What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing is a two-step method: first an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup, SPF, and sebum, then a water-based cleanser to remove sweat and remaining residue.
It originated in Korean skincare but has become essential for anyone wearing modern sunscreens or long-wear makeup.
Who needs it?
If you wear SPF daily (you should), double cleansing at night prevents clogged pores and dullness.
Dry skin types can use a gentle cream cleanser as step two; oily types may prefer a light gel.
