Cleansing your face is the foundation of an effective skincare routine. But sometimes, one cleanse isn't enough – especially if you wear makeup, sunscreen, or live in an urban environment.
Double cleansing means washing your face in two steps: first to dissolve oil and dirt, then to deep cleanse the skin. The result? Clearer, cleaner skin that better absorbs active ingredients from serums and creams.
What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing originated in Asia and has become a staple in many professional skincare routines.
Here’s how it works:
- Step 1 – oil-based cleanser that dissolves makeup, SPF, and sebum.
- Step 2 – water-based cleanser that cleanses the skin of sweat, dirt, and impurities.
