I recently bought some of these fabulous Washi hot cloths for cleansing after seeing someone Tweet about them. They are just a complete and simple joy. Somewhat thinner than regular flannels, they aren’t meant for long-term use particularly, but they retain heat nicely to make your cleanse (particularly with balm cleansers) more effective.
I also bought one of the newer products, the Washi Skin Polishing Towel, that is more abrasive than normal towels and should be used dry on damp skin to give a gentle exfoliation.
They’re not expensive at £5.45 for a pack of seven Washi cloths or £1.75 for a Skin Polishing Towel and they feel more hygienic (and more tactile) than the old muslin cloths which are almost impossible to get clean again.

I’m kind of old fashioned with my washing so towels and wash cloths get a 90 degree wash with washing powder. The muslin cloths then get a quick iron and come out pristine. I just wish Liz Earle would edge the muslin cloths with cotton as the thread sometimes catches on the iron.
Do they exfoliate as well as muslin cloths? They look great but like they might be a bit too soft…
I just got mine too – aren’t they lovely the way they are packaged? I haven’t even unwrapped them yet as I wanted to photograph the packaging *weirdo alert*

I’m looking for something besides muslin or the usual washcloth. Thanks for this.
