massakur 0 Posted August 21, 2006 i read on numerous websites you should wash your face for 30 seconds to a minute, but dan says wash for 10 seconds or less. for those that have washed for 30-60 seconds and for 10 seconds or less, did you see any difference? does it really matter how long you wash your face for? i would think 10 seconds wouldnt be enough, but im not really sure. what do you guys personally think and how long do you guys wash your face for? i use purpose cleansing bar fyi.

Yes it really matters - to much washing can dry you face which can cause more acne so just wash until most of dirt is gone and then stop - it only takes 10 seconds for me and i'm pretty sure that more washing wont do any good - it will just make my face more dry.

brandolynn 286 Posted August 23, 2006 I'm a deviant on this part! lol. I do wash more than 10 secs. in the evening to be sure I get all my makeup off. I usually lather up, wash for a few secs. rinse, then wash again to be sure it is all off. So that's two quick washes rather than one. In the morning though, I'm pretty quick about it since there isn't any makeup to worry about getting off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EvaHonestly 1 Posted August 23, 2006 I also wash longer when I need to remove makeup. I also wash longer if it's a cleanser that smells really good, I'm such a child. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marco23 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Oops I probably wash for about 10 20 seconds with regular soap but not with proactiv cleanser there I wash for 1 minute with the soap, however correct me if i'm wrong, 10 seconds is with soap i can't possibly wash and rinse in 10 seconds, so I guess the amount of time with water doesn't matter as it's the case when taking a shower. Water can do no harm nor can it dry you in fact it is moisturizing you. Thats how I see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marco23 0 Posted August 25, 2006 it's gentle and doesn't irritate so I see no problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moire pattern 0 Posted August 26, 2006 I wash for 10 seconds, but it's the rinsing that can take a while. Although gentle, the CSR cleanser can require quite a bit of water until it feels like I've rinsed completely (even when I use a a single pump).

tooshort 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Yeah, this is something I had a problem with at first as well. I think the 10 second wash is just to get most of the surface dirt and oil off. Its the BP that will actually do the cleansing and killing of p.acne bacteria, thats why so much is required. So, now I just stick to the video to a tee.
