Why this worksAs the weather shifts, your skin can become dull from environmental stressors. A thorough cleansing routine helps remove impurities and excess oil, revealing a brighter complexion. Double cleansing specifically ensures that both makeup and dirt are efficiently removed, preparing your skin for further care.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with an Oil Cleanser Apply an oil-based cleanser to dry skin, massaging gently to dissolve makeup and impurities. This first step ensures a deep cleanse without stripping your skin's natural oils.
  2. Rinse and Follow with a Gel Cleanser After rinsing off the oil cleanser, apply a gel cleanser to damp skin. This second cleanse removes any remaining residue and refreshes your face, leaving it squeaky clean.
  3. Exfoliate Weekly Incorporate a gentle exfoliator into your routine once a week. This helps remove dead skin cells, promoting a smoother, brighter complexion, but be cautious not to overdo it.
  4. Moisturise After Cleansing Always follow your cleansing ritual with a hydrating moisturiser to lock in moisture. This helps maintain your skin’s barrier and ensures it stays nourished.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the oil cleanser entirely, thinking one cleanse is enough. Others may scrub too hard when exfoliating, which can irritate the skin. Don’t forget to moisturise after cleansing to avoid dryness.

The pro moveTry using a facial massage technique while cleansing to boost circulation and enhance your glow.
