If there was an award for my most-used beauty product of 2025, the winner would easily—hands down, unquestionably—be Clean Skin Club Towels ($18). High-quality, biodegradable and, crucially, exceptionally hygienic, they’re the only product I have a continuing subscription for on Amazon so I never have to use regular face towels again. NewBeauty executive editor Liz Ritter adds: “The super soft texture of the towels reduces friction and potential irritation. They are incredibly gentle and good for someone with sensitive skin or conditions like acne, eczema or rosacea.”
I didn’t think my beloved face towels could get any better, until I saw Clean Skin Club Healthy Aging Clean Towels XL ($18), a version designed and tested solely for complexions ages 40 through 65. On top of removing makeup and eliminating the risk of bacteria, dead skin and dirt ending up on your face (ew), Clean Skin Club Healthy Aging towels go a step further, infusing each cloth with glycerin, a powerful humectant that holds moisture to the skin, resulting in brighter, firmer and smoother complexion overall. “In skin care, [glycerin] hydrates the skin, decreases fine lines and wrinkles and alleviates dry, itchy skin,” Montclair, NJ, dermatologist Jeanine Downie, MD previously explained to NewBeauty. With glycerin packed into each towel, skin is enhanced with an added layer of hydration and barrier support, creating a silky soft, truly clean and healthy base for your skin care routine.
According to the brand, after six weeks of daily use, a vast majority of participants (who all are between the ages of 40 and 65; the average age was 51 years-old) reported improvement in skin brightness and firmness, and agreed skin looked more plump.
If there’s a simpler way to protect your skin from bacteria and give skin an added boost of hydration, I have yet to find it. Real shoppers agree too: “They make my skin feel extra soft,” says one reviewer. “They don’t scratch or pull any moisture it shouldn’t from my face, in fact it gave me more.” The same reviewer adds Clean Skin Club Healthy Aging Clean Towels are “a game changer for our delicate aging face. I put these on auto order, I wont be without them now that I’ve seen and felt the difference in my skin!” A second shopper says, “These have seriously helped SO much with my breakouts. I’ve been using them for a year or so and if I forget to order it’s noticeable within a few days.” A third raves, “My skin feels cleaner, looks smoother, and [they] are so easy to use.”
