Are you looking to elevate your skincare routine to the next level? Double cleansing might just be the game-changer you need. Especially for makeup wearers or those exposed to pollution, double cleansing offers a deep and thorough cleanse that a single cleanse may not achieve. Let's dive into why double cleansing is beneficial and how you can incorporate it into your daily skincare regimen.
Why Double Cleansing?
Double cleansing involves using two different types of cleansers to effectively remove both oil-based impurities and water-based impurities from the skin. The first cleanse, typically an oil or balm cleanser, targets and breaks down oil-based impurities like makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. The second cleanse, usually a water-based cleanser, focuses on removing sweat, dirt, and any remaining residue, leaving the skin clean and refreshed.
How to Double Cleanse
Start your double cleansing routine by applying a GreenMySkin oil or balm cleanser to dry skin. Take a small amount of the cleanser and gently massage it onto your face in circular motions. Pay extra attention to areas where makeup is concentrated, such as the eyes and lips. The oil or balm cleanser will help dissolve and lift away the makeup and impurities from your skin.
Next, emulsify the cleanser by adding a splash of water to your face. The water will mix with the oil or balm cleanser, creating a milky texture that can easily be rinsed off. Continue massaging your face as you emulsify the cleanser to ensure all impurities are being lifted from the skin.
Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove the emulsified cleanser. Make sure to rinse until all traces of the oil or balm cleanser are gone. Leaving any residue behind can lead to clogged pores and potential breakouts.
For the second cleanse, choose a suitable GreenMySkin gel or water-based cleanser. Apply a small amount to your damp skin and gently massage in circular motions. This cleanse will help remove any remaining impurities and leave your skin feeling clean and balanced.
