4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF TOWELS ONE SHOULD OWN

Towels are one of the most useful and essential accessories that every home should have. But, does having any towel cover it? Nope. Having a good quality towel is essential, as it is the very basic requirement for a healthy skin. A good towel can help you prevent microbial growth, give you warmth & a good shower experience, keep your skin soft and do much more. A good towel does a lot more than just being an accessory to wipe down your face or hands.

Most of us probably grab one towel and use it for our face, body and hands. So you might be surprised to know that there are four different types of towels you should own to care for your body. And if that has convinced you to stock up on more towels, here’s a list of the most popular types of towels and how they differ from one another.

Bath towels

Bath towels are an important element of a bathroom. You know how important it is to take a shower after a long day out in the polluted air or after a sweaty workout. Similarly, a good bath towel is also essential to prevent skin infections, provide you comfort and be extremely soft on your skin.

Face towels

There are people who follow a face care routine, which would include a number of creams, face washes, etc., like a religious ritual. But what if we told you that using a good face towel is the start of a good face care routine? Face towels are not just for cleaning up after a face wash. A proper face towel can be an indispensable piece of the beauty routine, too. A clean, dry face towel is essential to keep your skin hydrated and supple while also preventing sweat buildup. It also protects your skin from friction or potential irritants, when they are coated with antimicrobial properties. It’s better to use a separate face towel, rather than a bath towel, for your face to keep the skin super-protected all the time.

Hand towels

It’s been estimated that there are around 1,500 bacteria living on each square inch of skin on our hands. While some may not be an issue, many cause low to serious problems in your body when they are not washed off properly. So, it’s better to wash your hands using hand wash or sanitisers and wipe them using dedicated hand towels. These hand towels not only wipe the water off but also provide greater protection with their antimicrobial properties

Gym towels

Sweat. That’s what gym reminds us of. With sweat comes a number of germs and bacteria. And a place that is used by hundreds of people would have limitless potential for infections. So one of the main accessories to be carried along with you during your gym time is a towel. While wiping your sweat off, the gym towels also protect you from infection-causing germs with its antimicrobial properties and acts smooth on your skin.
