The same towel you use for your ⚽🏀 (your sensitive areas) shouldn’t touch your face… Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, found in a recent study that nearly 90% of towels were contaminated with coliform bacteria and about 14% carried E.coli, both of which are from fecal matter.

More than likely, your regular towel contains bacteria. This bacteria can cause acne- especially after shaving, or any time you have an open wound on your skin. While we’re here- let’s take a moment to address how annoying it is when towel fibers snag your hair the days after shaving.

If you know, you know. Most guys don’t care too much about the appearance of their sink. We get it, life is busy sometimes. Sometimes too busy to wipe away those hairs after shaving… Clean Towels will significantly improve the quality of your relationship (if you use them the right way- but that’s on you) because you’ll never have an excuse to leave those hairs in the sink. After you dry your face, you can use it to clean your sink. I mean- it’s already in your hand, how much easier can we make that for you?

Okay, so now you know how gross your bathroom towel is (at least, we hope you do at this point). Take a nice hard look in the mirror. Are you experiencing any of the skin concerns mentioned above? We’re here to answer the frequently asked question: “where did I go wrong?” It’s simple. You’re using the ⚽🏀 towel on your face. Notice a pattern? All joke aside, your skin is literally an organ and your skin barrier is extremely sensitive. Abrasive, bacteria-filled towels will negatively affect your skin.

When you sweat, your body not only loses water content, but also sebum (oil) and dead skin exit through your pores along with ammonia and urea. All of which can contribute to skin irritation, breakouts, & clogged pores. Using a regular towel to wipe your sweat away is basically putting bacteria on bacteria- what’s the point? Clean Skin Club recommends taking Clean Towels to places where you're prone to sweat- like the gym or for outdoor activities, so you can confidently address your sweat and know that you’re using a clean & bacteria free towel each time.
