Do you dry your body with the same towel you use to dry your face? Stop right there! According to Sydney-based dermatologist Shreya Andric, one should always use a different towel for the face, body and hair, especially if they are prone to acne or breakouts.
Different towels minimise the transfer of bacteria. Otherwise, the oils and fungi transfer from your hair, butt and other areas onto your face and vice versa.
The expert also advised that it’s best to wash your towels every three days to avoid skin irritation and they should be soaked in proper sunlight after every use.
