frequently asked questions.
what is a disposable face towel?
a disposable face towel is a soft, dry towel you use once to dry or clean your face, then throw away. bamteek towels are made from plant fibre, not plastic, so each one is clean and untouched the first and only time it meets your skin.
why use a disposable face towel instead of a regular towel?
a regular towel stays damp between uses and collects bacteria, old skin cells and product residue, then goes back on your face. a single-use towel is fresh every time, so there is nothing to transfer. that is the whole point: clean, bacteria-free face drying.
are these towels safe for very sensitive or acne-prone skin?
yes. the towel is soft, fragrance-free and has nothing added to it, so there is nothing to irritate the skin. people with sensitive, reactive or acne-prone skin use a disposable face towel because a fresh towel each time removes one of the hidden causes of breakouts: a towel that is never really clean.
what are bamteek towels made of?
plant fibre. the face towel, sweat towel and travel towel are made from eucalyptus fibre; the golden towel and golden travel towel are made from bamboo fibre. no plastic, no chemicals, no fragrance.
how exactly do i use bamteek towels in my routine?
take one towel from the box and use it dry to pat your face after washing, or add a little water or micellar water to remove makeup, sunscreen or a face mask. the towel is absorbent and strong enough for a full makeup removal without tearing. throw it away when you are done. most people keep the box next to the sink and use one in the morning and one at night.
how many towels are in a box and how long does a box last?
the face towel and golden towel come 50 to a box, the sweat towel 20, the travel towel and golden travel towel 10. used once a day, a 50-towel box lasts about 7 weeks; morning and night, about 3 and a half weeks.
can i reuse a towel?
it is designed as a single-use towel, which is what makes it clean. it is strong enough for more than one step in the same routine, for example removing makeup and then drying your face, but it should not be kept for the next day.
what happens to the towel after i use it?
you throw it in the normal bin. because it is plant fibre with no plastic, the towel is biodegradable and breaks down after use.
do you offer travel formats?
yes, the travel towel and golden travel towel are 10-towel boxes sized for a handbag, gym bag or carry-on, the same towel as the full box.
