Wash your face with a bath towel

Many people like to wash their faces directly with a bath towel when taking a shower, thinking that this can wash their faces more thoroughly and remove dust on the face. In fact, this is a wrong idea. Washing the face with a bath towel can cause great harm to the skin. The skin on the face is different from other parts of the body and has a thinner texture. Using a bath towel can easily damage the stratum corneum and destroy the skin's protective layer.

1. Is it good to gently rub your face with a bath towel?

It is recommended not to rub your face with a bath towel. The skin on your face is sensitive and thin. Rubbing it lightly with a bath towel will scratch the skin and irritate the pores.

2. The harm of bath towel to skin

1. The hard and rough surface of the bath towel directly damages the skin, causing the keratinized layer of the epidermis to be rubbed excessively and fall off, thus weakening its protective effect.

2. When using a bath towel, if you do not pay attention to the hygiene of the bath towel, it may also spread some skin infectious diseases. Especially when sharing a bath towel with others, the chance of infection is greater.

3. Frequent use of bath towels can also make you prone to skin diseases such as boils and impetigo.

4. Patients with dry skin or skin diseases such as winter itch, ichthyosis, psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, etc. should not use nylon bath towels. Firstly, if you use a nylon bath towel to clean excessively, it will rub off a large number of protective keratin cells on the skin surface, and wash away the chemical protective film formed by sweat and sebum, causing the disease to worsen.

3. How to use the bath towel

1. Take a longer shower, preferably more than half an hour. Now soak the colored side of the washcloth in hot water and wring it out. You see, the bath towel is in the shape of a bag, put your hand in it. Then rub your skin. After rubbing your whole body, you will see mud strips after a while. You need to use a little force. If it doesn't hurt, use more force. If it hurts, use less force. This varies from person to person.

2. Taking a bath with a bath towel is actually a very good choice. This way, the skin will remove aging cuticles in time, and the skin will become tender and smooth. I have been using a bath towel to scrub my body since I was a child, so I don’t get pimples on my skin. It should be noted that you should not wash your hair or body with shower gel before scrubbing your body. Just rush straight ahead.

3. Wash your body with shower gel first (it is best to rinse off the mud first). Don't use bath salts, they will sting. Rinse the shower gel thoroughly until your body feels astringent. shampoo. Wash your face last. After your whole body feels dry, you can wipe it dry. Remember to apply some lotion on your body after drying.
