Why we love it: Even if you're not sold on the charcoal claims, this towel is undoubtedly soft and absorbent. I've personally had a Facesoft towel for about three years, and I'm impressed with how much sweat it absorbs and how it stays smell-free after so many uses and washes.

You can use a gym towel to wipe sweat from your face or clean machines when you’re using them. You can also place a yoga towel over your mat before class, as it can absorb sweat and allow you to get a better grip with your hands and feet (this can be especially helpful during hot yoga). We like that you can layer this towel on top of your yoga mat dry or spray it with water for an even better grip. Rest assured that your hands and feet will stay put, no matter how tough your class gets.The Waffl Towel is easy to toss into your gym bag, as its thin design takes up less space. The waffle pattern isn’t just functional: It’s stylish, too, and comes in a range of bright colors. But the large, embroidered logo may be unpleasant to some. And that's where gym towels come in. If you don't sweat much, there's no need for a towel, Dr. Gohara says, but for everyone else, "gym towels are great for those who feel as though sweat is accumulating on their skin." If sweat sits on your skin for an extended period of time or dries there, it can clog pores, leading to leading to acne and preventing your skin-care routine from properly penetrating your skin. A good rule of thumb is that if sweat drips off your skin, consider a towel, Dr. Gohara says. Why we love it: The 74- by 26-inch towel is equal parts grippy on the bottom and plush on the top, making it a go-to for any mat work. One hot yoga shopper raves: "It stays in place for all 26 postures even when soaking wet." Plus, it's machine washable (on cold) for easy cleaning.

However, some users note that the fabric clings to itself, even after a few washes.Gym towels are a must-have in your gym bag.

As for which towel? You can use the communal ones provided at your gym (they should be fine as long as they're soft and not irritating to your skin), but Dr. Gohara prefers to bring her own from home because then "you know where it's been."
