I just don’t want to mix them because I feel like it would make me less clean.

Relatedly, what’s the best way I can follow the Patrick Bateman skincare routine as a simplified version that’s actually practical to follow and contains the most important steps?

I have seen met people who use 3 towels. 4 may be uncommon, but not abnormal.

Does it matter if it’s normal? You using 4 towels isn’t hurting anyone anymore than me using one towel does.

As for the skincare routine, I can’t help there.

I can only guess where the idea of wastefulness is such an alien concept that it’s completely overlooked here.

Do you not wash and reuse towels…?

To be devil’s advocate, it’s still 3 times embodied carbon of a small towel, that doesn’t need to hurt the planet. And you’ll probably replace towels every year or so.

I know it’s nitpicking and annoying to point out such a small thing when people are buying 3year cruise tickets. But it’s still true.

Yes, apparently four times less than some though. The chemicals used to wash them, not to mention the water waste, are really impactful if you start multiplying them among millions of people.

Something I learned taking college microbiology was that if you reuse towels for drying off make sure one end (like the end with the tag) is dedicated for your bottom half and the other for the top. That way you don’t accidentally get your genital flora in your eyes/face.

I did not learn this in college microbiology and I don’t think it’s something that’s generally taught. Lol

No. It’s not normal at all. But you do you. No one is normal.

But I would be more worried about having OCD if you are worried that (not) using separate towels for your hands and face makes you less clean.
