@happilyalive A key thing is to be very gentle on your face and skin. Some people use products made for babies, but I found just old-fashioned things were better. It is called Equate All Day Moisturizing Lotion for Sensitive Skin. If you find the liquid castile soap, you'll only need a small bottle. A little goes long way! Get the unscented. A cotton washcloth is simply rows back and forth. No fuss, no special stitches, just single or half double crochet. It gets softer with use.

I am looking forward to getting out the crochet needles and yarn this weekend to practice the stitches by working to make a washcloth. Thanks for the insight on how to do it. Even if I bomb it this weekend, it will still be fun. 🙂 I'm smiling that it will get softer with more use. Thank you.

I looked up the Equate All Day Moisturizer Lotion for Sensitive Skin, it seemed to be too good to be true. The price was right for sure. But I see one of the ingredients is phenoxyethanol, a preservative which is one of the newer preservatives replacing the dreaded MI/MCI but testing shows I am allergic to the phenoxyethanol too.
Preservatives are put in for the benefit of the maker not for the consumer. They can make up giant batches of this product so it lasts for decades. As a consumer I don't need a moisturizer to last for decades.
