If you’re a skincare enthusiast, you’ve surely heard of double cleansing. Originating in Korea and slowly going viral around the world, double cleansing is the most effective and also the gentlest way to achieve deep cleansing of the face without affecting the skin barrier.
In this article I will explain the benefits of double cleansing and how to carry it out properly.
How does it work?
Double cleansing is a facial cleansing technique that involves two steps: the first with an oil-based cleanser and the second with a foaming cleanser. This method is especially effective in removing all the impurities that accumulate on the skin during the day, such as makeup, excess sebum, sunscreen and pollution.
What are the benefits?
Deep cleansing: Using an oil-based cleanser as a first step helps dissolve makeup and sebum, which can be difficult to remove with classic cleansers. This ensures a deeper and more thorough cleaning. Oil-based cleansers dissolve even waterproof and stubborn make-up without the need to scrub. Who has never had their eyelashes broken to remove mascara?
Skin becomes healthier: effectively removing impurities helps prevent skin problems such as acne, blackheads and clogged pores. Clean skin is also more receptive to subsequent treatments, such as serums and moisturizers. Basically, double cleansing will enhance all the other steps in your skincare routine!
Skin texture improves: regular deep cleansing can improve skin texture, making it smoother, softer, and seemingly younger!
