What is the 60-second rule?

We often wash our faces quickly and in a rush, especially before work or school, leaving no time for thorough skincare. Proper cleansing is essential. If you don't perform this step correctly, all other treatments will be in vain. Ingredients from active cosmetics won't be able to penetrate the barrier of leftover makeup, dirt, or oil.

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. Thus, we should incorporate this habit into our lives and practise it both in the morning and evening.

What benefits does it provide?

This method may not seem very important initially, but if you swap a few seconds for sixty, your skin will thank you. Not only will you remove all dirt from your face, but by massaging the product, you will also improve circulation and firm this area. The ingredients in cleansing products don't work immediately but after several seconds. Therefore, to ensure that the cosmetics reach every nook and cranny of the skin, it must be done carefully and within this allocated time.

Well-cleansed skin will make the subsequent steps in your skincare routine easier to absorb and more effective. So, if you want your cream, serum, or toner to work properly, remember this. However, before you start cleansing, never forget to remove makeup with micellar water. Regularly using this technique can help fight imperfections, prevent blackheads, and even out skin tone.
