What it is
Double cleansing involves using an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based one to thoroughly remove makeup, skincare and impurities.
How it works in skincare
The first step dissolves oils and stubborn products, while the second cleanses deeper into the pores. Ideal for evening routines, although some people also use this approach in the mornings as well. The idea behind double cleansing is to leave the skin thoroughly clean without stripping its natural barrier, and prepared for absorption of serums and moisturisers.
