Does anyone use paper towels to dry their face?

[Gwendela]

I just use a clean towel. In fact I don't use paper towels at all in my house.

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 agree. I wouldn't be comfortable getting those bits left on my face. Well, now I wonder how often should I change the towel.

Yes...I know it's not good for the environment, but it makes a big difference in my skin.

Unless I was in a pinch and couldn't find a real towel, there's no way I'd use a paper one on my face. Just seems terribly wasteful to me, when a nice, clean, soft, fluffy towel does the job just wonderfully on its own, and you don't have to throw it away after just one use!

no one ask u to WIPE your face with a paper towel... u put it on your face and just lightly touch your face with it . thats the best way to dry your face according to some artist and drs. dont get rid of all the water . leave a bit on your face and then put on your own moisturizer. that way more water can be retained and for longer.

Ive used one maybe once or twice.

i do. whats wrong with using it to dry your face?

 

[littletingoddes]

I just use a fresh dry washcloth every time. It's gentler than a paper towel, and doesn't fill up the trash.

I use a tissue or something, towels harbour germs no matter often you wash them.

 

[Ricci]

ouch!! no way

 

[emily_3383]

sometimes, i dont see whats wrong with that.

there's no harm in using paper towels and its not possible to get white stuff on your face unless you scrub it like ur scrubbing a pot. Just use to blot the water.

Anyhoo, i use towels but i see the point in using paper towels. No bacteria.....I might try it

If you have oily skin after you wash your face I dry it with paper towels. I found face towels spread like bacteria and they leave your face oily. Paper towels leave your face with a matte look, dry clean crisp. No roughness, just pat dry your face, dont rub.

i heard people are doing it cause it is supposedly more hygienic. I don't because i would feel bad using up so much paper just for that (I kind of have this thing about carrying about environment) - so I just have this little face towels that I try to wash quite often.

Yes, I also use Bounty paper towels, they are lint free and always clean, IMO. I do not rub them on my face, just blot the water off with them. I hate using a hand towel, as it seems, no matter how much I wash my face, there is always some make up left behind, and it gets all over my good hand towels. I keep rinsing and washing and blotting until the paper towel comes out clean! Works for me, anyway, been using Bounty for this for several years and no problems!

usually use one wash rag for my face a day, that way i get my own town so to speak. as far as air drying per someone else, I personally know my skin would chap that way. Paper towels well if I was sweating I might but not on a ongoing basis, I mean paper towels I just dont think are so good for your skin

 

[mmonroemaniac]

never have, but it makes sense rather than rubbing your face in a towel that you fibbed your face in yesturday or whatever

 

[LovinPigments]

hmmm sounds like something more to spend money on...whats wrong with a towel. i think paper towels would leave like a dusty residue on the face.
