All good skincare routines start with a thorough cleansing ritual. Each day, our skin is exposed to a barrage of impurities. Bacteria, airborne pollutants, excess sebum, and dead skin cells build up on the skin and may block pores, which can lead to breakouts, blackheads, and other skin issues.

You may have heard of double cleansing—a skincare method that involves using two different types of cleansers to completely cleanse the skin. We are excited to introduce our new new Phytoderm™ Cleansing Oil, specially formulated to be the perfect first step in your double-cleansing routine. Before diving into our new product, let’s explore the double-cleansing method.

What is double cleansing?

As the name suggests, double cleansing involves washing your face twice. However, it is far more than simply repeating the cleaning step. For an effective double cleansing routine, you begin with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and impurities, followed by a water-based cleanser to deeply cleanse and refresh the skin.

Is double cleansing for everyone?

If you wear makeup or sunscreen daily, double cleansing is a must for your skincare routine. Additionally, certain lifestyle factors can make it even more beneficial—such as spending extended time outdoors, where your skin is exposed to pollution, coupled with increased sebum and perspiration in warmer climates, which increases the risk of clogged pores.

You might be surprised to learn that oily skin benefits from double cleansing. Since oil and water don’t naturally mix, relying solely on a water-based gel or foam cleanser won’t effectively remove excess sebum and oil.

All skin types and conditions can benefit from a daily double cleanse, but it's important to select a product adapted to the skin’s needs.

How to double cleanse?

Step 1

The first step is to remove oil-based products and impurities , such as makeup or sunscreen, from the skin using an oil-based cleanser. Oil molecules in the oil-based cleanser attract oil molecules on the skin, whether it is makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, or perspiration, making it easier for the water-based cleanser in step two to perfectly cleanse the skin.

We suggest applying the oil cleanser to dry skin, on the face, eyes, and lips, and massaging it into the skin for about 45 seconds. Then, add water to create a milky emulsion and rinse the cleanser off with a face cloth moistened with lukewarm water.

Step 2

The second step is to use a water-based cleanser, best suited to the skin type, to remove any remaining impurities.
