A dermatologist warns that washcloths harbor bacteria, and HuffPost's shopping team responds with a recommendation for disposable plant-based face towels sold on Amazon and Target, complete with affiliate links.

The towels are described as the number two bestseller in their Amazon category, with 23,000 five-star ratings and at least one reviewer promising lifelong loyalty. The piece leans on that reviewer enthusiasm and the dermatologist's general caution about reused cloths to make its case.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Nothing here is false, exactly — washcloths can indeed be gross — but dressing an affiliate-link roundup in the borrowed authority of 'dermatologists say' is a genre unto itself. The real product being sold is the illusion that this is health reporting.
