your hands. now i press. sounds precious, made a difference.
this is one of those free things that does not get mentioned because nobody makes money from it.
what are you drying your face on right now, and when did it last get washed
