Be honest, how long do you spend cleansing your face? Be it with a scrub, a wipe, a cloth and cleanser? We’d be willing to hazards a guess that you do the washing part for just long enough to feel like you went over your whole face, MAYBE your neck if you’re super conscientious, and that’s where you stop. Well, we’ve got news for you…you should be cleansing your face for a MINIMUM of one minutes. If you want to make sure your skin in thoroughly clean and free from sebum, daily dirt and environmental pollution, you need to be counting to sixty-Mississippi.
It takes longer than you might think for most cleansing products to break down the dirt and oils on your face, and when you rinse your cleanser off after just a cursory sweep, not only are you not getting your face properly clean, you’re effectively wasting the products you spent your hard-earned money on! Here are some products that we recommend for your new, longer, cleansing routing:

This cleansing milk from Decleor might be delicate enough for sensitive skin, but it offers a professional level cleanse which will help to keep your complexion fresh. It contains green tea essential water and sweet almond oil, which combine to soothe your skin and offer moisturisation during the cleansing process.
