For some, skincare routines can become rituals. No matter the number of steps in their skincare routine, many say that their morning and nighttime skincare can become a meditative way to take care of their skin. One particular step that has found its way into the routines of individuals across the globe is double-cleansing. The question many are asking now: is double cleansing necessary?
How to Double Cleanse
Everyone has their own set of unique skin needs. What works for one person won’t always work for another. Washing your face in the morning and at night is recommended, but only with high-quality skincare that works for you. Double cleansing is as it sounds. Individuals cleanse their face first with an oil-based cleanser and follow it with a second wash with a gel or water-based cleanser.
As we stated above, everyone has their own skincare needs. For those interested, we recommend trying double cleansing but discontinuing if it dries out the skin. Some people may find that the first cleanse doesn’t leave their skin feeling very clean at all. In that case, we highly recommend trying a second cleanse. The need for double cleansing should be based on the daily lifestyle. If this extra step fits into your routine, it’s worth a shot!
The Benefits of Double Cleansing
Adding another step into a possibly already extensive routine may seem unappealing for some. So, what are the benefits of adding this into a skincare routine? For one, after a long day of the skin enduring environmental factors, dirt, and oils, along with makeup, the skin could use the extra cleanse. Additionally, when the skin is double cleansed, any obstacles blocking deep penetration of skincare products are removed, allowing the serums and moisturizers to do their job.
