How to Do Double Cleansing for Glowing Skin
There was a time when we thought a simple face soap and water was enough for our daily skincare routine. Little did we know, the game changed when double cleansing emerged. Suddenly, the soap and water method didn't seem sufficient anymore, especially after a long day at work. Double cleansing became the new norm, reshaping our skincare routines completely.
No longer a secret of beauty experts, the double cleansing method has become a never-to-skip step in skincare routines, promising clear and healthy skin.
While face serums and face toners can give you all the much-anticipated glow in the world, to keep your skin healthy from within you need to go the extra mile.
If you're wondering what double cleansing is all about and how to incorporate it into your daily regimen, you've come to the right place. We will take you through the ins and outs of how to do double cleansing and reveal the secrets to achieving that coveted glow.
Let’s Start with Understanding What is Double Cleansing?
At its core, double cleansing is a two-step cleansing process that involves using an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser. The method originated from Korean skincare routines and has gained global recognition for its efficacy in removing makeup, dirt, pollutants, and excess oil from the skin.
By thoroughly cleansing the skin in two steps, you can sleep peacefully knowing that all impurities are banished and your skin is fresh, clean, and ready to absorb the goodness of other skincare products.
Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser
The first step in the double cleansing method involves using an oil-based cleanser. Contrary to what you might think, oil cleansers are incredibly effective at dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and the natural oils your skin produces. They work on the principle that like attracts like – the oil in the cleanser binds to the oils on your skin, breaking down impurities without stripping away your skin's natural moisture.
To start, apply a generous amount of the oil cleanser to your dry face. Gently massage it in circular motions, focusing on areas with heavy makeup or stubborn impurities. Enjoy the sensation as the oil melts away the day’s grime. After a minute or two, rinse your face with lukewarm water, and voila! Your skin is now free from makeup and the top layer of impurities.

What sets this cleansing gel apart is its healthy light-acidic formula. Maintaining a good pH balance is essential for your skin's health, helping it establish a strong barrier and control its overall balance.
Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser
With the surface impurities removed, it's time for the second step: the water-based cleanser. This step is all about deep cleanse by targeting the remaining impurities and residue from the oil cleansing step. Water-based cleansers, usually in the form of gels or foams, are designed to purify the skin without leaving any greasy residue.
Apply a small amount of the water-based cleanser to your damp face and lather it gently. Massage your face in circular motions, paying extra attention to areas that tend to be oilier, like the T-zone. Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water. After this step you can rest assured that your skin is impeccably clean, allowing it to breathe and absorb subsequent skincare products like face oil or face moisturizer effectively.
Is Double Cleansing Suitable for You?
If you're someone who wears makeup regularly, incorporating the double cleansing method into your skincare routine is not just beneficial; it’s essential. Double cleansing makes sure that every trace of makeup, along with dirt and impurities accumulated throughout the day, is thoroughly removed from your skin.
When you apply makeup, especially products like foundation, concealer, and mascara, they create a barrier on your skin, trapping pollutants and bacteria underneath. A single round of cleansing might not be sufficient to break down these stubborn substances entirely. That's where double cleansing comes to the rescue.
