To not know how to use a flannel?

What cleansing oil do people recommend? Never tried one. How does oil get make up off? I don’t understand?

I bought 12 purple flannels and wash after a few uses. I use washable pads to remove make up. Flannels with Lush soap in the bath. I don’t do showers, I fall over.

I genuinely thought everyone used them!

Flannels forever 😊

I use a combination of flannels, old muslins from when the DC were small (cut up and hemmed to flannel size) and crocheted shower puff, make up remover cloths that I made. The shower puffs that I make are cotton so can go in the washing machine after 1 or 2 uses.

I've just got Dd1 to try the cleansing oil and flannel routine. She'd used up all the hot water in the shower but she still loved it and all her layers of mascara came off easily. We've got a fair few flannels but they are rarely used. Time to dig them out and get using them. My skin feels lovely after using one. I use hands and soap in the shower though.

I use a flannel on my face every day in the shower. Wash body with exfoliating sponge and shower cream, then use a gentle exfoliating face wash and wipe it off with a damp flannel; feel really clean after that. Hang flannel on edge of shower basket to dry and change it every couple of days.

I have never used a flannel. I wash my face with face wash and water with hands, rinse and dry. If I wear makeup I use cleanser with a Muslin cloth or cotton wool. Or use wash off foaming cleanser.
I wash myself with shower gel or soap and a sponge from the body shop in the shower.

Nameofchanges

The word is much more widespread than Brittonic. Gaelic and Nordic laguages use almost the same word, and Germanic too.

Flannel is one of the few words left from the ordinary Brittonic language people used before English. It refers to a small piece of material. Please keep saying flannel and don’t let it die out!

flannels are fab - great for gentle exfoliating too, especially if you use them in a circular motion. every colour except white or cream though.

@kiddingmyself Maybe some of these will be handy? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183944948277

I have a small basket with neatly rolled flannels in it Kondo style. I use them to remove makeup then straight in the wash.

I rub hot cloth cleanser into my face. Take it off with a hot flannel. If I've used tons of makeup, I'll use a remover first, but generally I don't wear much and I don't mind getting it on an old flannel too much. I hang them to dry over the bath's shower rail. You could use a tiny stick on hook? I use for a couple of days and then stick in the washing basket (but only when dry so they don't fester)

I have always used a flannel, every single night. I remove my makeup and then use a lovely hot flannel to wipe my face and then the rest of my routine... I love it, feels really cleansing. I use them once and wash so we have a lot of flannels!!

I am elderly and I rarely use a flannel. I use my hands and aqueous cream In place of soap for washing all over. As the shower never seems to do a good job on my feet I have a dedicated bowl I fill with hot water and some kind of shower soap. I stand in this and move my feet around usually when cleaning my teeth!

Exactly, @oldfashionedtastingtea - surgeons and medics don’t use flannels to wash their hands!!

I'm a recent convert to bamboo flannels, having used cotton wool and cleanser forever. I'm amazed at how much better my skin is - smoother with more refined pores.

I use it to wash off cleanser - soap makes my skin way too dry

I have always used a flannel to wash my face in the morning. I run it under the hot tap then wring it out quickly and wash my face with it while it's still hot. I don't feel clean unless I've done that. Then I rinse it, and hang it over the side of the bath. I use two or three a week and wash them weekly in with the hot wash.

*soap, water and hands

does very little to wash you properly.*

It's mostly the rubbing under water that makes you clean. Adding soap (not shower gel ofr fake dove soap but an oldfashioned real bar of soap) adds the antibacterial process. Of course it washes you properly! The flannel doesn't magic bacteria away.

For various reasons too boring to go into, I can't shower or bathe so use three flannels; one for my face, one for my body and one for my bits - all differently coloured. They are all frequently washed and seem to do the job quite well.

I love , after make up removed, to get the flannel quite hot after rinsing under the hot tap then wrong it out then place it over my face for a quick steam spa. I then wipe my face with the flannel to exfoliate and clean and voila! Pop a serum or moisturiser on and you are BEAUTIFUL!!! ( might want to let the redness go down for a few minutes!)

Have you really just asked how to use a flannel? And people have answered you seriously?

Mind. Boggled.

"His n hers...

The penis beaker and the fanny flannel 😂"

Basically... but we're both use flannels 🤭

I use cheapest basic baby wipes, a sonic cleansing brush & foaming cleanser, splash off with water & dry on a towel. Having a teenage ds I would rather not know where the flannel has been, I imagine he probably uses it to clean the shower out after using it.
