The second page of this thread has lots of good info about what makes microfibre so good at attracting/clearing oil and dirt off skin:
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=25631
Cotton/muslin cloths will perhaps be gentler, but not as thorough at attracting oil/dirt & exfoliating. This isn't a bad thing - a lot of people go overboard trying to scrub out every trace of oil, which irritates the skin causing it to produce more oil trying to protect itself.
You don't need to use any product together with any cloth. Retin-A & Vit c are treatments you might want to read up about and have nothing to do with cloths - and you may not feel you need them. Again, no need to go overboard. Introduce one new thing to your routine at a time.
You can alternate with an exfoliating product one day (i.e. your diy oatmeal), cloth the next, whatever you want. You might want to try each new thing just once every few days at first to gage how your skin reacts to it.
You must use a sunscreen (& not wash off) in the daytime though to protect yourself from sun damage. If its moisturizing too, you won't need a seperate moisturizer, especially if your skin isn't dry.
As FF said, rethink your use of body wash on your face as its probably wreaking havoc on your skin.
You need to launder any cloths - why waste if you don't need to? By a ton at once and throw them in their own load of laundry every couple weeks. You need to wash microfibre seperately from all other fabrics. With cotton/muslin you can throw them in with your regular laundry. You only need to replace microfibre if you don't take care of them properly. |
