If you want to have the freshest complexion possible, double cleansing can offer the best results. Read on to find out how one of my skin care secrets can give your skin an extra boost.
The double cleansing method involves washing your face twice, with two different products: the first is oil-based (make-off spray* or Midnight Oil Cleanser*), and the second is water-based (Dream Clean* or Quench Cleanse*).
What's the point of two different cleansers? Think of it as removing two layers of impurities. Oil-based formulas, such as cleansing oils or balms, do the best job of removing products like makeup and sunscreen, plus airborne pollution. Oil-based cleansers also remove excess sebum, your body's natural oils. Once these outer impurities are removed, a water-based cleanser can better penetrate the skin, targeting sweat and bacteria.
Double cleansing doesn't need to add too much extra time to your routine. Simply, follow these easy steps:
- Gently massage your oil-based cleanser or balm into your skin for about a minute, using circular motions.
- Carefully wash around the eyes and give special attention to the hairline and jawline where makeup tends to build up.
- Remove the cleanser gently with a warm, damp washcloth followed by a lukewarm rinse.
- Keep your skin damp for the second cleanse with your water-based product. Again, massage the product in for about a minute, covering the same areas.
- Rinse with lukewarm water, then gently pat (never rub) your skin dry with a clean, soft towel.
- Immediately apply a moisturizer to lock in moisture, as well as any serums and sunscreens.
Why add an extra step to your skin care routine? Beyond providing a deeper, more thorough cleanse, the double-cleansing method can brighten dull skin. Plus, it
allows moisturizers and serums to deliver better results since they can better penetrate the skin.
In addition to removing heavy makeup thoroughly, this two-step method also removes excess oil and bacteria. This will result in a healtheir complexion.

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells to help prevent breakouts, improve skin texture, tone and glow. Removing old skin cells at the skin’s surface reveals newer, more youthful skin and encourages further skin cell turnover. All forms of exfoliation can be categorized as two types: physical or chemical.
