5 Why you need at least three towels daily
Since our country has been going through crises like COVID-19 and PM2.5, we housewives can only try and do the best we can in taking care of our families. With all of this pollution and infectious disease, we have more reasons to be careful with our hygiene. Today I’m bringing one often overlooked item to your attention: towels. Yes, the same towels we use after a shower that, technically speaking, should be used only one time and then changed. I even read once on the internet that some Koreans use one towel per one shower. Let’s say if there was a family of five, that means that family would have 10 towels to wash each day. That’s a lot of laundry to do. But seeing that South Korea is much colder than Thailand, I guess they don’t shower as often as we do. Since it concerns our hygiene, I can’t let this slide. Let’s see these five reasons why it makes sense to have at least three towels ready at your disposal each day.
1. Typically, one towel is used 3 – 5 times and that’s acceptable. But if it’s more than six times then it’s becoming inappropriate. Using damp towels increases the risk of skin diseases because germs and bacteria cluster and grow well in damp areas. And let’s be honest, we often hang our towels in places like the bathroom or bedroom where there is no air flow or exposure to sunlight, which does not help with the cleanliness of the towels at all.
2. Each time we rub our body dry after a shower, we also rub off the dead skin cells. So you can imagine: if you use the same towel, you rub your body again and again with the dead skin cells and germs that will cling to your body even after a nice shower.
3. For those of you who have acne problems on your back, or even on your chest, you may blame the shower gel or the shampoo, but ever consider that maybe it’s the towel? Since towels are a favorite spot for germs, when you use the towel on your body, it tends to make acne a recurring problem. Try changing your towel frequently to see if it works.
4. The skin on your face is very delicate, so you shouldn’t use the same towel that you use on your body, especially one that’s been used several times already. Do you ever wonder why you still have acne when you wash and take care of your face thoroughly? The towel! Your face is more delicate than the rest of your body so I suggest to anyone who is acne-prone to change your towel daily. The laundry loads are the price you have to pay for flawless skin.
5. Don’t use damp towels. When a towel is damp and it touches your skin, the wet fibers of the towel are more likely to cause skin diseases than dry towels.
Now that you know all five reasons, you should change your towel right now.
