Double cleansing is one of the top skincare trends that we tried this year. So many women have heard of it, but are not sure what it means and how to actually do it. Our short guide will help you figure out whether it’s the right thing for your skin.

What Is It?

The main secret behind double cleansing is that you wash your face twice, in order to remove all impurities, makeup, and dirt. The first product you should use is an oil-based cleanser, while the second is a water-based product.

When done right, double cleansing will leave your face perfectly smooth, hydrated and glowing.

How To Do It?

There isn’t a universal guide that will tell you which product exactly to use. All you need to do is choose oil-based and water-based cleansers that work for your skin.

You need to wash the face with the oil-based product first to dissolve the makeup and dirt, while the water-based one will make sure there is nothing left on the skin.

It all depends on what skin type you have. Opt for cleansers that are gentle, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. Avoid harsh scrubs and movements.
