This towel is for the "Steam ON Face®" 3-step method: warming, wiping, and rinsing, using a steam towel made with hot water, alternating between the gauze and pile sides. It's an Imabari towel, with the gauze side made of "Papolis" (rayon with the natural moisturizing ingredient squalane kneaded into the fibers), known for its soft and smooth texture against the skin. The pile side uses "munen-shi" (untwisted yarn), which is soft and highly moisturizing. I have kept it stored at home since I purchased it. - Brand: KOBAKO - Product Name: Steam Facial Towel - Usage: Face towel Thank you for looking.
