But what exactly is double cleansing?

It means washing your face using two products: First an oil-based cleanser (cleansing oil or balm). After that, a water-based cleanser. The first step removes oil-based impurities like sebum, SPF, makeup, and pollutants. The second step cleanses water soluble impurities like dust and sweat.

What are its benefits?

1 It cleanses the pores reducing sebum & bacteria buildup. This helps prevent acne, blackheads & whiteheads.
2 Its helps with better absorption of skincare products.
3 Two gentle cleansers are better than, a strong cleanser that may over dry the skin.

What should you be careful about?

1 Don't double cleanse more than once a day.
Best time is at night.
2 Don't over stimulate the skin.Be gentle.
3 Apply the first oil cleanser on dry skin. Gently massage face and neck, only then emulsify.
4 Be careful to remove the oil cleanser properly. Pay special attention to jawline, hairline and around the nose.
