Tips and DIY on Skincare, Wellness, Personal Hygiene

These days there are endless options in towels for us to choose from. But not all towels are worth the time, effort and the money spent. The fact that each towel is different with its own characteristics makes it difficult for the consumers to pick the best towel that will meet their needs. The following qualities are essential and cannot be compromised.

• Content: Make sure the towels are made of natural yarn like cotton, bamboo, banana, rayon etc. rather than synthetic fibers. The reason being natural yarns are much softer and skin friendly compared to man-made fibers. Research also shows that natural fibers are best option for those with sensitive skin.

• Good Absorbency: The purpose of a towel is to absorb water quickly so a good towel should naturally have good absorbency. Generally all towels made out of natural fibers will have good absorbency. If you pour a few droplets of water on the towel, a quality towel absorbs water almost immediately but on a poor quality towel the water beads on the surface of the towel for a few seconds before being absorbed.

• Drying time: A fine quality towel is the one that has the ability to pick up moisture as well as lose the moisture as quickly as possible. Towels made of natural yarn have the tendency by nature for faster drying.

• Weight and Density: The weight of a towel is measured by the GSM (Grams per Square Meter). A towel that has a GSM of 500-600 or above are thick and heavy than a towel that has a GSM of 300-400 which are light and thin. A towel that weighs more would have a higher yarn content making it extra plush and soft.

A towel should not be chosen based on the looks or the softness. Some of the above mentioned qualities are really important to be looked at before choosing a towel for your bathroom.

Aloe vera has been used for centuries for its amazing skin care benefits. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that can help to moisturise, soothe, and repair the skin. Aloe vera gel can be applied topically to the skin and is often used to treat sunburns, cuts, and other skin irritations. It is also said to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to reduce redness and swelling. Some people also claim that aloe vera can help to reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and fine lines.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of aloe vera for skin care may vary from person to person, and more research is needed to understand its potential benefits on a larger scale.

How a towel could change your skin care game :

Towels are one of the most common items we use on a regular basis. I cannot stress how important and essential a good towel is for the skin. Here are 3 tips and a reminder on how you can elevate your skin care game.

Use a clean towel: as cliche as it sounds, the importance of a washed towel cannot go unsaid. For clean freaks like me, taking a shower twice a day is essential. It would be difficult for anyone to have healthy skin if they don’t have a clean, bacteria-free towel. The doctor towel brand suggests users who take a bath every day to wash their towels at least once every 3 days.

Choosing the right texture :

Human skin radiates what it absorbs, so it is important to use what feels comfortable and soothing to the skin. Doctor towels have engineered the softest and most absorbent towels in recent years, which helps in conditioning all skin types, providing customers with the most luxurious experience there is to offer.

Use separate sides for face and body :

Doctor towels have designed anti-microbial, dual-sided towels which clearly indicate separate sides for the face and body. This way, when the product is used, customers can differentiate which side is used for their face and their body respectively. This helps reduce the spread of bacteria from private parts to the face or other sensitive areas in the body. Never ever share your towels. Think about what it does, practically.
