There are a number of beauty rules that are second nature to us.

If you’re doing a red lip always line.

Moisturizer before face oils.

And kindly, never ever go to sleep with your makeup on.

There really isn’t a skincare struggle that isn’t made worse by not thoroughly cleansing your face.

Is TikTok’s 15-minute cleansing challenge really worth the hype?

What is 15-minute oil cleansing?

It all began when TikToker @opulentjadeshared her best-kept secret to tackling blackheads.

The idea sounds simple enough, as said aesthetician Nayamka Roberts-Smith explained, “Oil dissolves oil.

Oil cleanser attracts lipids in your pores and on the surface of your skin to wash it away.

Too much of a good thing can often lead to clogging your pores and resulting in breakouts.

It’s not officially deemed unnecessary, however.

Co-founder of The Inkey List, Mark Curry, is a huge supporter of the method, perBustle.

This trend could lead to further pore clogging and additional build-up/production of sebum long term.”

It looks like another mind-boggling TikTok trend with no clear verdict.
