You still use face wipes to clean your skin or take off your makeup? Yuck! Ditch them right away! You’re doing more harm than good! Makeup wipes do not remove dirt or makeup, they only redistribute it.

It’s the simple practices that determines the condition of our skin in the long run!
Cleansing is one of the most important part of a skincare routine. Proper cleansing sets the tune for the rest of your skincare regimen. Layering products on skin that’s not properly cleansed is a total waste of time and could do more damage than good.

WHAT IS DOUBLE CLEANSING?
It’s a method of face cleansing where you cleanse twice.
No, double cleansing doesn’t mean washing your face twice with your face cleanser. It’s basically using an oil based cleanser first then following it up with a water based cleanser.

You may be thinking ‘won’t an oil based cleanser clog my pores and cause breakouts?’
The answer is no! It won’t cause breakouts. In fact it’ll even prevent breakouts from occurring.

WHAT IS THE SCIENCE BEHIND DOUBLE CLEANSING?
We always like to base anything we say on science while nature gives us ingredients for our formulations.
Ever heard of the phrase ‘like attracts like?’
It’s being applied when you use an oil cleanser first to cleanse during double cleansing. This can literally change the condition of your skin. The oil in the oil cleanser attracts the oils or water proof makeup on your skin and breaks them down. That way any oil based impurities are taken care of.
When you follow up with a water based cleanser, the water based dirts gets dissolved and you have a properly cleansed skin. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that cleansing oil worked better than water or foaming cleanser in the removal of sunscreen, and also resulted in less skin drying.

WHAT CAN I DOUBLE CLEANSE WITH?
We always recommend cleansing balms. They’re the most effective and contain emulsifiers and skin loving oils.
Cleansing oils also work. No, not all oils are cleansing oils. You can’t call your regular coconut oil a cleansing g oil because it doesn’t contain any emulsifiers. Cleansing with a regular oil, you stand a risk of clogging your pores.

HOW DO I DOUBLE CLEANSE?
Start with an oil-based cleanser, like our balm-to-oil cleanser. Smooth it onto your skin when it’s dry, and let it melt into a nourishing oil that breaks down the initial layer of gunk on the surface of your skin. Splash with water, and it transforms into a milky cleanser that rinses clean.
Step two: Pick a foamier cleanser that suits your skin type(our liquid wash can do the trick). This extra wash not only helps purify skin more deeply, it also removes any oily residue, leaving skin in its freshest, most naturally radiant state.
You’ll notice a difference in just a few days and be doubly glad you tried it.
