Double cleansing can be a very effective skin cleansing method because it combines the benefits of water-based and oil-based cleansing products. Water-based cleansers are great for days where skin only needs a light refresh while oil-based cleansers can quickly help break down makeup and sweat on lighter makeup days or workout days. Double cleansing helps when you need to achieve an extra level of clean, like on glam or glitter makeup days, intense workout days, or at-home spa days.
All you need to double cleanse are a water-based and oil-based cleansing product. These products can be in any format, but an oil-based cleansing balm can be especially effective for removing stubborn makeup products. Simple use the oil-based product first to do most of the heavy lifting and follow up with using gentle, water-based cleanser to remove any leftover residuals.
