What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing means washing your face twice in the evening: first with an oil-based cleanser, then with a water-based cleanser. The first step melts sunscreen, makeup and excess sebum; the second removes sweat and remaining impurities.
Step 1 – Oil cleanser
Massage a cleansing oil or balm onto dry skin for about a minute, add a little water to emulsify, then rinse.
Step 2 – Water-based cleanser
Use a gentle, low-pH foam or gel cleanser to finish. Avoid cleansers that leave your skin feeling tight.
Who should double cleanse?
Anyone who wears sunscreen or makeup can benefit. Oily and acne-prone skin especially love it because it keeps pores clear without harsh scrubbing.
