What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing is exactly what you think it is. You are washing your face twice. This method was popularized by geishas in Japan who would double-cleanse their skin to remove heavy makeup. “They would use an oil-based mix to remove the makeup then use another wash right after,” says Dr. Debbie Palmer, board-certified dermatologist, medical director of the Dermatology Associates of New York and author of Beyond Beauty.
So, why make cleansing a two-step process? According to the experts, there are two major benefits to the technique. When you wear foundation, double cleansing gets you a better clean...This makes room for any products you apply afterwards to penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
So what cleansers work best for double cleansing? For best results, it's recommended washing your face with an oil-based cleanser to remove oil and makeup or sunscreen, then follow it up with a second cleanser that’s designed specifically for your skin type. Oil breaks up the dirt and impurities in your skin. The second cleanser works like a magnet, which attaches to the oil and pulls it out of your skin.
While the double cleansing method is meant to work on all skin types, it is suggested that those with acne-prone and sensitive skin should be mindful of what products they’re using. You may need to be careful because over-cleansing your skin could result in sensitivity, acne or dryness. Make sure your products are great for sensitive skin.
