What is Double Cleansing for Your Face and How to Do it

What is Double Cleansing?

Double cleansing is a procedure to clean the face by using an oil cleanser and a water-based cleanser ( can be a foam cleanser or a non-foam cleanser). This method is especially beneficial for those who have some interaction in a polluted environment and who wear heavy makeup or SPF. People having oily skin or acne-prone skin can also use oil cleansers that are properly formulated. There are the 9 Best Oil Cleansers for Oily Skin that you can try.

Double Cleansing Benefits:

For a youthful look, double cleansing is best especially if you wear heavy makeup. Just washing the face won't help in removing all impurities from skin cells. Double cleansing, clears all the dead skin cells and rejuvenates the skin. It also gives an even tone to the skin and helps to brighten it. Most people do double cleansing in the evening after a busy day. This double cleansing prepares the skin for absorbing the essence, serum, and moisturiser deep into the cells, giving it a youthful look.

Double Cleansing Method:

Double Cleansing consists of two steps. Step one is to cleanse the face with an oil cleanser and step two is to cleanse the face with a water-based cleanser.

Step 1

Cleansing Face with an Oil Cleanser: 

Oil Cleansers clean makeup, suncream, and sebum from the skin. If you wear makeup then you need to clean your skin with an oil cleanser 2-3 times until you don't see makeup in the cotton pad. If you don't wear makeup then cleansing once is enough. It's a natural way to cleanse the skin and remove any impurities or debris from the face.

For cleansing with an oil cleanser, first, don't wash your face or hands with water. Apply a few drops of oil cleanser on the dry face and massage with fingertips in an upward circular motion. By gentle circular motion, the skin becomes warm and opens pores. This allows cleansing oil to go inside the pores and dissolve any makeup, dirt or oil.

After massaging with an oil cleanser, wet towel in warm water, squeeze extra water and cover the whole face. Dab face skin for a few seconds with a warm towel so it allows pores to open and oil cleanser goes inside the skin pores.

After 1 or 2 minutes of covering the face with a warm damp towel, clean the face. You can clean it with a damp towel or you can wash it with water. When you wash your face with water, the oil cleanser changes into a milky substance and you can give more face massage with it and then wash it with water to completely remove it.

You may feel a little oil on your face after cleansing which is fine for your skin moisturization. The next process is cleansing a face with a water-based cleanser.

The Face Shop Facial Cleanser, Natural Rice Water Light Cleansing Oil Moisturizer for Dry or Oily Skin - 150 mL /5 Oz is a nice cleanser for both oily and dry skin. It contains rice water which helps to tighten pores, reduce fine lines and brighten the skin.

Step 2

Cleanse Face with Water-Based Cleanser:

After the first step, some impurities are still left on the face. Water-Based Cleansers are used to remove any water-based impurities from the face such as sweat.

Apply water-based cleanser on damp face, gently massage for a minute and rinse face with normal water. Pad dry face with a soft towel.

These two steps completely cleanse the skin. This method first got famous in Japan and South Korea, and now its popularity also increases in North America and Europe. This double cleansing method is followed by other Korean skincare steps for a perfect result.
