Double Cleansing: Clean skin deep into the pores

Double cleansing is a two-step cleansing method originally from Korean skincare routines. It focuses on thoroughly cleansing the skin of dirt, makeup, and excess sebum in two steps. First, an oil-based cleanser is used, followed by a water-based cleanser.

Over the course of the day, dirt accumulates on our skin – from makeup to sunscreen to environmental pollutants. Simply cleansing is often not enough to remove all of these residues. Double cleansing ensures that the skin is deeply cleansed without damaging the natural barrier. The result is clean, fresh skin that is optimally prepared for subsequent care products.

Thorough cleansing: Effectively removes even stubborn makeup, sunscreen and dirt.

Improved skin health: Reduces the risk of blemishes and clogged pores.

Better product absorption: Skincare products such as serums and creams can work better because they are applied to clean skin.

Gentle method: Despite deep cleansing, the skin remains supple and does not dry out.

Step 1: Oil-based cleaner

A cleansing oil or balm is applied to dry skin and gently massaged in. It dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Then emulsify with lukewarm water and rinse off.

Step 2: Water-based cleaner

A gentle, water-based cleanser will now remove dirt, sweat, and any traces of cleansing oil. Apply the cleanser to damp skin, massage in, and rinse thoroughly.

Oil-based cleansers: Choose a cleansing oil or balm with natural ingredients that won't irritate your skin. Products containing jojoba or almond oil are ideal, as they gently remove makeup and oil.

Water-based cleansers: A mild gel or foaming cleanser with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera or chamomile provides gentle cleansing.

Tip: Make sure that both products are tailored to your skin type so as not to put a strain on the skin barrier.

Double cleansing is more than just cleansing—it's the first step in an effective skincare routine. This method thoroughly removes impurities, optimally prepares the skin for subsequent products, and helps minimize impurities. Try it and enjoy the feeling of deeply cleansed skin!
