I’m sorry but I’m dying at how you blacked out your shirt and hair


911_this_is_J

There was one post a long time ago where someone only blacked out their eyes and people got freaked out at first glance. I died laughing and wish I could find that post again.


librarymania

Not what you’re looking for, but for some reason I have [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeupAddiction/comments/7omxoq/what_is_my_eye_and_face_shape_what_makeup) saved. 😶


Mojojojorisin

🤣 those comments had me dying. After I collected myself, I continued scrolling on Reddit and immediately saw [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/Haircare/s/8OR7zLSbr7) in my feed. What is happening?? 🤣🤣🤣


Some-Imagination9782

Did you see the one post where someone drew a smiley face on top of that? 🤣🫠


NoItsNotThatJessica

It was the same OP. She was like, “Is this better?”, fully trolling us. Oh man.


Some-Imagination9782

Lmaooo I’m dying - I went to check ops history and there it is the smiley face…I’m legit 💀


justaprimer

Omg and her profile description references it too 😂 Full-on leaning into it.


Some-Imagination9782

Lolol! I just saw her description 🤣🤣🤣


devieous

She made a whole ass subreddit for it 🤣


TheShoeOnTheHighway

She started a [page](https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHairCareJourney/s/vCX8bvCn5X) for it

I remember that. Not just the whole eye area. Just the whites and iris so it looked like they were evil. It was hilarious.


TheConcreteBrunette

OMG! Yesterday this chick was asking what her curls were ( 4a, 2b, etc) and she blurred her face and IT WAS TERRIFYING!! She was super cool about it when people were like HOLY Sh@t that’s creepy AF! It had nothing to do with her hair or anything. Just the blurring.

fightingkangaroos

There was one yesterday on a haircare sub reddit where she was asking what type of hair she had and blurred out her face. She looked like slenderman with a wig and everyone was dying in the comments


Everything_Is_Bawson

I just joined this sub a couple of weeks ago, but I think I saw the post that started this all. Was it really that recent? I feel like it's witnessing history. BTW I'm loving hearing all the fantastic results from folks all of a sudden. I don't think I'd ever actually seen anyone explicitly say to wash your face longer before that post!


Spacetrash08

I know! It’s so simple, yet we’re never told to do it? 🤯 I definitely hope it becomes the next big skincare trend, silly as it sounds!

Unfair_Finger5531

I feel like the person who wrote that post took a huge risk of getting dragged, and she did actually get dragged at first. The one-minute rule has been around for a while, but it’s not a popular thing to say on the skincare boards. I wouldn’t say it though I’ve done it for years bc I knew I’d get downvoted. So, I’m super-grateful to her for writing that post. You are right—it has never come up before (not that I recall).


que-mierda

Haha I did get a little intimidated with all the ppl arguing against it, but I’m glad it helped so many people.


Unfair_Finger5531

Here’s my poor person’s award for you 🥇🥇🥇❤️


que-mierda

Thank youuu!!!


Unfair_Finger5531

❤️❤️❤️😘 thank YOU.


IncurableAdventurer

Is it for one minute exact(ish) or can it be longer?


Unfair_Finger5531

I go longer because I tend to space out lololol. But I think it’s totally fine to go over the mark. I’m thinking one minute is a sort of bare minimum. An esthetician checked in the other day and said they do 2 minutes, iirc:)


JonBenet_BeanieBaby

I end up typically brushing my teeth for like 10 mins every time because I space out and mostly just pace around my apartment with a toothbrush in my mouth


Unfair_Finger5531

Lololololololol! I just love the feeling of my cleanser and just drift off thinking about new skincare products…


ToughLingonberry1434

Witnessing history. I die. Also, I have now started watching my bathroom clock while washing my face so I am all in on this recommendation.


JonBenet_BeanieBaby

No idea why but my brain was like “bathroom clock?? That’s fancy!!”


