Inflammations occur on the skin for a reason. Even if you wash your face thoroughly, use peels and acids, but make one mistake with a towel every day, your acne will not go away. EAOMedia will tell you what's going on.
It turns out that the towel is a breeding ground for bacteria that simply adore a damp environment. And it is precisely this that comes into contact with the face more often.
Dermatologist Svetlana Zhaboeva told the source (18+) how to use a towel correctly so that it does not pose a threat to the skin.
Rule 1: There should be a lot of towels. Each family member has their own set for the face, body and legs. If you use the same towel, you can imagine what will happen to it in a day. It won’t even have time to dry, let alone be hygienic.
Rule 2: The deadline for changing towels is once every 3 days, or preferably more often. If there are inflammations on the skin, then you need to update the kit every day. A weaker alternative is to iron the fabric.
Rule 3: You cannot leave a towel in the bathroom. Firstly, it is humid there, and it will not have time to dry out. Secondly, it is in this room that there are the most bacteria. They are on the sink that a towel can touch. Also, germs quietly scatter throughout the bathroom and settle over the entire surface after flushing the toilet, if it is open. Mold spores on the walls may not be visible, but will also remain on the towel.
So if you eliminate these mistakes and start acting according to a new scheme, your skin will become much healthier.
