Does anyone use paper towels to dry their face?

[MetzFan]

I've read of some people doing this. I saw a roll of Seventh Generation brown paper towels (brown meaning they're unbleached) that are fragrance and dye free.

Anyone ever try this?

Thanks.

What's wrong w/a towel to blot??? Paper Towels I can't see any use for them - other than wiping down the counter-top

Not me. My skin wouldn't tolerate it.

A lot of paper towels seem to be kind of "dusty" to me, like sometimes they'll leave little bits of paper behind and such, especially those cheap brown towels in some public restrooms .... if the paper particles are small enough, I would worry that they would clog your pores ... but I have no idea if they actually would, that's just my own thoughts!

Using CLEAN towels to dry your face should be just fine .... remember that facial oils from your face and bacteria from all sorts of places can build up on towels, so make sure you replace them often!

i avoid paper towels as the white ones are chemically treated or they make me sneeze due to residue dust.

I agree with the others, a clean dry towel is the best and most hygenic. I wouldn't want to end up with little white bits on my face after washing.

Sorry, I've never use paper towels to dry my skin.

I prefer using a clean dry towel to paper towel.

 

[bocagirl]

I do, I use Bounty.

I am with bocagirl. I too use Bounty to dry my face. It doesn't leave white bits and I can use a clean one every time I wash my face. It works great!

I have never even heard of this before, does that make me strange?

I just use a clean normal towel.

I do sometimes when I'm away from ome with the kitchen ones, it doesn't irritate my skin, i's only a temporary thing when I don't have a clean face towel.

 

[laurenbusta]

yeah i have heard that u should use paper towels too especially if u have acne prone skin.. its supposed to help with the bacteria found in towels..

 

[shivs]

I like to use just a clean tissue rather then a towel, because towels are more likeley to carry bacteria, but I usually just let my face air dry.

I've done it before, in an airport restroom. I took the redeye and had to go to seminars all day w/o a chance to get to my grandparents' house to change/get ready. I only blot/pat dry with paper towels, though...any rubbing is just really irritating.

I prefer to air dry my face.

most paper towels are too rough for me.

 

[pinkette]

I like to use paper towel for some strange reason I prefer it more than using a towell

 

[magosienne]

i just use a normal towel. i usually do the laundry, so i oftenly replace them with clean ones.

I have never tried this. I would think they would be too rough for my face?
