If removing make-up with ready-made wipes or micellar water is an easy and quick gesture, the result obtained may not necessarily exist. Dryness, mediocre make-up removal… Your skin deserves so much more in terms of routine. That’s right: speaking of a good routine, there is one that all beauty experts recommend, Double cleaning.

Directly from Asia, this beautiful skin routine is based on two key steps: oil makeup remover (which removes lipophilic impurities such as sebum or make-up) ea additional cleaning with cleansing gel or milk (to remove hydrophilic residues).

A protocol that, although it seems longer than usual, takes only two minutes to complete. Sure, it istakes longer than using micellar water on cotton, but you won’t regret it!

What does the double cleanse do for leather?

Every day, the skin is exposed to a certain number of aggressions and elements that clog its pores, such as pollution, make-up, perspiration or even dead skin cells. AND when the pores are clogged, the active ingredients applied before bedtime are not adequately absorbed by the epidermisas Dr. Anny-Cohen-Letessier, a dermatologist in Paris explains:

Careful makeup removal is an essential step. Skin that is not clean cannot be treated. No cream, no matter how expensive, penetrates poorly cared for skin.

However, according to dermatologist Marie-Pierre Hill-Sylvestre, interviewed by the magazine Psychology, it is during the night, and more precisely around one in the morning, that the skin regenerates and absorbs 100% of the active skincare ingredients.

In order for this process to go smoothly, it is therefore important to carry out a full make-up removal every evening. AND This is exactly where double detersion comes into play! For what ? Well, simply because it’s ultra efficient.

First the make-up remover oil removes lipophilic residues such as dead cells, make-up (even waterproof) and pollution, then the gel or cleansing milk completes this first pass by removing hydrophilic impurities such as sweat or even dust. Two actions that leave the epidermis perfectly clean and ready to absorb the active ingredients of the treatments that will be provided.

Double cleansing for dry skin

Dry skin must be bring in a comforting routine that doesn’t bother them any more than they already are. To do this, Juliette Levy of the Oh My Cream concept store suggests doing a double cleansing with a light make-up removing oil followed by a creamy formula cleansing emulsion or a triceramide-based jelly.

The target ? It gently cleanses the skin and at the same time provides it with a good dose of hydration.

Double cleansing for combination to oily skin

Combination to oily skin has need to rebalance their sebum production. To do this job, a make-up removing balm is ideal: it perfectly removes lipophilic impurities and does not bite the hydrolipidic barrier.

Secondly, a light and delicate purifying cleansing jelly completes the cleansing of the skin while minimizing the shine on the T-zone and imperfections.

Double cleansing for sensitive skin

Kindness is required sensitive skin that doesn’t like water very much (and especially the limestone found in it). To prevent them from getting wet, you can double clean with no-rinse products! First with a cleansing oil, which can be removed with a warm, damp cloth, then with a no-rinse cleansing cream that completes the cleansing process.

Together, these products leave your skin feeling clean and comfortable.

So, double cleaning, is it worth it or not?

Yes yes and yes again! To date, double cleansing is one of the most effective routines to cleanse the skin but also to help it regenerate completely during the night. Furthermore, if performed with clean products and impeccable formulations, it turns out to be particularly delicate on the epidermis — a very important factor to avoid the phenomenon of dehydration.

You’ll understand, it’s fine.
