Double Cleansing & All Its Benefits

What is double cleansing?

Have you ever washed your face and then followed up with a toner afterward, only to see a shocking amount of buildup left on your cotton pad? Believe it or not, this actually is a signifier that you are not properly and effectively cleansing your skin. Enter: Double Cleansing.

Originally made popular and brought more mainstream by South Korea, the concept of the Double Cleanse is quite simple.

First, cleanse your skin with an oil-based cleanser to break down impurities such as SPF, Makeup, and Pollutants. This is even more important if you wear waterproof/water resistant cosmetic products. Montana Harvest Omega Oil Cleanser is perfect for this step.

The second cleanse, traditionally a water-based cleanser, serves the purpose to cleanse the actual skin. By removing the first layer of impurities and then properly cleansing the skin, it is easier to remove pore-clogging and blemish-provoking buildup. For this, the Black Mint Cleanser would be an excellent choice.

The result? More thoroughly cleansed and happy skin of course.

Is double cleansing necessary?

In the AM, double cleasning is rarely necessary. Unless you are extremely oily, it isn’t necessary to double cleanse in the morning as there isn’t enough buildup of oils overnight to justify it. If you're doing a good job at cleaning and treating your skin at night, you don't need it in the AM! Instead, you can just use a no-rinse cleanser like Blue Aura Cleansing Water to refresh and balance my complexion before applying my morning skincare routine.

Now, your PM routine is a whole other conversation. Double cleansing in the evening is one of our personal skincare non-negotiables! It is so important to properly cleanse away your sunscreen, makeup, and any impurities your skin has built up throughout the day so that your skincare routine can work at its highest potential. As someone who is extremely acne-prone trust me, it makes all the difference in the world.
