   Let your face dry on its own. Towels are often filled with bacteria, which is something you don't want to show up on your face that has just been washed off. Try to let the standing water drip down the sink, then let your face dry on its own. This will take longer, but acne-prone sensitive skin will thank you.
   • If you don't have the time and letting your skin dry on its own isn't really an option, use a clean towel to gently pat dry. Using a washcloth can irritate the skin, so gentle blotting is the way to go.
