Double cleansing is the secret of skin care gurus, home health hobby and dermatologists alike. Here’s everything you need to know.
Adding yet another element to your skincare routine may seem like overkill. However, the role of double cleansing is paramount for those looking to boost their skin’s appearance and health.
Double cleansing is as straightforward as it sounds. At its most basic level, it is simply washing your face twice. However, to maximize the effects of this skincare method, a routine involving a double cleanse includes more than just lathering up with a foaming cleanser, two times over.
Many find that a double cleanse helps avoid blackheads and breakouts because of its multifaceted approach. Others choose to double-cleanse because certain lifestyle factors, like a job outdoors or an active hobby, mean that their skin is overly exposed to elements, sweat, and clogged pores.
Double cleansing involves first cleaning the face with an oil-based cleanser or a micellar water. This works to lift makeup, dirt, and grime from deep within the skin’s pores. Next, advocates of double cleansing will wash with a gentle, foaming cleanser to remove the now-loose sediment.
An oil-based cleanser is a must because the oil molecules within the facial cleanser work to attract the oil molecules on your face, be them from sweat, SPF, or makeup. The oils within your pores attach to the cleansing oil and move to the surface of the skin, making it easier for the water cleanser in step two to wash it all away.
You’ll be surprised, but oily skin benefits the most from double cleansing. Those with ultra oily skin may baulk at the idea of using a cleansing oil on their already shiny face, fearing additional sheen or excess breakouts. However, we’ve all heard the concept that oil and water don’t mix - the same goes for oil and water on your face. By simply sudsing up with a water based gel or foam face wash, you are unable to thoroughly extricate sebum, oil, and residue from the skin’s myriad of pores and creases.
All skin types could benefit from a daily double cleanse, but it's important that you select a product according to your skin type.
