Should I be Double Cleansing?

I am often asked if it’s worth double cleansing and regularly my answer is Yes! Double Cleansing is a popular technique in skincare that involves using two different cleansers to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities from the skin.

While some may think that one cleanse is enough, double cleansing can provide numerous benefits for your skin and something that I RECOMMEND INCORPORATING into your evening routine.

Double cleansing ensures that all debris is removed from the skin. The first cleanse removes makeup, sunscreen, and any excess oil on the skin’s surface, while the second cleanse goes deeper to remove any remaining dirt and impurities which can help prevent breakouts and keep your skin looking clear and healthy.

When the skin is properly cleansed, it allows for better product absorption, meaning that your serums, moisturisers, and other treatments will work more effectively, think of it as the first step to preparing the skin for the rest of your skincare routine.

I always like to use a balm or oil for my first cleanse and INCORPORATE facial massage at this stage (read my blog about the benefits of Facial massage) then I will go in with a targeted cleanser depending on my skin concerns, this may be either hydrating, renewing or detoxifying.
