Did you know that washing your face for just one minute can make a huge difference in your skin's health? According to Nayamka Roberts-Smith, a U.S.-based esthetician, this simple technique is called the '60 second rule.'

As conceptualised by Nayamka, the '60 second rule' involves massaging a facial cleanser into your skin for at least one minute to deeply cleanse your pores and prevent future breakouts. This technique is easy to follow and requires just a good cleanser and your fingers.

Starting with clean hands, lather your cleanser between them to create foam. Then, gently massage your face in circular, upward motions while being gentle around the delicate eye area. You can use a timer to countdown from 1 minute, or sing the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as recommended by Nayamka.

Afterwards, pat-dry your face with a paper towel or clean face towel, followed by your regular skin care routine. This facial massage not only deep cleans your skin, but it also increases blood circulation to your face, giving you radiant, glowing skin.

Try this simple skin care secret for a week and you will definitely see a clear difference. And the best part? You don't need an expensive cleanser or any fancy tools to make it work.
