You hopefully wouldn’t think twice before brushing your teeth twice a day, so why is washing your face so difficult to keep up?
The double cleanse method is an essential step in a successful skincare routine. Yes you read that right, double cleanse, as in not once, but twice. So, why two times I hear you ask? Here are our three reasons:
1 Taking off your make up isn’t enough
We know, taking your make up off at the end of a long day is a feat to be celebrated, but it’s really not enough to properly clean your face. And if you don’t wear that much make up or none at all, double cleansing still applies to you. The first cleanse is to literally clean the day off your skin, and that means pollution, sweat, oil, make up, dirt and debris – the list goes on. It’s the second cleanse that is actually cleaning your skin!
2 Your skincare products will absorb better
Sounds super obvious, but washing your face two times in a row really ensures there’s not an ounce of dirt left on it. It’s during the second round of cleansing that you get that tingly sensation that tells you your face is uber clean. With the top, grimy layer gone, the cleanser will really get down in your pores to clear them out. This allows the rest of your products in your skincare routine to penetrate better and deeper for faster results! Side note: while double cleansing the skin in the AM isn’t entirely necessary, cleansing your face just the once upon waking will allow those early morning products to absorb deeper.
3 Your skin will improve
Once you have double cleansed products like serums, masks and moisturisers soak deeper and better into your skin which guarantees that you will see better results from your skincare products. And, of course, the kind of cleanser you choose for your skin matters , so focus on finding one that is geared towards your specific skin needs.
