Benefits of Double Cleansing
For those who wear a full face of heavy make-up, double cleansing is the best way to every last bit is removed. Double cleansing each evening will also brighten any dullness, ultimately lifting the complexion. This evening cleanse will allow serums, moisturisers and clever night-time leave-on products (like retinols) to penetrate and work their magic much more efficiently.
How to Double Cleanse
Step 1. Dispense your cleansing oil or balm into the palm of one hand and use the fingers on your opposite hand to apply it to wet or dry skin, massaging in gentle circular motions, including around the eyes, for 30–45 seconds.
Using a cleansing cloth, lightly wipe away makeup, including eye area makeup, (taking care not to tug skin), using both sides if necessary.
Step 2. Rinse or gently remove the cleanser with a soft, wet washcloth.
Step 3. Next, dispense a nickel- to quarter-size amount of your regular facial cleanser and apply it to damp skin, massaging in gentle circular motions.
Step 4. Rinse the second cleanser and pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel.
Should You Double Cleanse
While your skin needs to be cleansed twice a day - morning and evening - a double cleanse isn't always necessary - especially when you wake up in the morning. Double cleansing benefits those most who wear heavy makeup and a mineral-based sunscreens.
