To not know how to use a flannel?

I use a hot flannel to oil cleanse. Takes off even the most stubborn makeup like a dream. Use once and then wash with bio and they come out beautifully white and clean. Sometimes if 3mo DD is having a tricky evening I use a face wipe instead and properly cleanse in the morning, the muck still on my face is revolting 🤢 If you're using to remove make up or are in any way prone to spots I would definitely wash after each use.

I switched to washing my face with soap and a flannel a couple of years ago and have never looked back. Now when I use a cream cleanser or wipes it just doesn't feel clean to me. Just foam up in my hands, rub over my face, rinse the flannel in clean warm water and clean off. Then I rinse the flannel under the hottest water and stick on the radiator. I tend to wash them after a couple of uses, every time I put a wash on I stick them in with it.

Don’t feel silly! I think it is partly because we are now so aware that make up wipes aren’t very ecological that flannels have started to make a come back. Until recently, they were definitely seen as old fashioned and weird. I remove make up with a normal cleanser and then use a liquid melt (but very gentle soap would be ok as long as it was not drying. Liquid handwash will be too strong). Run your flannel under the hot tap, squeeze, and wipe round your face and neck. You will need to do it a few times to remove everything. The advantage of a flannel over hands alone is that they are slightly exfoliating. You should use a clean one every day. They can look nice rolled up in a little basket. Old ones can go in the laundry basket.

Google Caroline Hirons. She is the queen of flannel use.

In the shower I use a scrunchie to wash, then a flannel to rub down. I have to rinse it and wring it a few times, then I'm nearly dry when I step out and use a towel.

I use mine once and wash. My mother uses her face flannel a few times and her body flannel once - it's up to you. In the old days, we used to change them weekly or every few days if you were fancy

Store them over the basin edge or on the radiator/towel rack (they quickly get whiffy otherwise - they really need to dry out between uses)

Take your makeup off first, as otherwise it stains, and use to remove facial cleansers or wash.

But if you have never used a flannel before, what have you been using?!
