💧 Double Cleansing Demystified: The Power of Oil in Achieving Crystal Clear Skin
Share
Hello Deep Cleaners and GlowUnity Boutique Customers!
You've heard the phrase, but what exactly is double cleansing? It’s a two-step process that originated in Asian skincare, designed to ensure your skin is absolutely clean before treatment. If you wear makeup, sunscreen, or live in an urban environment, single cleansing is simply not enough to clear your pores.
Step 1: The Oil-Based Cleanse (Dissolve)
-
Purpose: To dissolve oil-soluble impurities. This includes makeup (even waterproof), excess sebum, and oil-based sunscreen. Water-based cleansers cannot effectively break down these oil-based residues.
-
Products: Use a cleansing oil or a cleansing balm.
-
How: Apply the oil/balm to dry skin and massage gently for a full minute, allowing it to dissolve all impurities. Add a splash of water to emulsify (it will turn milky), then rinse completely.
Step 2: The Water-Based Cleanse (Purify)
-
Purpose: To cleanse the skin itself. This removes any leftover residue from the oil cleanser, sweat, and other water-soluble debris.
-
Products: Use a gentle foam, gel, or cream cleanser suited to your skin type.
-
How: Apply the cleanser to damp skin and massage for 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
Why It Works: Clear Pores, Better Absorption
Double cleansing ensures that your water-based foaming cleanser is interacting with your skin, not with a layer of foundation or sunscreen. By achieving a truly clean canvas, all the expensive serums and treatments you apply afterward are able to penetrate and work at their maximum potential. The result? Crystal clear pores and a noticeable glow.
