If you ever really stop to think about your washcloth, it’s kind of, well, pretty gross. We use the same towel, with fibers that double as a breeding ground for bacteria, to repeatedly clean our faces and remove sweat, makeup, and sunscreen. Essentially, we’ve normalized the idea of using a dirty cloth on clean skin (make it make sense). Frankly, though, I never questioned it. I do laundry once a week and don’t use the same towel for more than two or three days.
But around a month ago, I was visiting my aunt, and when I asked for a towel, she went to her cabinet and handed me a massive box of Grace & Stella Ultra Soft Face Towels. She didn’t want my makeup staining her new towels (fair), but little did she know this $4 a day swap was about to change the state of my sensitive skin.
