Ever heard of double cleansing? No? Don't panic! In this blog I will explain what this is exactly and what double cleansing does for your skin.
What is double cleansing?
Actually, the name says it all, with this method you cleanse your face twice. In other words, you do not use one but two cleansers to clean your face. This method has been used in South Korea and Japan for years and is mega popular.

Which products should I use?
With double cleansing you start with a cleansing oil , cleansing balm or an oil-based cleanser. You may now wonder why this has to be an oil? An oil removes waterproof makeup and SPF residues easier than a (normal) cleanser. As soon as you start using a cleanser in step 2, your skin is already freed of these residues and therefore a lot cleaner.
Perhaps you are already using a pure oil to remove your makeup? You better not do that with double cleansing. Pure oil always leaves a layer of grease behind and that layer still contains residues of your makeup and SPF. With a pure oil you clean your skin less well than with a special cleansing oil.
Once your skin is cleansed with an oil, you continue with a cleanser that suits your skin type. Do you want to know what your skin type is exactly to find a suitable cleanser? Then read this blog!
Why double cleansing?
As stated above, double cleansing actually cleanses your skin extra. If you often wear waterproof makeup and/or SPF, this method is definitely worth it! You remove all residues from your skin and it has never been so clean!
Do you suffer from oily skin? This method can also be something for you! By double cleansing your skin, excess oils are removed extra well and you will therefore get oily skin less quickly.
