[@simoneconde5564]

What annoys the shit out of me is when people say this "eliminated their acne." NO. IT. DID. NOT.

[@tanyas6643]

I use a fresh washcloth sized “makeup eraser” type microfiber towel to dry my face, every morning and evening. (They’re a dupe, in a multi pack, from Amazon.) I also use similar mini pads to apply eye makeup remover, micellar water or toners. (I wash the eye makeup off the cloth, with a bit of hand soap, hang to dry and then toss into my hamper, to machine wash, the end of the week. That gets most of the makeup off the pads and avoids any makeup getting on other stuff in the washer.) There really is no need to buy disposable cloths and pads…

Years ago, I starting buying 12" square white cotton washcloths. I have over one hundred of them in constant rotation so I can always use a fresh towel to pat dry my face and then wipe down the counter. I also use the towels to remove the occasional mask or stubborn makeup. Because I have so many, I can dedicate a single load of laundry to washing them in hot water. If one gets too dingy or rough, I relegate it to my stock of house cleaning rags. I like having a fresh "towel" for my face that hasn't used throughout the day for drying hands.

[@jackdaw99]

I do the same, it feels way more sustainable. I started buying soft wash cloths when I had my first baby 14 years ago (baby wipes didn’t feel right) and then I just bought some more and kept going. They hold up well.

[@coolcpa3321]

@@21972012145525 I think you misunderstood. Each time a wash my face, I dry it with a clean, fresh cloth. I then use the same towel to dab/wipe any water than might have splashed around the sink. That towel is then dropped in a hamper and not used again until it has been washed. If a towel gets a stain from cosmetics (mascara, etc.), then it is relegated to the household rag bag. I don't scrub my face with a cloth and my professional cleaners take care of the weekly scrubbing/cleaning in my house.

I have a similar routine as you after shower .. turn water off, tie hair up, use an oil on my wet skin while I’m STILL in the shower .. then between opening the shower door, using that oil on my skin and stuff I feel like I need to wash my hands again before moisturizing my face ?? At this point my face is already dry and I’ve heard it’s not good to let it air dry completely unless you’re moisturizing while still damp … thoughts ?

These have been useful to me while traveling or whenever I don't feel like doing laundry. My regular towel works fine, it goes into the hamper after each use.

Thank God I'm not alone 😅 i personally too prefer to let my body air dry by itself avoid using or over using bath towels every day 😊. It also works for me because i let the majority of the water fall into the bathtub and when i step outside onto the bath mat the air does its work plus it's the soak and smear technique which is awesome for me at least (i can tolerate cold pretty well 😅). I do wash my hair towel regularly i do that❤. Since silk is expensive i wash my linens (which are cotton) at least twice a week. Tik tok these days they really come up with everything you can or can't imagine 😂 in order to sell and have views. Thank you Doctor Andrea for pinpointing this one out 🙏😇.
