Beauty routine: Double cleansing!

At the end of the day, it is necessary to properly cleanse our face for clear, healthy skin! The skin needs to oxygenate and renew itself overnight. But when you wear makeup or sun protection, or are exposed to pollution, a simple cleanser is not enough. 

There is no point in applying the best skincare products to your skin if it is not properly cleansed and ready to receive them.

If there is one crucial step to remember and apply, it is double cleansing!

But what exactly is double cleansing?

Inspired by layering, an Asian ritual that advocates superimposing layers of skincare to be effective, double cleansing is, as the name suggests, a two-step cleansing process. It involves starting with an oil-based product (makeup removing oil) and finishing with a more water-based product (a gel, milk, or foam). Two steps and two different galenic forms (a term used to describe the texture of a cosmetic product) for a fresh complexion and perfectly cleansed skin. 

Is it appropriate for all skin types?

YES! Even the most sensitive, and especially the most sensitive, because they need to be perfectly cleansed to regenerate and strengthen themselves. The makeup removers and cleansers we offer are very gentle with an acidic pH that does not harm our epidermis. This is why sensitive skin is all the more encouraged to practice double cleansing!

Ideal for all skin types, this simple technique helps with proper cell renewal. Just because there are two steps does not mean the skin is irritated; on the contrary, it involves two gentle products that each have their own mission. This is what allows the hydrolipidic film to regenerate!

• 1st step: A 100% oil-based product to remove all oil-based impurities!

By starting with an oily texture, you help remove all lipophilic (oil-attracting) impurities like makeup, sun protection, pollution, and sebum. Like attracts like!

Application tips for oils:

Pour a little oil into the palm of your hand and massage your face and eyes to remove all impurities. Then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water using a reusable cotton pad to remove the excess oil, which carries away makeup, sunscreen, pollution, and sebum.

• 2nd step: A water-based cleanser to perfect the cleansing!

 

The water-based texture that follows will eliminate the remaining hydrophilic impurities and best clear clogged pores. A complementary duo for clear skin and unclogged pores!

To conclude your cleansing, using a cleansing jelly, foam, or milk is essential. The choice of this cleanser will depend on your preferences but also on your skin concerns: sensitive, blemish-prone, dull, mature skin...

Take advantage of this step to provide your epidermis with the active ingredients it needs.
