There are many ways to remove makeup, but lately, everyone’s talking about double cleansing. Praised as the secret to fully removing makeup and achieving radiant skin, it has become a must-have step in many beauty routines. Here’s everything you need to know about this technique—how it works, why it’s beneficial, and how to incorporate it into your skincare regimen.
Double Cleansing: The Secret to Thorough Makeup Removal
Double cleansing is a makeup removal method that originated in Korea. To effectively eliminate all impurities—even waterproof makeup—this technique involves using an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser. By combining both types, you get a deep, gentle cleanse without stripping the skin.
Why Double Cleansing?
Even oily, sensitive, or dry skin types can benefit from this effective yet gentle makeup removal method. Here's why double cleansing works:
- Removes All Impurities: Double cleansing lifts away both lipophilic impurities (like waterproof makeup and excess sebum) with the oil cleanser and hydrophilic impurities (such as sweat and pollution) with the water-based cleanser. This two-step method even helps protect skin from the harsh effects of hard water and leaves no tight or dry feeling behind.
- Prevents Breakouts: This method helps unclog pores and eliminate bacteria—two major culprits behind blemishes. Because it gently cleanses without triggering oil production, it supports a healthier skin balance.
- Enhances Skin Texture: Double cleansing also improves the skin’s appearance over time. By thoroughly removing dead skin cells and buildup, it helps refine texture and boost radiance.
What Products Should I Use for Double Cleansing?
Choosing the right skincare products is key to effective double cleansing:
Pick the Right Cleansing Oil
Cleansing oils are ideal for gently cleansing dry or sensitive skin. They melt away makeup and impurities while nourishing the skin. They’re also great for oily skin types looking for a gentle cleanse without harsh stripping.
Choose a Water-Based Cleanser
For the second step, opt for a face cleanser that works with water.
- Very Rose Light Cleansing Foam offers a soft, refreshing cleanse for all skin types—even sensitive skin.
- For drier skin types, Rêve de Miel Face Cleansing and Makeup Removing Gel is a soothing option packed with comforting ingredients.