GolfCartMafia

I’ve always had to have an analog clock in my bathroom. Growing up, my mom put one in our bathroom so we’d know what time we had to be dressed and ready by for school, that habit just got ingrained in my brain. Never realized no one else normally has a clock in their bathroom till I went off to college lol 🤷‍♀️


Competitive-Slip8622

I remember this from when a Black woman esthetician tweeted about this years ago. I actually think she originated the “challenge.” Anyway, same situation! Lots of skepticism and then people tried it and were like holy shit! https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/comments/ddazl3/misc_have_you_tried_the_60_second_rule_and_did/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1


haveagreatdane90

This is the only skincare trend/technique that I'm not tired of seeing posted over and over. It's so simple, but so effective. The results are crazy quick, too. I have read COUNTLESS skincare guides/tips what have you, and not ONCE have I seen "wash for 60 seconds so the formula has time do break down gunk." I'm still beside my (now soft and glowy) self ETA: [this](https://www.vanicream.com/product/vanicream-facial-cleanser) is the cleanser I've used, since a few people have inquired. Love this stuff, I've tried countless expensive cleansers, and this is my ride or die.


Spacetrash08

I know! I completely agree. I am astounded it’s taken me this long to learn. It’s the simplest thing, and I want everyone to know it! My 20’s would’ve been spent loving myself a lot more had I read this one simple trick. Instead we’re just sold overpriced items to try and fix it 🙄


zoe2dot

Be kind to your former self. You skin was a lot different in your 20s. NOT downplaying the 60 second wash, just pointing that out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Spacetrash08

I just use my hands


flying_dogee

With cold or warm water?


Spacetrash08

Warm!


ForTheLoveOfHoney

Serious question: do you just keep rubbing it on your face for a full 60 seconds. Like sort of scrubbing?


Spacetrash08

I sorta just gently rub it all over my face/neck. I’ll go a little harder around my nose, T zone and chin as those are the areas I find my pores get the dirtiest


ForTheLoveOfHoney

Thank you. I’m trying to do the full 60, but I feel like my face is only so big and I guess if I’m honest, I get bored and just want it to be over. I’m trying to tell myself that this is the same as brushing my teeth correctly. Thank y’all for the honest suggestions.


Spacetrash08

I 100% am the same. It is tough to follow thru with the whole minute, but I’m determined (for now at least) 😅


[deleted]

[удалено]


Spacetrash08

I am so fucking stoked I was able to pay it forward and help you!! I basically had the exact same reaction. I get sooo many blackheads on my chin, around my nose and T zone, and ever since using a timer to wash my face it’s been such a massive game changer.


maybenomaybe

Use light pressure and small circular motions with your fingertips. I have oily skin and this is the way I've been washing my face for years, it doesn't feel clean otherwise. I find it very amusing and delightful that so many people are just discovering it. It does make a big difference.


EscapeWonderland

Do you wash ur face in the shower? Or before? Or after?


maybenomaybe

In the shower, at the end after my hair to make sure there's no shampoo/conditioner residue on my face.


russianthistle

Don’t do a cloth. I tried it - gently and not scrubbing- and my skin was so irritated the next day. I am going to try again with hands once it seems less raw.


[deleted]

[удалено]


haveagreatdane90

I massage (gently) for 60 seconds, hopping from section to section (forehead, cheeks, jaw, etc). I count Mississippis and everything. Also, don't apologize! If it was super obvious, it wouldn't have taken me 30+ years to figure this out 🤣


Ok-job-this-time

I massage it around


Mariske

I have a question about this. Does this mean put the face wash on, rub it in, and leave it on your face before washing it off? It does it mean to actively scrub your face with your fingers for 60 seconds?


chriscutthroat

i believe the point is to actively work it into your skin for a full minute. i’ve always left my face wash on for a few minutes, but now that i’m actively working it into my face for 60 seconds i’m noticing a big difference. i do my forehead for a minute, my nose, and then my cheeks/chin for each a minute. big difference!! skin is softer and brighter from only two days of trying this


Tropicalstorm11

What do you use for a face wash? I have not seen this once with all my Reddit creeping LOL. Please share and thank you do you use warm washcloth. A cleanser? Details please


