My Skin Did This When I Tried the 60 Second Routine

Skin Care is one of the few things I like to switch up every so often. Usually it’s a new product; a new cream or mask I found. Recently I watched a video on Youtube about washing your face for 60 seconds. Here is the link to that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9yyZ9PysjI . It can change the texture of your skin, help with breakout AND hyperpigmentation. I had to try it! I’ve been doing this for a few weeks and there are some major changes I’ve seen. The biggest change I have noticed is the texture. My skin has always been very textured, but since starting with the 60 second rule, there is a MAJOR reduction in the visible texture of my skin. Also, my skin has a glow to it even without makeup. But also… my skin went through a “purge” after the first week. If you’ve read my previous article, you know I attributed the breakouts I was having to me stopping birth control, I also thought maybe I had been eating too much chocolate (yes, I know but it’s so good). It turns out when you begin to cleanse your skin the right way, any build up oil, or underlying acne will come to the surface in a sort of “purging” of the skin. However, do not be discouraged, because after you skin gets its life in order you’ll be left with skin to die for!

Hey! My name is Caleisha Braxton and I currently attend Delaware State University for a degree in Mass Communications. From a young age, speaking to people and writing were my strongest attributes and I decided to pursue a career in Public Relations. Im from the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Growing up in the inner city of West Philadelphia shaped me to become a strong-willed and independent person. Regardless of my background, I prevailed to become a 4.0 student in college. Being from the area I am, I want to be successful to make both my family and community proud, especially since I am I First Generation College student.I use writing to relax myself and also to inform others.
Born and raised in sunny California but am currently attending DESU. Studying mass communications & theatre. Hopefully you'll see me on TV some day but for now, you can read some of my articles!
