Towels can trap bacteria, oil, and dirt that can be transferred back to your skin with each use, potentially clogging pores and causing acne.
Towels absorb harmful substances that can cause irritation in people with dry and sensitive skin
If a towel is used by more than one person, the risk of bacterial transmission and infection increases.
Even after the towel has been washed and dried, unpleasant odors can occur from detergent residue, perspiration and bacteria on contact with water.
Using a mild laundry conditioner can cause waxy residue to build up on towels, which is bad for sensitive skin.
Studies show that 90% of face towels become contaminated with bacteria after being left to dry in the bathroom.
