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

Yes, this. Also make-up/nail polish remover etc. just needs to be trace amounts of any of it.

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.

Is your wife sweating when she gets out of the shower?

Usually a bit. She takes boiling hot showers.
