Double Cleansing is a skincare step that involves cleansing the face twice. Compared to single cleansing, it can more thoroughly remove makeup residues, dirt, and oil from the face, achieving a comprehensive cleaning of the skin, and avoiding various skin problems such as clogged pores, acne, and dull complexion.
The origin of double cleansing: From traditional to modern
The concept of double cleansing in skincare can be traced back to Japan's traditional skincare culture. In ancient times, Japanese women would use oils such as sesame oil and olive oil to cleanse their faces, dissolving makeup and oily dirt. This method is similar to modern oil-based makeup removers, utilizing the properties of oil to dissolve oil-soluble impurities.
With the development of the times, cosmetic ingredients have become more complex, and traditional oil-based cleansing methods are no longer sufficient to completely remove makeup. Therefore, the modern double-cleansing method has emerged, using oily makeup removers to remove makeup and oily dirt, and then using water-based cleansers to remove water-soluble dirt, forming a more complete cleansing step. Double cleansing has become an indispensable step in modern skincare, helping us thoroughly clean the skin and prepare for subsequent skincare procedures.
Double cleansing is not just a cleaning method, but also a skincare attitude. It represents respect and care for the skin. It helps us thoroughly clean the skin, prepares it for subsequent skincare procedures, allows the skin to better absorb skincare products, and achieves better skincare results.
Is double cleansing suitable for you?
The modern living environment is full of pollution. Dust in the air, coupled with the damage from ultraviolet rays and chemicals, can easily cause the following problems for our skin:
- Excessive sebum secretion: Leads to clogged pores, causing problems such as acne, blackheads, and pimples.
- Makeup residue: Incomplete makeup removal can cause clogged pores, affect skin respiration, and accelerate aging.
- Environmental pollution: Pollutants in the air can adhere to the skin surface, causing the skin to become dull, rough, and lose elasticity.
Double cleansing can effectively remove makeup, oil, dirt, and environmental pollutants, and is more helpful for deep cleansing of the skin than single cleansing, maintaining a healthy state, and preparing the skin for subsequent skincare procedures.
The benefits of double cleansing:
The core concept of double cleansing is to use two different cleansing products to achieve a more thorough cleaning effect. The first cleanse is to remove makeup, surface dirt, and oil, so that the second cleanse can deeply clean the pores, help the skin reach a completely clean state, enhance the absorption effect of subsequent skincare products, and make the skin refreshed!
- Deep cleaning: Double cleansing can effectively remove oil, makeup and pollutants on the skin surface, as well as dirt deep in the pores, making the skin cleaner.
- Enhance skincare product absorption: The skin after cleansing is healthier and more hydrated, which is more conducive to absorbing subsequent skincare products, enhancing the efficacy of skincare products, and making the skincare effect twice the result with half the effort.
- Improve dull skin tone: Double cleansing can improve problems such as dull and rough skin, restoring the skin's radiance.
- Preventing aging: The cleansed skin is healthier and more conducive to resisting damage from the external environment, slowing down skin aging.
