Towel expiration date for skin protection

I recently saw a post about a beauty routine where someone mentioned not using a towel, so I looked it up out of curiosity. It turns out there are quite a few famous celebrities who don't use towels and instead let their skin absorb moisture naturally.

It is said that towels should be replaced after about one to two years of use.

It is said that old towels become rough, irritating the skin and increasing the likelihood of bacteria penetrating the rough surface.

Also, I hear that old towels contain a really high amount of bacteria, no matter how thoroughly you wash them.

I need to start by organizing the towels in the bathroom drawer.
