Let's talk about towels. Not just any towels, but face towels. You might be thinking about what the big deal is. Isn’t a towel a towel? No! Every little detail matters when it concerns your skin, especially that tender one on your face.
What does a towel represent? It means comfort, luxury, and, most importantly, self-pampering. The era of towels being mere essentials has long gone. We invest so much time following a skincare regimen, visiting spas, and ensuring our skin stays hydrated and healthy.
Yet, many of us make the mistake of using the same bath towel on our faces. Let’s reconsider this habit. Let’s see why you need separate face towels and how they may improve your skin cleaning habits and overall well-being.
The Importance of Face Towels
A washcloth and a face towel are vital parts of any daily skincare routine. These small square towels, typically 13”x13”, are meant to keep your face clean and dry.
Unlike bath towels, these small ones are made specifically for use on soft facial skin. A different towel for your face ensures that no dirt or bacteria can be transferred from any other part of your body to your face.
Benefits of Using a Separate Face Towel
1) Hygiene and Cleanliness
Hygiene is not only about cleanliness but also disease prevention at the individual level. Our bath towels pick up dirt, dead skin cells, and bacteria from our bodies, which, if done on the same toweled-off area, may contaminate it with such impurities, leading to acne breakouts, among other problems. A dedicated fabric used for cleaning your facial surface will always keep it clean and prevent contaminants from coming into contact with it.
2) Protect Sensitive Facial Skin
The skin on your face is more sensitive than that found elsewhere in your body; this means that rougher materials used in bath towels can irritate or cause friction.
Soft face towels are made from fabrics such as 100% organic cotton, Egyptian cotton, and bamboo blends. These special kinds of towels have been used to keep skin intact by preventing bacteria and oils from spreading. For example, MyTrident's Nectorsoft Towel, 625 GSM, 6Pc Face Towel in Grey color offers a plush and gentle touch, perfect for facial use.
3) Maintain Skin Health
Using a separate face towel helps maintain your skin’s health by preventing the spread of bacteria and oils. Facial towels regularly come into contact with soaps, cleansers, make-up, or natural oils.
It will prevent these things from building up in your face towel, reducing the chances of you getting a breakout because your pores are clogged with dirt. To keep it fresh and efficient, wash your facial towel daily.
Choosing the Right Face Towel
When selecting a face towel, choosing one that is soft, absorbent, and quick-drying is crucial. MyTrident offers high-quality face towels that satisfy these requirements. Our Soft Comfort 6 Piece Face Towels, 500 GSM, Allure, are highly absorbent, soft, and dry quickly, making them perfect for skincare routines.
Factors to Consider
1) Material
What material is used to make this face towel determines both its performance and comfort. You may also want to go for towels that are made of Turkish or Egyptian cotton since they are known for being soft as well as having good water-absorbing properties, unlike other materials. Another good option would be bamboo-blend or microfiber ones due to their environmentally friendly qualities and high moisture absorption rates.
2) GSM (Grams per Square Meter)
GSM indicates the density and thickness of the towel. A higher GSM means the towel is thicker, absorbent, and softer. For face towels, an ideal GSM lies between 500 and 625, balancing smoothness and gentleness while enabling them to take in water faster. MyTrident’s Nectorsoft Towel, 625 GSM, ensures a luxurious feel while effectively drying your face.
3) Size and Texture
Ensure your face towel is appropriately sized for convenient use. The texture should be soft to avoid irritation. MyTrident’s face towels are designed to provide a gentle and comforting touch, making them perfect for daily use.
Proper Care for Your Face Towels
To maximize the benefits of your face towel, proper care is essential. Here are some tips:
1) Regular Washing
Wash your face towels at regular intervals to prevent bacterial and oily accumulation. Use a mild soap and avoid cloth softeners that may leave residues, reducing the towel’s ability to soak in water.
2) Proper Drying
Make sure that you dry your face towels well every time you use them. Wet towels are favorable environments for bacteria as well as mold. Hang them in a properly aerated place or expose them to direct sunlight so that they can be completely dried up.
3) Separate Storage
Store your face towels separately from your bath towels to maintain hygiene. Avoid hanging them in the bathroom, where they can become damp and contaminated. Instead, store these items in a spotless room with no humidity.
