Cotton hand and face towels are preferred for their features such as softness, absorbency and durability. Here are the basic features of cotton towels:

1. **High Absorbency**: Since cotton is a natural fiber, it absorbs water quickly. This provides fast and effective drying when drying hands and face.

2. **Softness**: Cotton towels are gentle on the skin and give a soft feel. They are ideal for sensitive skin.

3. **Durability**: Quality cotton towels are long-lasting and resistant to frequent washing. They do not shrink or fade.

4. **Air Permeability**: Since cotton fibers are air permeable, towels dry quickly, which prevents the formation of bacteria and mold.

5. **Natural and Hypoallergenic**: Since cotton is a natural material, it generally does not cause skin irritation and reduces the risk of allergic reactions.

6. **Various Weaving Types**: The weaving types of cotton towels (such as terry, velvet, muslin) vary depending on the purpose of use. While thick towels provide more absorbency, those with a thin texture are lighter and dry faster.

Cotton hand and face towels are generally ideal for daily use because they are both comfortable and practical.
