Korean skincare has taken the world by storm with its multi-step rituals, and double cleansing is one of the cornerstones of this approach. This essential ritual is the key to clear, radiant skin that’s ready to receive the benefits of the following treatments. Let’s discover together why and how to adopt this practice to transform your skincare routine.
What is Double Cleansing?
Double cleansing is a two-step method that aims to effectively remove all impurities accumulated on the skin throughout the day.
Step 1: Oil-Based CleanserThis first step uses an oily cleanser to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and fat-soluble impurities. Oil-based cleansers are gentle on the skin and won't strip its natural barrier.
2nd Step: Water-Based Cleaner
The second step is to use an aqueous cleanser (gel or foam) to remove sweat, dust and water-soluble impurities. This step completes the cleansing while leaving the skin fresh and ready for the following care.
Why is Double Cleansing so Effective?
The double cleansing method helps eliminate the different types of impurities that our skin encounters. Here are the main benefits:
Deep Cleansing: ●Oily cleanser effectively dissolves waterproof makeup and oily residue. ●Aqueous cleanser dislodges pollution particles and water-soluble impurities.
Blemish Reduction: ● Double cleansing prevents clogged pores, reducing the risk of acne and blackheads.
Improved Skin Texture: ● By removing deep debris, the skin becomes smoother and more even.
Optimization of Subsequent Care: ● Well-cleansed skin better absorbs serums, creams and other treatments applied afterwards.
