The 4-2-4 rule is a structured cleansing technique inspired by Asian skincare routines. It breaks your facial cleansing into three time-specific phases: 4 minutes of oil cleansing: Use a cleansing oil or balm to massage your face for about 4 minutes. This helps dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum, effectively breaking down impurities. 2 minutes of foam cleansing: Follow up with a water-based cleanser for about 2 minutes.

The 4-2-4 rule is a structured cleansing technique inspired by Asian skincare routines. It breaks your facial cleansing into three time-specific phases:

4 minutes of oil cleansing: Use a cleansing oil or balm to massage your face for about 4 minutes. This helps dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum, effectively breaking down impurities.
2 minutes of foam cleansing: Follow up with a water-based cleanser for about 2 minutes. This step removes any residual impurities and ensures that the oil cleanser is thoroughly washed away.
4 minutes of rinsing: Rinse your face for a total of 4 minutes. Often, this is split into 2 minutes with warm water—to help open pores and further loosen any remaining debris—and 2 minutes with cool water—to help close pores and refresh the skin.

This method not only aims for a deep, yet gentle, clean but also encourages better blood circulation and helps maintain a balanced skin barrier. Keep in mind that while many find this approach effective, it’s always good to adjust the timings to suit your skin’s needs.
