Double Cleansing: When Is It Needed?
What Double Cleansing Is
Oil-based cleanser first to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then water-based cleanser for remaining impurities.
When You Need It
- You wear sunscreen daily
- You wear makeup
- You have oily or acne-prone skin
- You live in a polluted environment
When You Can Skip
- Morning cleansing
- Days without sunscreen or makeup
- Very dry or sensitive skin
Choosing Your Oil Cleanser
Cleansing oils emulsify with water. Balms melt on skin. Micellar water is gentle for sensitive skin. Avoid mineral oil if acne-prone.
