One-Minute Skincare: The Power of 60 Seconds for a Radiant Complexion

A pharmacist recommends the ‘one-minute rule’ for cleansing your skin to improve its appearance and promote mindfulness. By using gentle cleansers and massaging them into the skin for 60 seconds, you can effectively remove dirt and makeup while preserving the skin’s natural protective barrier. Additionally, incorporating self-care practices during this time can enhance mental and emotional well-being.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Face Wash: The 60-Second Cleanse

Spending just a little more time washing your face can lead to brighter, clearer skin, especially for those with acne-prone skin. Dermatologists recommend massaging cleanser into your skin for a full minute (or more) to give the active ingredients enough time to penetrate. For those new to skincare or who like to keep a streamlined routine, increasing your cleansing time is an easy way to boost your results without adding any new products. To get the most out of your cleanse, use lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser. Pay extra attention to any trouble zones. Makeup wearers may need longer than 60 seconds to adequately remove all makeup. Wash your face both morning and night if you don’t have dry skin, but if you only have time for one, choose night time.
