To not know how to use a flannel?

OP watch some you tube facial videos. The hot flannel is different from washing your face. It is used after the cleanser to help open up your pores so the treatments sink deeper into your skin. It is not used as a cleaning tool.

I cut up all the muslin cloths we had when they were no longer needed. Some of them have patterns.

I use baby oil / paraffin to cleanse off makeup, and then wipe off with a muslin, and then wash with ceraveSA to clear the rest off. I use a fresh muslin piece to dry.

I use another one in the shower for a body wash, and use a regular looped towel to dry after using moisturiser when still wet.

I put the muslins in with the hot wash laundry.

Lie in a scented bath with a hot flannel over your face, bliss.

I don't shower every day - sensitive skin - so use a flannel and a basin of water to clean on the day I don't. Didn't occur to me that there are so many different ways to use a cloth!

Love flannels .

I have some Hammam ones from TKMaxx that are really good.

Recently got some from Emma Hardie. They are towelling on one side and muslin on the other. Fantastic to use.
Eve Lom and Liz Earle sell muslin square type cloths with their cleansing balms but you can buy muslins online.
Ikea used to sell a pack of multi coloured trimmed white face clothes in the children department. They were a great rough texture which is what you want for exfoliation.

I keep mine in a huge glass jar in the bathroom. Clean one everyday wash them all at the end of the week with the rest of the whites.

I’ve been using a face cloth and not water with a cleansing balm or oil for a few years now and it’s so much better and more thorough than using make up wipes or cotton wool with some cream on it.

I do still use cotton wool pads and eye make up remover for my mascara though.

I have one face cloth per day. I use a fresh one in the morning when my face is pretty clean anyway and the same one again at night, then chuck in the wash. Lots of people will tell you that flannels are unhygienic but so long as you don’t use the same one for more than a day or two and remake sure to rinse it well and squeeze it out, there is nothing unhygienic about it.

Another vote for muslin cloths, with Eve Lom or Votary cleanser. Flannels are too harsh for my skin.

I’ve never used one either. The only people I know who have flannels are elderly.

I have a pile of muslin cloths to wash my face. I think their structure is better for removing tiny bits of dirt /makeup and dead skins.
Cleanse with chosen cleanser applied with finger tips and then wipe face clean with damp cloth.
I use one per day then wash and store in a folded pile in bathroom cupboard.
These cloths take up much less space than a bulky towelling flannel.

I bought these from ebay.

I’m also a nocturnal double cleanser - morning single cleanse I use muslins.

I’ve got some liz Earle /branded ones and some I made by hemming old baby muslins.

I use one per face wash so two/ day and wash them with my towels.

My skin doesn’t Like hot water so I use tepid to avoid going bright red.

DM used to carry a damp flannel in a plastic bag in her bag for cleaning up children's hands and faces.

I love my flannels too- I have a huge pile of them. I use them for face and body.
They can be picked up very cheaply- I think Home Bargains have cotton flannels for 39p each.
I have cut a few into squares and turned them into make up remover pads.

I was all my flannels and wipes after one use in a hot wash.

Love a flannel for double cleansing

Other than as a child, I’ve never used a flannel.

I use 3 types (different colours so i remember): face (get washed every 2-3 day, rinse and dry on radiator in between), body (arms/legs/armpits etc, get washed same as face), and “down below” ones (get washed after every use). i have a wetbag for the ones ready to be washed, and they go straight into the machine

I double cleanse. I take my makeup off with Dermalogica pre-cleanse and then use a hot, clean flannel to wipe off. I then use their Special cleansing gel and again, wipe off with the rinsed flannel which then goes into the wash.

I use white flannels land they get put in with the towels on a wash.

How do you wash your face in the morning? I always use a flannel with warm water to wash my face, then put moisturiser etc on when it's dry

I agree that grey flannels are the best- buy 6 or so, use them then rinse with hot water at the basin. Good for 2-3 goes then in with the school uniform or towel hot wash for mine.

Makeup will stain white ones, and bleach is not good for the environment. The grey ones will still come up clean, but not need to be ‘pristine’.

I also use cotton breast/nipple pads instead of cotton wool now for removing eye makeup. They get stained but I'm not fussed!

Here

I have a basket of grey flannels and use them every day and they get washed with everything else

Wash not was

I double cleanse - rub cleansing balm all over dry face and rub off with flannel (lukewarm for me as too hot makes me all red), then wash again with foaming wash and remove with flannel. One use per flannel - I was them with the towels.

I soak mine in a small bucket with some bio powder and O2 powder, then they go in the wash with the towels. I get bundles of the really cheap ones, they're nice and rough.
