The Truth About Double Cleansing – Do You Really Need It?

Wearing SPF daily is essential but removing it properly at the end of the day is just as important. That’s where double cleansing comes in. 

Originally popularised in Korean skincare routines, double cleansing simply means washing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, then with a water-based or cream cleanser. This method ensures that SPF, makeup, sweat, and pollutants are thoroughly removed, leaving your skin clean, balanced, and ready for nighttime products. 

During the summer months, when SPF reapplication, sweat, and city pollution are at their peak, double cleansing becomes especially beneficial. It helps prevent clogged pores, dullness, and breakouts without over-stripping your skin. 

Step one: Use a vegan cleanser or balm to break down sunscreen and makeup. Massage it in gently to dissolve residue. 
 

Step two: Follow with a gentle cream or gel cleanser to rinse away impurities and prep your skin for serums or moisturisers.
