Want glowing skin? Discover why double cleansing is the ideal solution.
Do you dream of glowing, soft, flawless skin? The secret may lie in a simple routine: double cleansing. This technique, which originated in Asia, has been adopted by skincare enthusiasts around the world. Why does it work so well?
What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing involves using two types of cleansers in succession to remove lipophilic (oil-based) and hydrophilic (water-based) impurities from the skin. This method provides deep cleansing while maintaining the skin's balance.
The two steps of double cleansing:
- Oily phase: This first step aims to remove makeup and oily impurities such as makeup, sebum, and sunscreen.
- Aqueous phase: This second step cleanses hydrophilic impurities such as sweat, dust, and pollution particles.
Why adopt double cleansing?
- Deep cleaning: Effectively removes all impurities accumulated on the skin.
- Better absorption of treatments: Clean skin allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
- Prevention of blemishes: Limits the appearance of blackheads, enlarged pores, and pimples.
- Anti-ageing effect : Promotes cell renewal and prevents premature aging.
How to achieve perfect double cleansing?
Step 1: Makeup removal (Oil phase)
The cleansing oil or balm is applied directly to dry skin. Take a small amount of product, warm it between your hands, massage gently onto the face, paying particular attention to areas such as the eyes and mouth, add a little water to emulsify the product, and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Advantages :
- Removes waterproof makeup.
- Respects the skin barrier.
- Suitable for all skin types, even the oiliest.
Step 2: Cleaning (Aqueous phase)
This step aims to remove any remaining impurities. Moisten your face, then apply a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type, massage in circular motions for about one minute, rinse with lukewarm water, and pat dry with a clean towel.
Recommended types of cleaners:
- Purifying cleansing gel for oily skin.
- Moisturizing cleansing milk for dry skin.
- Gentle exfoliating cleanser for a radiant effect.

Should you cleanse twice daily, in the morning and at night?
While it is important to double cleanse in the evening to remove all traces of makeup, pollution, and other impurities, it is not recommended in the morning. A simple cleanse to remove traces of sweat or excess sebum for oily skin is sufficient, so as not to damage the hydrolipidic film, which is renewed during the night and acts as a protective barrier against external aggressions during the day.
