Step 1: Oil-Based Cleansing – Dissolve Makeup & Sunscreen

Oil-based cleansers are designed to break down and dissolve oil-based impurities like:
✔ Sunscreen (which can be difficult to remove with water-based cleansers alone).
✔ Makeup, including waterproof formulas.
✔ Excess sebum, preventing clogged pores.

💡 How It Works:

• Massage the oil cleanser onto dry skin to break down impurities.
• Rinse off with warm water or wipe away with a damp cloth.

Who Needs It? Anyone who wears sunscreen (which should be everyone!) or makeup, or struggles with oily skin and blackheads.

Best Ingredients to Look For:
🔹 Jojoba Oil – Lightweight & non-comedogenic.
🔹 Grapeseed Oil – Rich in antioxidants, great for acne-prone skin.
🔹 Olive Oil – Nourishing & hydrating for dry skin.

Step 2: Water-Based Cleansing – Wash Away Dirt & Sweat

Once the oil-based cleanser has removed all the oil-based impurities, the water-based cleanser cleanses the skin itself, removing:
✔ Sweat & dirt accumulated throughout the day.
✔ Bacteria & pollutants that can contribute to breakouts.
✔ Residue from skincare & makeup that might still be lingering.

💡 How It Works:

• Apply a gentle foaming, gel, or cream cleanser to damp skin.
• Massage in circular motions and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Who Needs It? Absolutely everyone!

Best Ingredients to Look For:
🔹 Hyaluronic Acid – Retains moisture for a hydrated glow.
🔹 Salicylic Acid – Helps clear acne and clogged pores.
🔹 Green Tea Extract – Soothes inflammation and protects the skin barrier.

Who Should Double Cleanse? (Hint: Almost Everyone!)

Double cleansing is great for all skin types, but especially beneficial if you:

✔ Wear makeup daily
✔ Use sunscreen (which you should be doing every day!)
✔ Have oily or acne-prone skin and struggle with breakouts
✔ Live in a polluted environment

Exceptions:
🚫 If you have extremely dry or sensitive skin, try double cleansing only at night and use hydrating, non-stripping cleansers.

Final Step: Hydrate & Glow!



Now that your skin is completely clean, don’t forget to lock in hydration with:
💧 Hydrating toners & essences (Look for ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid).
✨ Serums & moisturizers suited for your skin type.
☀️ SPF in the morning to protect your fresh, glowing skin.

Final Thoughts: Should You Start Double Cleansing?

If your skin feels oily, congested, or prone to breakouts, double cleansing is a must-try. Even if you have dry or sensitive skin, choosing the right gentle cleansers can help remove impurities without stripping moisture.
