drying off
Removing water dropwise
Drying off is the process of removing moisture from something, typically the body after bathing or swimming: She grabbed a towel and started drying off.
The phrase emphasizes completion—you dry off until you're no longer wet.
It can apply to objects left to air dry: The dishes are drying off on the rack.
