If you’re in the market for a derm-approved Amazon find that you won’t regret putting on “automatic purchase,” look no further than Clean Skin Club Clean Towels ($18). The high-quality, biodegradable beauty wonders come in a count of 50, have a 4.8-star rating and boast a very enticing, eco-friendly tagline: “We just took your beauty products and made them even better, for you, and for our planet.”
Designed for a pretty simple skin-care purpose—drying your face after washing it—the ultra-soft towels are made from a special blend of bamboo and cotton (i.e., they are highly absorbent). The brand also markets the towels as a “more hygienic alternative to regular towels” because they are disposable, fully bio-based and can even be put in the compost bin, minimizing the transfer of bacteria and oils from other parts of your body onto your face. What’s more, the super soft texture of the towels reduces friction and potential irritation. They are incredibly gentle and good for someone with sensitive skin or conditions like acne, eczema or rosacea.
Celebs are also taking notice of the single-use towels: “You can rip them in half,” Summer House’s Paige DeSorbo told E! “You don’t have to use the whole thing. I like to rip them in half because I like to pack them too. Dry your face, and then you can wipe up the sink with the towel. I love this so much.”
“I have been obsessed with the Clean Skin Club disposable face towels for like a year now,” Sweet July founder Ayesha Curry told us. “They really make a difference! Not using your traditional washcloth for your face helps avoid all the bacteria. I buy a lot of those.”
Lisa Rinna relies on them as well. “You can use these instead of a washcloth,” she told E! “They say those washcloths get bacteria and stuff, so get yourself a box of these Clean Towels.”
“I love these! I tried one when drying my face at a friend’s house and fell in love with how fast, easy and clean it was to dry my face! I bought a pack for myself the next day,” shared one happy Amazon customer. “And this pack lasts me forever. You only need one, and your face and neck will be dry because it’s so absorbent, and each one is so big. They have them folded in their nice and neatly, great design and great value for your money. I will never go back to using regular towels. I feel like they harbor so much bacteria [and] these towels, on the other hand, protect your skin from bacteria.”
