Face Washcloth Buyer’s Guide
Anyone who knows anything about skincare knows that you need to be careful about what goes on your face, from your skincare products to your makeup, to the flannel you use. A face washcloth will help clean your skin, remove makeup, and refresh you without irritating sensitive skin.
There’s a huge range of face washcloths on the market and finding the best one can be tricky. Not sure what to look for? Take a look at this buyer’s guide.
Material
Most face washcloths are made from cotton, and they may contain a small amount of polyester or bamboo. Those made from pure cotton are the best for sensitive skin and are very soft. They tend to be slightly less durable than polyester or bamboo washcloths, but they feel very luxurious.
Cloths made with a polyester and cotton blend are more durable than pure cotton cloths. However, they aren’t quite so gentle on your skin, and they tend to have a slightly rougher feel. They’ll likely cost a lot less than pure cotton washcloths.
Bamboo is highly absorbent which makes it a great choice for washcloths. Bamboo is antibacterial, eco-friendly and breathable, so it’s perfect for those with sensitive skin.
Finally, some cloths contain microfibre. These will gently exfoliate your skin, whether you use exfoliate or not. They are very absorbent and can be used with or without cleanser. For makeup removal, a microfibre face cloth is the best option.
Comfort
The comfort of your washcloth usually depends on the material used. 100% cotton washcloths are the softest and best for your skin. You should also ensure your face washcloth is the right size, with most measuring around 30 x 30cm.
Towels in the Set
It’s unusual to just buy one face washcloth, with most sets containing at least 3. Larger households should purchase a multipack, and then you’ll have a few spares. Most washcloths are reusable and can be cleaned in the washing machine when needed.
Colour Options
If you’re someone who prides themselves on a perfectly coordinated bathroom, the colour of your washcloth set is important! Some come in bright colours, while pastel colours are another great option. For pure luxury, bright white washcloths are a great option.
