We think the Asian way of cleansing one’s skin can teach us a lot! The Asians are famous for having beautiful clear skin. Double cleansing is exactly what it says. You cleanse your skin twice. The first time around you use cleansing oil and the second, with a foaming cleanser.

The cleansing oil removes facial oil, makeup and skin impurities (also great for removing waterproof mascara). The foam cleanser ensures that your skin is really clean and that your moisturizer will absorb better.

We all know that models have to wear a lot of makeup so double cleansing is second nature to them. We don’t recommend any particular brands. A note of caution: If you have dry or combination skin, we recommend that you double cleanse only twice a week because you don’t want to make your skin drier.
