It wasn’t *that* long ago that the idea of smearing oil onto our faces to clean them would have made us laugh. But, since Korean Skincare and its famous 10-step routine took the world by storm, oil cleansers have become a staple for many. They are especially loved by people who do the double-cleansing method. This requires that you first use a balm or oil cleanser to remove make-up and sunscreen and then use a foam or gel to remove any residue.
Whether you’re a fan of this face-washing method or not, everyone can benefit from incorporating oil cleansers into their routines. Here’s why.

Time to get greasy
Have you ever washed your face with regular cleanser and found it felt tight afterwards? This is because all the natural oils have been stripped from your face, which can cause problems in oily and dry skin types. In the case of dry skin, it can aggravate the problem. In oily skin, it can trigger the overproduction of sebum and exacerbate the issue.

This is why a lot of people have made the switch to cream or oil cleansers. Well, this and the fact that the latter can melt make-up off your face in seconds! And, despite the fact that the K-Beauty routine requires an extra wash after using one, this is not necessary with many modern formulas. They are designed to emulsify on contact with water so they wash away with ease. Yes, really!

Why would you want to make the switch to this slippery formula? It doesn’t strip the skin so it leaves your face cleansed and soft because it’s still retaining moisture. It is also on another level when it comes to removing make-up, SPF and debris. It’s the powerful-but-gentle combination that can keep your skin healthy and radiant. Try it!
