Face Towel

A face towel is a small-sized towel generally used for drying and cleaning the face. It is typically softer and more absorbent than body towels due to its intended use on sensitive skin.

Material:

• Cotton: The most common material, valued for its softness, absorbency, and affordability. Varieties include:
  • Regular Cotton: Standard option, suitable for everyday use.
  • Egyptian Cotton/Pima Cotton/Supima Cotton: Long-staple cottons known for exceptional softness, durability, and absorbency; generally more expensive.
  • Organic Cotton: Grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, appealing to those with sensitivities or environmental concerns.
• Microfiber: Made of synthetic fibers (typically polyester and polyamide). Offers superior absorbency, quick-drying properties, and a soft texture. Often used for makeup removal.
• Bamboo: Naturally soft, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic. Absorbent and sustainable.
• Linen: Derived from flax fibers. Highly absorbent and durable, but may be less soft than cotton initially; softens with use.

Purpose:

• Drying the face: After washing, cleansing, or showering.
• Makeup removal: Gentle removal of cosmetics.
• Cleansing: Used with cleansers to remove dirt, oil, and impurities.
