<p>The invention relates to a skin cleaning device that consists of textile structure and that is at least partially provided with lipophilic fibers. Due to the provision of lipophilic fibers the inventive skin cleaning device is especially useful for cleaning oily and mixed skin since the fibers impart to the device a higher fat absorption capacity as compared to conventional skin cleaning textiles. The inventive skin cleaning device is further very environmentally friendly as it allows to widely or completely avoid the use of fat-dissolving cleaning agents.</p>
