How handkerchief causes skin infections: The growing humidity due to heat and monsoon has become a headache for the people. There is no relief even after wiping sweat from the handkerchief. Actually doing so can become a disaster. This causes damage to the skin and can also cause many skin infections.
Often people use the same handkerchief all day. Actually the handkerchief gets wet after wiping sweat at once. Dust, oil and dirt start freezing in it. Due to being wet, bacteria grow rapidly in it. If it wipes sweat again, bacteria spread on the skin. This closes the pores, causing pimples. The fungus is also quick on the wet handkerchief, which can lead to fungal infection.
Skin may be irritated
Applying handkerchiefs on the face several times a day can make the skin red. Actually a handkerchief is a cloth that causes friction when the skin is wiped. This rub is damaged to the upper layer of the skin and can turn red. Not only this, people who have dry, acne prone or sensitive skin can also be jealous.
Wiping the sweat of the mouth with repeated handkerchiefs, the nature oil of the skin starts removing. This causes the skin to lose its moisture and remains dry. This stretch and dryness causes premature wrinkles. For this reason, the skin deteriorates quickly with the rays of the sun.

The best way to dry sweat is air. When sweating, sit in front of fans, coolers or AC. This will make the sweat dry on its own. Actually, sweating comes out only when body temperature increases. In such a situation, he keeps himself cool and the body temperature is cured. Sitting in the air keeps this temperature maintained. Apart from this, keep more than 1 handkerchief with you. The handkerchief is always soft i.e. cotton. Avoid a handkerchief made of thick or rough cloth. You can also wipe sweat with dry paper tissue. It is used and throw, so it is also less likely to spread bacteria. Do not touch the face again and again with hands. If the handkerchief is to be touched, then handwash first.
