I’ve never really had horrible acne, but it feels like my skin always has at least a couple blemishes on it. I’ve tried tons of different acne products, face masks, cleansers, and lotions, but none have really had a dramatic effect. But, I recently read about a face washing trend that has been helping out tons of girls online!
This method is called the 60-second rule! When most people wash their face, they really only wash it for about 15 seconds. But, this length of time really doesn’t allow your cleanser to actually do its job! If you commit to washing your face for at least a full 60 seconds, it softens your skin and can help improve the texture and evenness of your skin!
While this may sound like a fairly obvious and simple trick, it’s actually very important! Dirt and oil are actually fairly difficult to remove from the skin. Also, if you enjoy wearing lots of makeup on a regular basis (like me), you need to give your cleanser a good amount of time to fully break down the products and oils on your skin so it doesn’t just remain stuck in your pores.
While you may still need special treatment plans if you have more serious forms of cystic acne, this technique can definitely help clear up smaller problems like forehead bumps and skin texture, while giving you a glowy appearance! With no need to spend more money on other skincare products, why not give it a try?
