During the course of a day, our faces accumulate a lot of dirt and debris. This comes from sweat, our hands and pollution in the environment. This means that come evening, a thorough cleanse is necessary. One trend that promises just that is double cleansing, which hails from the K-Beauty movement. And devotees believe that this method is one that guarantees clean and clear skin.
What is double cleansing?
Did you know that washing your face twice can have *huge* benefits for your skin? This method is called double cleansing and it has become increasingly popular in the skincare community. Many fans claim that it removes buildup to prevent breakouts, improves a dull complexion and allows other products to penetrate the skin more effectively.
But double cleansing doesn’t mean using your daily face wash twice over. First, you need to use an oil or balm cleanser. This step is great for removing all traces of make-up, dirt, excess oil and sunscreen from your skin. The second cleanse requires that you use a foam or gel cleanser. This removes any oily residue that may be left behind so it doesn’t clog your pores.
