Buy IKEA face towels or face cloths
A good face towel does more than dry your skin, it's part of your everyday self-care routine. At IKEA, we design face towels and face cloth options that combine softness, absorbency and easy care, so a simple task like washing your face feels a little more comfortable, every single day.
Our range of face towels is built around everyday practicality. Whether you want soft face towels for sensitive skin, a face cloth for quick clean-ups, or a stack of face napkins for the whole family, we offer options in different sizes, colours and materials to suit different bathrooms and routines. Explore our wider collection of home textiles to find pieces that work together across your bathroom and beyond.
Face towels are also one of the easiest ways to refresh a bathroom's look without a full makeover. Pair them with matching hand and bath towels and mats to pull together a coordinated, calming space.
How to choose the right face towels and face cloths
With so many soft face towels and face cloth styles to choose from, it helps to think about a few practical details before you buy.
Consider the fabric and softness
The fabric determines how a face towel feels against your skin. Soft face towels made from pure cotton terry are gentle and absorbent, while lighter weaves dry faster and feel breathable, useful for warmer climates or frequent use.
Think about size and use
A smaller face cloth is easy to handle for quick washes, while a slightly larger face towel offers more coverage for daily face-drying. Face napkins in compact sizes are handy for guests, travel or keeping near the sink for quick wipes.
Look at absorbency and drying speed
A good face towel should absorb moisture quickly without feeling heavy or taking long to dry. This is especially useful for humid bathrooms or households where towels are used frequently through the day.
Fabric, softness & design features of IKEA face towels
At IKEA, we design face towels and face cloth options that hold up to daily use while staying gentle on skin. Here's what shapes our range.
Cotton terry construction
Many of our face towels are made from cotton terry, a soft, looped fabric known for its absorbency. The natural fibres help the towel feel gentler with every wash, making it a comfortable choice for daily face care.
Woven textures for better performance
Some of our soft face towels feature woven stripes or textured patterns. These aren't just decorative, they help improve absorbency and support quicker drying, so your face towel stays fresh between washes.
Compact face cloth options
A face cloth is a smaller, more versatile option, ideal for gentle cleansing, makeup removal or quick everyday wipe-downs. Their compact size makes them easy to store, carry and launder in bulk.
Care, washing & maintenance tips for face towels
Face towels come into contact with your skin every day, so proper care matters. A few simple habits can help keep them soft, clean and long-lasting.
Wash before first use
New face towels and face cloth sets often reach their full absorbency only after the first wash, so it's worth laundering them before you use them for the first time.
Avoid fabric softener
Fabric softeners can coat the fibres of a face towel and reduce its ability to absorb moisture. Skipping softener helps your soft face towels stay effective wash after wash.
Wash at the right temperature
Following the recommended washing temperature on the care label helps protect the fabric of your face towels and face napkins, keeping them soft and reducing shrinkage over time.
Dry and store properly
Letting your face cloth or towel dry fully before folding and storing helps prevent musty odours and keeps the fabric fresh for its next use.
FAQs
What's the difference between a face towel and a face cloth?
A face towel is generally used to dry your face after washing, while a face cloth is smaller and often used for cleansing or wiping. Many households use both together as part of a daily routine.
Are soft face towels suitable for sensitive skin?
Soft face towels made from pure cotton terry are generally gentle on skin, making them a suitable choice for sensitive skin types. Avoiding fabric softener during washing can help maintain their softness over time.
How often should I replace my face towels?
There's no fixed rule, but replacing face towels when they start to feel less absorbent or show visible wear can help maintain good everyday hygiene and comfort.
Can face napkins be used for guests?
Yes, face napkins are a practical option for guests, as they're compact, easy to launder in bulk, and offer a fresh option for each use without committing to full-sized towels.
How do I keep my face cloth soft after multiple washes?
Washing at the recommended temperature, avoiding fabric softener, and letting the cloth dry fully before storing can all help maintain the softness and absorbency of your face cloth over time.
