ANECDOTE

28-Day No Wash Skin Experiment

  • A reporter stopped washing her face for 28 days as a Daily Mail experiment.
  • Her skin became red, blotchy, and aged nearly 10 years visibly in a month.
ADVICE

60 Second Cleansing Rule

  • Wash your face for at least 60 seconds to deeply cleanse the skin.
  • Longer cleansing reduces breakouts and improves skin smoothness and clarity.
ADVICE

Choose Soap-Free, pH-Balanced Cleansers

  • Use soap-free cleansers with a pH close to the skin’s natural level (4.5 to 5.5).
  • Avoid soaps and harsh surfactants like SLS to preserve your skin barrier and prevent irritation.
