May one wash his face before drying his hands from the washing water?
Some<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> write that one is to dry his hands from the morning washing water prior to rinsing his face. Alternatively one is to pour a fourth time over his hands and he may then rinse his face. This applies even when one is washing a second time after using the bathroom.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a>
<a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1">[1]</a> Machazik Bracha 4:2; Kaf Hachaim 4:8; See however Piskeiy Teshuvos 4:3
<a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2">[2]</a> As also the bathroom contains an impure spirit and hence one is to avoid placing this water on his face. [ibid]
