Hey everyone, I’m trying to find a facial tissue that doesn’t fluff or leave lint behind, so I can gently dry my face after washing and before applying skincare products.

What do you use or recommend? Looking for something soft, absorbent, and truly lint-free.

Thanks in advance!

I will use cloth napkins, handkerchiefs, and towels as much as possible.

But I still will use Kleenex (facial tissues) and paper towels too. I've worked in healthcare (as auxiliary staff) and do worry about germs.

If I KNOW I'm sick, I use the disposable versions during cold and flu season if I hit at being sick. Because I throw them away, and hopefully throw away the germs.

If I know it's just seasonal allergies, or a runny nose from winter cold weather, I still use a handkerchief. Or normal towels to clean.

Anyone else like this?

I want like them but it just seems like all the ones I've tried are so small and I don't have a big face. They over all just don't fit not around the eyes or mouth.

What are the best face hygiene article in your opinion which is a must have for really clean skin

Aight -- I've been low-key kinda hyped for wearing masks during the whole epidemic and have started collecting them to accessorize with. To that point, I did my best to spin up a list (AKA spreadsheet) of brands that I've found that have some cool designs going on, as well as to list any causes (AFAIK) that they might be donating to/supporting.

 

• List here.

• Instagram here.

• Blog/website here. -- UNDER CONSTRUCTION

 

All of this is still a work in progress, so I'm just slowly adding stuff as I go.

DISCLAIMER -- I am NOT affiliated with any of the businesses, companies, or brands listed. They're just selling some masks I thought were cool that I wanted to share. I am not, and have no intention of, profiting from this in any way.

Additionally -- not all of these masks are up to CDC standards/specs or classified as N95. Some are and/or have filter pockets though, and I might try to specifically flag those ones if I get the chance.

TL;DR - I tried my best to create a list of masks from a lot of "mainstream" fashion labels. Link.

Please let me know if y'all have any comments or suggestions!

P.S.: I really hope this is in line with community guidelines mods plz be merciful.

 

Edit: Dang y'all -- it's so dope to see all the cordial discussions going on in the comments. Thanks for recommending masks and informing each other on other options and suggestions!! Coupla updates:

• There have been a TON of suggestions -- I stopped at about 100 brands last night, and have about 100 more that I still plan on adding to the main list. Brands I plan on adding can be found in the "pending" tab of the spreadsheet.

• I'm trying to make sure that I strikethrough any items I'm finding that are "dead" (i.e.: Outdoor Voices), so this will not include items that are currently sold out and might come back, or items that have pre-orders and notifications available.

• The masks on this list aren't necessarily gonna be objectively better than any others AFAIK -- they're all just brands I found that I thought MFA (or anyone for that matter) might like.

• I haven't included eBay, Etsy, or FB Marketplace shops because that could become insanely overwhelming really quickly -- and there has been some self-promotion that I'm trying to avoid.

• To the non-US Redditors -- if there are any options specific to the EU that are suggested to me, I'll try to throw them up on a separate tab as time allows. I'm located in the US of A, so that was my primary focus.

• I'm still not affiliated with any of these brands -- I just wanna help people who like cool stuff cop cool stuff, and maybe direct people to giving towards causes they like in the process as well.

Please keep the discussions ongoing y'all -- it's so dope to see all the support and care in the sub going on!!

 

Edit II: Thanks for the continued input and suggestions y'all -- as of this edit, I think we've got about 150+ masks on the list. Several "quality of life" updates to the list:

• Freezing the top row and first 2 columns so that people can better track the brand(s) and row information that their viewing.
• I've created separate columns to try and include:
• If masks have filter pockets (I'll link to the filters on the site if they sell them)
• "Strap" types (elastic, over-ear, behind neck, etc.)
• If masks have adjustable "nose pieces"
• A running list of various causes/organizations for those who are just lookin' to donate, stay in the know, and/or inform others.

 

Edit III: List is still going strong and we've got about 150+ brands at the moment, with about 100+ on the way. I'm still fleshing everything else out, but since this has gained a lot more traction and people have been asking about health concerns and CDC/WHO standards, I'm slowly also trying to detail and make more information readily consolidated/available. I also might try to start doing/posting reviews on masks based on availability and (personal funds).

 

Edit IV: I've had some brands and users reaching out to me to show support, so I'm working to start up a blog and post information, updates, etc. regarding masks (and hopefully even COVID19 info) because people have been asking for recommendations and this has been useful in not only (hopefully) raising awareness for others, but in educating myself and learning more and more about masks, COVID, and current medical standards.

 

I'm still not a healthcare/medical professional, nor am I claiming to be, and this is in no way being done for profit or marketing -- it's just something that progressively spiraled out of a hobby of mine into a legitimate avenue for discussions and education, and I have no formal affiliations or stakes in any of the brands that I've listed/detailed. Starting off with an Instagram for now while still putting together a blog/website (both currently under construction), but it should just serve to act as a more formal medium for what I'm doing here and on the spreadsheet but with more write-ups, details, and even fit pics for different masks.

 

Please keep in mind: I'm a "one man shop" and this list may or may not have been made on a whim because I wanted to keep a running list of brands that I liked. So please keep the suggestions coming and I'll do my best to update/course correct accordingly. If you or someone you know personally owns/runs a brand, please PM me and I'll try to include it (once again: I am not including Etsy/eBay/FB/etc. shops because that's a slippery slope and harder to "track").

 

This is still an ongoing WIP, so thanks for the continued support and feedback! Please also make sure to checkout/show some love to some of the other lists that are out there:

Hi there, I'm new to this sub but it's been great so far. I've been lucky enough to go my whole life without worrying about my skin (thanks genetics, I guess?) but as a young adult, I've recently decided to atleast try and learn about makeup/skincare. I had a wonderful girl at Sephora give me a relaxing facial yesterday and I ended up walking away with FRESH products. I realized from reading this sub that there is a LOT that I don't know or ever realized was important. So with that, I'm thinking maybe I need a towel that is gentler for my face? I ordered a satin pillow case to help with my curly hair which apparently is also good for face but now I realize that my towels are coarse and probably irritate my skin.

TL;DR, I'm a skincare newbie looking for recommendations for a face towel(brand?) for sort-of sensitive skin. Thanks!

In my family we’ve always used the word Kleenex, no matter the brand. But now that Kleenex is going to be discontinued in Canada, I feel a little weird about it. If you also say “Kleenex”, are you going to continue using it even after Kleenex leaves Canada, or are you going try to switch your vocabulary to the more generic “tissue”?
