What Is Double Cleansing?

Why Is Double Cleansing Important?

What Is Double Cleansing?

Coming from the Korean beauty skincare trend, double cleansing is all about cleansing your face twice to achieve cleaner skin. The first step typically involves an oil-based cleanser, which helps to break down makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. The second step uses a cleanser to remove any remaining impurities, such as sweat and dirt.

When followed diligently, double cleansing can be quite a useful part of your skincare routine as it is suitable for all skin types, especially for sensitive skin too.

Why Is Double Cleansing Important?

1. Thoroughly Removes Makeup

Makeup and sunscreen are designed to adhere to your skin and last all day, which means they can be difficult to remove with just one cleanse. Oil-based cleansers are highly effective at dissolving these products, ensuring that your skin is free from residue. Without proper removal, these can clog pores, leading to breakouts and dullness.

2. Helps With Skin Texture

Regular double cleansing can improve your skin's texture ensuring pores are clean and free from impurities. Over time, this can lead to smoother skin and a reduction in the appearance of pores.

3. Helps Absorb Skincare Products Better

After double cleansing, your skin is clean and primed to absorb the active ingredients in your serums, moisturisers, and treatments. If your skin is not clean enough, these products will not show their effectiveness.

4. No breakouts!

If your skin isn't fully cleansed, leftover makeup, dirt, and oils can clog your pores, leading to acne and breakouts. Double cleansing helps prevent these issues by ensuring that all impurities are removed, reducing the chances of clogged pores and inflammation.

How To Double Cleanse

Step 1: Use an Oil-Based Cleanser

Start with an oil-based cleanser like the Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Jelly Oil. This product is perfect for the first step in double cleansing because it effectively dissolves makeup without leaving behind a greasy residue. The jelly oil formula is gentle, making it suitable for sensitive skin, and it leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated after use.

To use, apply a small amount of the jelly oil to dry skin and gently massage in circular motions, focusing on areas with heavy makeup or buildup. Emulsify with water and wash off.

Step 2: Use a Water/Gel-Based Cleanser

After using an oil-based cleanser, follow it up with a gentle water/gel-based cleanser like our Refreshing Facial Wash. This 100% soap-free cleanser is gentle on the skin ensuring it remains hydrated and balanced.

Apply the cleanser on damp skin, massage well and finally rinse with lukewarm water. Pat dry using a soft towel.

Who Can Double Cleanse?

Double cleansing is for all skin types. It starts with an oil-based cleanser and you can wrap it up with your usual facial wash. This routine is ideal for your nighttime skincare routine. After a long, exhausting day, this technique comes in handy to remove makeup as well as accumulated dirt, sweat and other impurities.

Following this method will also help decide if this technique is for you or not. Once you have understood your skin’s needs, you can increase the frequency as well. For someone who does makeup daily, double cleansing works quite well.
