Double cleansing

Double cleansing is a face cleaning method that involves washing your face with two different types of cleansers. The first one is usually an oil-based cleanser and the second one is a water-based cleaner. The reason why it is suggested to use two different types of cleansers is because they serve a different purpose in the cleansing process. An oil-based cleanser works by removing oil-based residues of makeup, sunscreen, serum, natural sebum, and pollution. A water-based cleanser works by removing residues of grime and sweat, that the first cleanser could not clean. Double cleansing is a cleaning process that is shown to help with the penetration of your skin care products in your skin, therefore it is suggested to be used during your nighttime routine, when you apply most of your actives. 

Double cleansing is loved particularly by people with oily skin because it combats the production of excess oil, without leaving the skin too dry. It is also loved by everyone with an acne prone skin, since it is an excellent way of cleaning the face from bacteria, that is the overall cause of breakouts. Last, but not least double cleansing is the holy grail for makeup lovers, because it is the best and most effective way of removing makeup.
