A Guide to Double Cleansing

The Necessity of Double Cleansing Your Face

When it comes to skincare, cleansing is the cornerstone of a healthy, glowing complexion. But is a single cleanse enough to remove the dirt, makeup, and pollution our skin faces daily? Enter double cleansing: a two-step method that ensures your skin is truly clean, balanced, and ready to absorb skincare products effectively.

What Is Double Cleansing?
Double cleansing involves using two types of cleansers: an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based one. The first step breaks down makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum, while the second step removes water-based impurities like sweat and dirt.

Why Is It Necessary?

Thorough Makeup Removal: Even the best single cleanser can struggle to remove stubborn makeup and waterproof sunscreen.

Improved Skin Health: A deeper cleanse prevents clogged pores, reducing the chances of breakouts and dullness.

Boosted Skincare Efficacy: Clean skin allows serums and moisturizers to penetrate more effectively, maximizing their benefits.

Who Needs It?
Double cleansing is especially beneficial for those who wear makeup, use heavy sunscreen, or live in polluted areas. Even if you prefer a bare-faced look, this method ensures your skin stays fresh and healthy.

How to Get Started:

Use an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup and oils.Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser.  And remember to always wash your hands before you start cleansing!