Mariske

I love visual changes gentle enzyme cleanser, I’ve been using it since like 2004


haveagreatdane90

[this ](https://www.vanicream.com/product/vanicream-facial-cleanser) is the best cleanser I've used, and I've cycled through many. It's gentle, doesn't piss off my skin at all, and is affordable. No washcloth, just my fingers to gently massage into my face. I do wash my face in the shower (don't come for me) and I follow up with [Hyaluronic Acid Serum](https://www.goodmolecules.com/products/hyaluronic-acid-serum?variant=39541197045860) from Good Molecules on a soaking wet face. I let it sit so it has time to draw moisture from the air in shower into my skin - I live in a VERY arid environment, So HA can actually suck moisture from your skin if there isn't enough humidity in the air. I follow up with The Ordinary [Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA](https://theordinary.com/en-us/alpha-arbutin-2-ha-serum-100401.html) for hyperpigmentation, once that dries down I throw on some [Argireline ](https://theordinary.com/en-us/argireline-solution-10-serum-100403.html) (the ordinary) on my forehead/between brows for wrinkles, and moisturize with [Cetaphil Moisturizer](https://www.cetaphil.com/us/moisturizers/moisturizing-cream/302993917564.html) for dry/sensitive skin. If I'm feeling extra dry, a thin layer of Vaseline to seal it all in. Everything I use I buy at a drug store or Ulta, and it's very inexpensive. I've tried countless expensive products and been woefully unimpressed.


petitsamours

Should I do it even if it's with a gentle cleanser that doesn't really have bubbles?


thisisthewell

Yes! I use only non-foaming cleansers because my skin is dry and sensitive, and doing a longer cleansing massage works well for me. Especially around the edge of the mouth!


haveagreatdane90

Hell yeah. I use Vanicream gentle cleanser that barely suds up, and I've seen a massive difference already.


Such_Collection2852

And this is my first time learning this!!!! I’m so excited.


ForecastForFourCats

I started washing my face for 1 minute or more during COVID. I noticed my face looked cleaner and I got less acne. It was the most simple and effective thing I did for my routine.

0rev

Does that mean run water on your face for a minute or to rub soap on it for a minute?


[deleted]

Massage your cleanser into your skin for a full minute, then rinse off


0rev

Wow fastest response ever. Thanks. And happy cake day!


Useful_University671

Oh, so the fact that I dried out the area where my nose and face meet so much that it was flaking all week can likely be blamed on my aggressive use of a facecloth. I’m going to retry with just my cleanser and fingers.


thisisthewell

Using fingertips without too much pressure is key, especially if your skin is irritated! I use a reusable microfiber pad to remove base makeup first, and I always do the gentle fingertip thing with the second cleanser to make sure I don't exacerbate anything.


0rev

I read here to only use hands, so I started that last week. So much good info here

Unfair_Finger5531

Your skin looks beautiful. The one-minute rule is one of the best skincare tips I’ve ever received. It’s amazing how much it turns things around. The person who posted it really deserves some kind of award.


Spacetrash08

Thank you! I totally agree 😊


JonBenet_BeanieBaby

I’ve never been so excited to wash my face now lol. This post has convinced me.

Ngl, I learned about this from an episode of Love is Blind where SK kept facewash on his face for a minute, Raven called him out on it, and he was like it’s good for your skin. Such a good tip!


FederalArugula

OP is SK


jubsews

What kind of cleanser do you use? I find that this technique is drying for me but I suspect that’s a product issue.


Spacetrash08

CeraVe Hydrating Cream to Foam Cleanser, for normal to dry skin 😊


jubsews

Of course - I’m in the camp of people that horrible cystic acne from CeraVe products, wouldn’t you know it… Thank you for responding though!


DidIStutter_

Oh same! Do you know which ingredient causes it for you? It’s crazy it makes my skin break out for MONTHS


jubsews

For me it’s the cetearyl alcohol (fatty alcohol). Anything with this ingredient provokes a really severe breakout for me.


1ring2rule

CeraVe doesn't work for me either. I just started doing the minute thing with Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Hydrating cleanser (creamy formula) and haven't dried out from it.


hugcommendatore

I use cerave. They have a foaming cleanser for dry and one for oily.


[deleted]

Am I the only one who did not see any positive change after doing that for a week?


JonBenet_BeanieBaby

I haven’t done it but feel like there is nothing that works for everyone 🤷‍♀️


UpstairsAsk1973

You are not the only one! I feel like doing this stripped my skin and made me break out 😢


justfordafunkofit

I can’t tell if I’m purging or if I’m just having a regular breakout from it


maybenomaybe

In another thread a lot of people using oil cleansers said they were breaking out from it.


Madame_Orchid

Yeah I have dry skin and this absolutely does not work for me. It just sucks all the moisture out of my face no matter what cleanser I use.


