How to properly double cleanse your face?

How to properly double cleanse your face?

Coralie Techer

Taking care of your skin is above all about applying the right gestures, and one of them is knowing how to cleanse your skin properly. Among the different ways to do it, double cleansing is on the podium of the most widespread and effective techniques. How to apply it properly? Is it really always necessary? We tell you everything.

Much more than a simple routine, taking care of your skin is a true ritual of self-love that we grant ourselves every day. As a way to reconnect with ourselves, the skincare routine allows above all to allow the skin to radiate all its glow. Among the many skincare techniques that allow it, we find double cleansing. This trend that comes to us straight from South Korea has become an essential practice for healthy and radiant skin like the glass skin of K-beauty idols.

What is double facial cleansing?

Double cleansing is an age-old method, originally derived from South Korean skincare routines, that involves cleansing your face in two separate steps. The first step involves using a cleansing oil or balm to dissolve impurities, makeup, and excess oil on the skin's surface. The second step involves using a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining residue and deep clean pores.

Is double facial cleansing really necessary?

Double cleansing can be beneficial for many people, but its necessity depends largely on individual skin needs and personal skincare preferences. Here are some things to consider:

Benefits of double cleansing:

  1. Deep Cleansing: The first step, often oil or balm-based, helps effectively remove impurities, stubborn makeup and excess sebum that can clog pores.

  2. Residue Removal: The second step using a water-based cleanser removes any remaining residue, ensuring perfectly clean skin.

  3. Improved skincare effectiveness: Clean skin promotes better absorption of skincare products applied subsequently, such as serums or moisturizers.

Considerations to take into account:

  1. Skin Type: Oily skin or skin prone to daily makeup may benefit more from double cleansing to thoroughly remove impurities. Sensitive skin may react to such a routine and require a gentler cleanse.

  2. Lifestyle and Makeup Habits: For those who wear long-lasting or waterproof makeup, double cleansing can be especially helpful for effective removal.

  3. Current skincare routine: If your skin is doing well with your current routine, there is no need to switch to double cleansing. It is essential to find what works best for your skin.

Alternatives to double cleansing:

  • Multi-purpose cleansers: Some cleansers are designed to effectively remove makeup and impurities in one step, which may suit those looking for a simpler solution.

  • Occasional deep cleansing: For those who don't want to double cleanse on a daily basis, a deep cleanse with a stronger makeup remover or a gentle scrub every now and then can be an alternative.

As you will have understood, double cleansing is especially applicable to those who feel the need. For people living in densely populated areas (polluted urban centers), those who wear makeup every day or those with oily to combination skin, it will be necessary most of the time. On the other hand, for people with normal skin, living in rural areas for example (where the air is healthier) and not having any particular skin problems, it will be totally obsolete.

How to practice double cleansing:

Practicing double cleansing every day at home is not very complicated, you just need to follow a few specific steps and follow the right steps.

Step 1: Cleanse with oil or balm
  1. Choosing the right product: Choose a cleansing oil or balm that is right for your skin type. Oils often work for all skin types, but if you have oily skin, a balm might be a better fit.

  2. Application: Apply a small amount of product to your dry face and gently massage in circular motions for one to two minutes. The oil or balm will dissolve makeup and impurities.

  3. Emulsion: Add warm water to emulsify the product. This turns the oil into a milky texture that helps remove impurities.

  4. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Be sure to remove the product completely.

Step 2: Water-based cleaning

  1. Selecting a cleanser: Choose a cleanser that is suitable for your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, etc.).

  2. Application: Apply the cleanser to your damp face and massage gently using circular motions.

  3. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Make sure there is no cleaner residue left.

  4. Drying: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel.

Additional tips:
  • Frequency: Practice double cleansing once or twice a day, morning and evening, to maintain clean and balanced skin.

  • Adapting to your skin's needs: If your skin is sensitive or reactive, adapt the products you use to avoid irritation.

  • Follow up with a tailored routine: After double cleansing, follow with a tailored skincare routine including a toner, serum, and moisturizer to nourish and protect your skin.

Double facial cleansing is a simple but sure way to maintain the health and beauty of your skin. If you feel the need, by incorporating this technique into your daily skincare routine, you are giving your skin the care it deserves, allowing it to radiate freshness and vitality. Always take the time to pamper your skin, it will thank you by displaying all its natural beauty.
