A Basic Guide to Double Cleansing

A healthy skincare routine is important for any individual. It can also be a relaxing part of the day and an important part of giving yourself good self-care. That’s why so many people are now turning to double cleansing as a way of promoting good skin health. Incorporating this particularly peaceful, relaxing cleansing technique into their skincare routine is easy to do, but it’s important to know the basics before getting started. That’s why we’re here to present you with this guide to the basics of double cleansing and everything you need to know if you would like to give it a try.

What You Need to Get Started

Compared to many more complex skincare rituals requiring upwards of 10 or more beauty and skincare products, double cleansing is fairly simple. However, you will need a few things if you want to do it right.

Double cleansing derives its name from the process of cleansing your face twice. This is first done using an oil-based cleanser, and then using a water-based cleanser. The first step in the process is used to draw out sebum, pollutants, and other impurities in the skin that you may accumulate throughout the day. The second step in the process takes care of water-based impurities such as dirt and sweat.

However, it is still important to keep in mind that you will want to choose the beauty and skincare products that are appropriate for your skin type. This is what can make double cleansing challenging for some individuals. Remember when choosing an oil-based and a water-based cleanser to pay attention to whether your skin is oily, dry, normal, sensitive, or if you have a combination skin type.

Things to Consider With Your Skin Type

It may be intimidating to think about using an oil-based cleanser if you already have oily skin. Fear not. There are plenty of great oil-based beauty and skincare products available—you just need to be sure to choose lightweight and hydrating products that will not leave your skin feeling too heavy. Products containing Kalahari melon oil are a good option as it does not tend to leave behind a greasy residue.

Those with dry skin seeking a cleanser should be sure to choose a gentle option that will not strip away the natural oils but will still get rid of dirt and grime. Meanwhile, those with acne-prone and sensitive skin should be sure to choose natural skin care products that can help take care of blemishes and breakouts without the use of harsh chemicals. The use of tea tree oil and other natural ingredients can be of great benefit and reduce these issues without the need for over cleaning with salicylic acid and similar chemicals.
