The 60‑second rule: Unlock radiant skin with proper cleansing

Daily skincare should be part of every woman's routine if she wants to have healthy and beautiful skin. However, if you diligently care for your skin but still don't see results, you might be washing your face too quickly or skipping this step altogether. Understanding the importance of proper skin cleansing is crucial!

What is the 60-second rule?

We often wash our faces hastily, especially before work or school, without taking the time for thorough skincare. Proper cleansing is essential. If you neglect or rush through this step, all other treatments will be ineffective. Active ingredients in skincare products cannot penetrate the barrier of residual makeup, dirt, or sebum.

The 60-second rule involves washing your face with a designated foam or gel for a full minute. This extended time helps remove excess impurities accumulated throughout the day and night. It's a habit worth adopting both in the morning and evening.

What benefits does it provide?

This method might not seem important initially, but spending a full sixty seconds washing your face can benefit your skin significantly. It removes all dirt, and the massaging motion improves circulation and firms the skin. Cleansing products don't work instantly; they become effective after several seconds. To ensure these products reach every nook and cranny of your skin, it's essential to wash thoroughly and for the full minute.

Well-cleansed skin allows subsequent skincare products to be absorbed more effectively. If you want your creams, serums, or toners to work properly, remember this step is crucial. Additionally, before starting the cleansing process, always remove makeup with micellar water. Regular use of this technique can help combat imperfections, prevent blackheads, and even out skin tone.
