Ever wondered how to get that dreamy, glowy skin that seems to light up a room? Well, the secret might just lie in a simple, yet transformative routine: double cleansing. You’re not just cleaning your skin, you’re giving it a VIP treatment that sets the stage for all the goodness to follow. Let’s dive in.
Why Double Cleanse?
Double cleansing is a great step towards achieving and maintaining healthy skin. The thorough cleans allows for better penetration of active ingredients in serums and moisturizers, maximizing their efficacy. Additionally, it helps prevent clogged pores, breakouts, and dullness, leaving the skin looking brighter.
Step 1: The Oil Cleanse
Gently massage the oil-based cleanser onto your dry face. Don’t rush it. You can also emulsify the cleanser by adding a bit of lukewarm water and continuing to massage as it turns milky. Rinse thoroughly or use a soft, damp cloth to remove all traces of the cleanser.
Step 2: The Water Cleanse
Apply your water-based cleanser to damp skin, massaging gently to create a lather. This step targets water-soluble debris like sweat and dirt, providing a deep cleanse without compromising the skin’s natural barrier. Rinse and pat your face dry with a clean towel, avoiding harsh rubbing that can irritate the skin.