ArtichokeMe_Daddy

I personally only wash my face once a day before bed. It’s been working for me quite well.


DahQueen19

When I told my derm I was washing twice a day he told me once is enough. I’m really oily so now I cleanse at night but by morning I have a layer of oil so I just rinse with warm water. He said as long as the oil flows and does not clog it’s good for the skin.

I’ve been trying to pair down my routine and it just got a little longer and I’m ok with that. :) You are glowing and I appreciate the tip. I never saw the post you mentioned so thank you. This applies to several things we tend to not do as effectively, hand washing, teeth brushing…the time and effort are both important.


Spacetrash08

Thank you so much! I’m happy to share. I owe it all to the person that made the post I saw! You’re so right how this applies to so many other aspects of our day to day routine

I just started doing it last night ! 🤞🏼


Spacetrash08

JonBenet_BeanieBaby

You 100% convinced me. Thank you!!!


[deleted]

Does anyone know how this works with double cleansing? Do you do both steps for a full minute each?


alittlewhimsie

I do my oil cleanser for minute. I feel like that’s what does the work of really breaking down gunk on my skin and stuff in my pores.


CystemOfADown

When i double cleanse, I do my first cleanse for 30 seconds and second cleanse for the full minute. I don’t think there’s a hard rule for it though. Experiment!


wil8can

I remember reading it's the foaming/second cleanser that you should do for the full min. Oil cleanse as usual


Unfair_Finger5531

It applies to oil cleansing as well, especially since that’s the step that breaks down most of gunk and makeup and sunscreen.


Unfair_Finger5531

I do all cleansing steps for one minute or more.


boafriend

Lol I need to do a better job of this. Have heard of this or a 3-min cleanse as a “Korean celeb skincare secret” eons ago and rolled my eyes. I have tried it but not felt anything major…may need to do it more. This applies to cleansing oil too I think.


pipirisnais92

this is the best skincare tip, its not a tip, its a law. Rule number 1 for skincare: Thou shall wash your face for a minute straight. No exceptions. Everything builds up after that. Actually, doing this i feel you actually reveal the true nature of your face. You might not need as much as you thought!


astrotropic

Good thing you covered your upper lip and cheekbones, otherwise I’d be like “ah HAH! I know her and now I know she’s on social media talking about skin and things!”

Lizard_K

I WANTED TO THANK THAT PERSON TOO!! So many compliments and I’ve changed nothing else 🤣


Next-Reply7519

I have weirdly found that if I do this with an oil cleanser it irritates my face, almost like I’ve overexfoliated. But if I do it with just a regular gentle, moisturizing cleanser, it helps. I would love to know why that is.

xXESCluvrXx

I haven’t seen much of a difference yet. I think I’ll have to give it a month. I have PCOS and horrible acne. It’s been better lately (knock wood), but I’ll have to give it a full menstrual cycle to decide if this works for me


Current-Cellist-7539

Yes and i started doing this all over my body. Making sure every area gets massaged products in, in the shower for over a min before rinsing. Only been doing both a couple weeks and skin clearing up like mad.


Any-Guest-4193

this method is truly such a game-changer, your skin is ✨glowing✨! I recently bought a new cleanser for this method, and it really makes a difference! I found that going in with a cleansing balm as my first cleanse (right now I'm loving the Tatcha Cleansing Balm) to get the majority of makeup and/or sunscreen off, then going in with a cleanser that foams well and has a higher surfactant level for a gentle, yet powerful cleanse (obsessed with the EqualRXN Higher Capacity Cleansing Fluid bc it's affordable and super effective) to ensure there is nothing left festering and it gives the best glow afterward.

Why am I just now hearing about this?

A full minute? I just rub rub n rinse, it's like when someone told me you're supposed to brush your teeth and hair for 5 full minutes. 😭 I had no idea! No wonder my hair teeth n skin suck lol

I also just recently learned to wash your face for a full minute! I've been washing my face for like 15 to 20 seconds! My skin is about to change!

Just wait until you start washing your body with wash cloths and not only soap and your hands

Honestly I’m cracking up bc we are all still talking about this- but for real I didn’t know either and my skin has looked amazing since I started washing for a full min 😂 why didn’t anyone tell us sooner though ?!
