Double cleansing – how can it help your skin?

With the double cleansing method, you cleanse your skin in two steps. In the first step, you use an oily face cleanser. This is followed by a water-based cleanser. With this clever combination, you can effectively remove both water-soluble and fat-soluble substances.

How often can you perform double cleansing? Provided you use products that suit your skin type and skin requirements, the method can be used every day.

Double cleansing offers the following advantages:

• Particularly effective skin cleansing
• Both oily and water-soluble substances are removed from your skin
• Most products that are suitable for double cleansing contain nourishing active ingredients that supply your skin with moisture and nutrients during cleansing
• Skin that has been thoroughly cleaned responds better to skin care products

As stated above, double cleansing is performed in two steps. First, you cleanse your skin with a cleansing oil or oil-based wash cream. This removes excess sebum, make-up and sun cream as well as other oily cosmetics residues. In the second step, you use a water-based facial cleanser. Occasionally, this could also be a clarifying peel. These products effectively remove dead skin cells, sweat residue and fine dirt from your skin. The result is a clear complexion with deep-cleaned pores. This cleansing method prepares your skin for a relaxing night or for the application of regenerative, nourishing and protective skincare ingredients.
