I have to confess, there’s one thing in life I refuse to give up. Some might see it as a character flaw, but I see it as an investment: expensive skincare.
But what if all the hard work my luxury skincare is putting in was undermined by something as simple as a face cloth? Well, unfortunately, that might be the case.
Yes, that’s right, the humble bath towel or washcloth could be compromising the effectiveness of your skincare routine, thanks to millions of bacteria just waiting to land on the skin.
The bathroom is, after all, a breeding ground for bacteria, which can ultimately trigger breakouts, redness or even infection on the skin.
To combat this, Sydney-based brand Polso have created biodegradable, single-use face towels that offer a clean, hygienic (and eco-friendly) alternative to drying your face with a towel or washcloth.
“After years of struggling with acne, sensitivity, and endless ‘holy grail’ products that never quite delivered results, we discovered that our towels were undoing all the good work we invested in our routines and products,” co-founders Cami and Freya explain. “Spreading bacteria, exacerbating our rosacea, and causing unnecessary irritation — every single day!”
Made from 100 per cent viscose, the Polso Cleansing Cloths are a bacteria-free way to remove cleansing balms and oils or to wash off masks and treatments.
Gentle on even the most sensitive skin, these cloths are an effective way to pat the skin dry without spreading bacteria.
One box contains 50 wipes which will last you between one and two months. However if you’re like me and always forgetting to replenish, Polso offer a subscription option, which offers discounts when buying in bulk.
Currently on sale for Black Friday, you can nab the Polso Cleansing Cloths for 25 per cent off!
