I just don’t want to mix them because I feel like it would make me less clean.
Relatedly, what’s the best way I can follow the Patrick Bateman skincare routine as a simplified version that’s actually practical to follow and contains the most important steps?
Something I learned taking college microbiology was that if you reuse towels for drying off make sure one end (like the end with the tag) is dedicated for your bottom half and the other for the top. That way you don’t accidentally get your genital flora in your eyes/face.
I did not learn this in college microbiology and I don’t think it’s something that’s genealogy taught. Lol

Could you have OCD?
It counts like you have a cleanliness compulsion. Which isn’t a huge deal, but if it gets burdensome then you might want to speak with a psychiatrist about it.
I do have a hair towel - two actually, one smooth cotton and one microfiber. Use these for styling, they don’t cause frizz and they get gunked up with conditioner and stuff so I’d not use them to dry off.
The rest of me gets one towel. As long as it has time to dry off between showers I figure it’s hygenic enough, and I wash it weekly. Husband uses two body towels but no hair towel as his hair is so very short.
If you are asking about a good and easy skincare routine - CeraVe unscented lotion is good enough for face and cheap enough for body. Wash whatever needs to be washed in the shower, dry off but not super dry, apply the CeraVe everywhere. After you get dressed in morning, a sunscreen for your face. If you have acne and/or are older, add prescription Tretinoin, apply that at night before bed.
It probably makes you less dirty, yes, but not to the point where you would get smelly.
The thing that’s not normal is that you don’t have a seperate towel for your ass, but you have two - for face and hair. I guess you do you

I am a dude with long hair, so I need a separate towel for my hair and one for everything else. I even learned how women do that towel turban thing when I grew my hair out.
