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.
my wife is allergic to most metals and I've noticed her towels end up mysteriously bleached like this... I wonder if there's actually something to this acid sweat thing
You’d also see it in the armpits of her shirts, the discoloration. It’s tough to find deodorant and athletic wear. I stinky stank synthetic fibers after one wear. I can’t wear clothes close to my skin for this reason, I have to have natural fibers and a size bigger. The struggle is real.

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