DOUBLE CLEANSING?

We all make an effort to give our face a good clean at bedtime to make sure it stays its best but have you heard of double-cleansing?

A Korean technique in origin (although popularised - like everything - on TikTok) its a way to remove any lingering traces of dirt, make-up, sunscreen or other impurities that aren't sloughed away in the first clean

The idea is to cleanse first with an oil based cleanser like a balm or oil or even micellar water to remove make-up. Apply these products to 'dry' skin but add a little water to help them spread around if needs be to remove all product. Then a water-based cleanser can be used for the second cleanse, massaging it into the skin to cleanse a little deeper then rinse it all off with lukewarm water

Exfoliation is also key in keeping skin in tip-top condition and a weekly buff with a polish or exfoliant like our After Dark Face Polish will help to go a little deeper buffing off those dead skin cells to reveal the new skin ready to glow
