Question one for the experts: Can you use the same towel for your face and your body? The short answer is no — you should use a separate towel for your face than the one you use to dry your body (like, you know, including your butt) after a shower. "This is not just a bacteria or cleanliness issue," Lily Talakoub, a board-certified dermatologist in Virginia, tells Allure. "The products you put on your body such as moisturizers, fragrances, and hair products are not the greatest if they end up on your face," she explains. "They can clog pores, increase breakouts and some could even cause irritation or rashes."
