5 REASONS WHY BATH TOWELS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN YOUR CHILD'S HYGIENE

Image
  As a parent, your child’s health will be of utmost importance to you. Before you buy anything – from baby food, clothes to toys, soaps, towels - for your child, you spend time on finding out the best brands, researching on their credibility, quality and looking for user experience. You do all of this because you understand that your baby’s skin is delicate and is vulnerable to a number of problems, health problems in particular. We don’t know about the toys and food, but when it comes to towels, we know how towels can have an impact on your child’s hygiene. Read further to know more about this. 1. Prone to bacterial infections Children’s immunity system is not fully developed until they are 14 years old. So until then, they are prone to bacterial infections. They play in mud; they interact with a lot of people and we all know, kids don’t exactly follow good personal hygiene, as they are still learning it. All these make it easy for bacterial breeding. Not using the right towel af...

Why using a separate towel for your body and face may be a gamechanger in your skincare routine

Image
  Would you use the same soap for your body and your face? Maybe yes. Maybe no, but if not, then it is high time you considered doing so. This is because your face is very sensitive, and it simply isn’t safe to use the same soap that you use for your body on your sensitive face as well. Also, you don’t want to transfer millions of bacteria from your own body onto your face. The same applies to towels too. We often don’t realize how important towels are, but it’s high time that we did now. “The bacteria left on your skin — arms, legs, shoulders — have some specificity to those areas of the body, and if you use a towel on your body and then your face, you can transfer those bacteria, viruses and fungi onto your face”, says Dr Sanjay Aggarwal, a general physician at Holistic Healthcare Centre in Delhi. “These can clog pores, increase breakouts and some could even cause irritation or rashes,” he adds. We have this common tendency to wipe our body first with a towel, and then wipe our ...

DIRTY TOWELS CAUSING SMELL? HERE ARE 5 WAYS TO GET RID OF IT

Image
  No one likes a smelly towel. They not only smell and feel bad when you use them, but sometimes it goes to extremes where a bad smelling towel can make a whole room smell bad. This is common, but something which can be easily avoided by getting a few things straight. Towels tend to get smelly when they are put away wet. While this is something most of us know, sometimes towels may smell bad even with enough air. This is because with frequent washing, there tends to be detergent/fabric softener build up along with the moisture, which causes a sour smell. The worse the smell gets, the more dangerous your towel becomes because a moist towel is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Using towels with a bacterial infection can lead to infections in various parts of your body, and your private parts can especially be very vulnerable to such infections. Here’s a list of things you can do to keep your towel clean and odor-free. 1. Sun dry your towel Sun drying your towel is the easiest...

5 Reasons Why You Should Change Your Bath Towel Every Now & Then

Image
  We often look out for expiry dates when buying edible items. Why? For the simple reason that we don’t want the fungus and mold that grow on expired food going into our body. But is it okay to have the same fungus and mold rubbed onto your body? Definitely not, right? If you didn’t know that your towel also has an expiry date, it’s high time you did. It is not recommended to use a towel for years without changing it and here is why. 1. Your towel houses millions of germs. After a shower, our towels gather debris, oil & dust particles from our face and body. With proper washing and drying, this effect is minimized. However, after repeated use of a towel, germs tend to accumulate to a point where no amount of washing and drying can get rid of them. This is why old towels tend to have a damp, musty smell even after they are washed. This is when your towel becomes a proper house for germs and you should replace it to avoid the risk of transferring the germs to your body. 2. Yo...

Why does the length of your bath towels matter?

Image
  When it comes to your towels , length definitely matters! Imagine. You’ve just taken a shower, and you’re all set to step out in your towel to find your clothes before you can get dressed. Everything seems pretty chill- that is, until you realize your towel won’t wrap around you properly because it is too small! Now you’re in a fix! An inappropriately sized towel may not necessarily be harmful, but it is something that can put you in a very embarrassing situation easily. You might have to come out of the shower quickly to get something or to attend a call, in a shared room or when you have guests over. Many women come across situations where they need a change of clothes in public after a swim or due to unfortunately getting wet. Something that comes handy in such situations is an appropriately long towel.  Having a towel of the right size for every situation doesn’t involve anything extraordinary. It is just about selecting the right towel, being smart and appearing smart w...

ANTIMICROBIAL TOWELS: MARKETING GIMMICK OR A HONEST SOLUTION?

Image
  Let us start with a couple of examples. A clean bowl of water is usually just a clean bowl of water whereas a stagnant puddle of water with a lot of dirt and sediments is all that plus a breeding ground for mosquitoes, bacteria and all kinds of germs. Any food item left out for a while is being exposed to germs and bacteria and eventually starts rotting. This is exactly how it is with towels as well.  Every time you wipe your body with a towel, it gets exposed to millions of bacteria and germs and when the same towel is used again, you’re just rubbing those bacteria and germs back onto yourself. But this is the 21st century, the generation of great innovation and thankfully, the dirty towel problem now has a solution- Antimicrobial Towels!  Yes, antimicrobial towels work and your skin will thank you for using them. Anti-microbial towels come infused with materials and fabrics that are naturally resistant to germs and bacteria, so when the towel comes in contact wit...

Nonetheless, a personal item like a towel requires extensive research about what it is made of, how it is made and the different types available in the market. If you have acne, you've most likely invested your time and money in trying different moisturizers, cleansers, facials and whatnot.

This is fine but it will work only if your towels are clean.  Clean towels lead to clear skin. Here are a few pointers on choosing a towel that holds the key to maintaining a clear skin. 1. ALWAYS GO FOR ANTIBACTERIAL TOWELS The towels we use regularly act as a host for numerous bacteria that are bad for the skin. This is because towels are kept under moist conditions and hold dampness for a...

From sanitizing our hands almost every hour to sanitizing our workplace every day, hygiene has become our top priority. All for the right reasons too. A global pandemic is not something to be taken lightly. With that being said, what changes have we made to our daily routine? Let's take showers, for example.
