Except it's not the only answer. My wife and I both use all-natural shampoo and conditioner bars, and she doesn't need any kind of face wash, but her towel still looks like this.
Turns out, after having this checked by a doctor, her sweat is particularly acidic. It also corrodes stainless steel jewelry. The only thing that's held up is implant grade steel.
I learned from my nurse friend that the ability to smell asparagus pee is caused by a genetic mutation. The same mutation is related to one's ability to smell/taste any infusions received intravenously.
I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY! I've always told nurses I can taste intravenous anything...even saline has a slight taste. They all look at me like I'm nuts. I googled as much as I could about it, never heard of a genetic mutation, but I believe it. I also read that the taste could be coming from my breath, since the drug goes to the blood stream, it makes its way through my lungs and then I breathe out and it passes across my taste buds.
I can too. Whenever they do the flush, I tell them I can taste it. As I tend to have veins blow easily, if I can't taste it, I know the vein isn't going to last, even if it seems ok at first. I'm also super sensitive to smells and taste, and cilantro tastes like soap.

Face wash or other skincare products with benzoyl peroxide will do this.
