What skin types is double cleansing suitable for?
Double cleansing is suitable for all skin types, but it is particularly beneficial for anyone who regularly applies heavy make-up or sun protection, lives in urban areas with a high exposure to pollution or who has skin prone to becoming oily or clogged.
When should I do double cleansing?

We recommend doing double cleansing every evening as part of your night-time skincare routine, especially if you have applied make-up or sun protection during the day. It’s not necessary in the morning unless your skin is particularly oily or greasy.

Why should I do double cleansing?

Doing double cleansing offers a series of significant benefits for skin:

Compete removal of impurities:

  • Make-up: Many make-up products, especially waterproof ones, do not get completely removed with a single cleanser. Cleansing butter or oil help to effectively dissolve and remove these products.
  • Sun protection: Sun protection is essential for healthy skin but can be difficult to remove. Double cleansing ensures that no residue is left behind that could clog pores

Deep-down cleansing

  • Sebum and grime: The oil-based cleanser removes sebum and fat-soluble grime while the water-based cleanser removes water-soluble impurities such as sweat and dust.
  • Prevention of blemishes: Deep-down cleansing helps to prevent a build-up of sebum and grime in pores, thus reducing the risk of acne and blackheads.

Improved absorption of skincare products:

  • Prepping the skin: Clean skin absorbs subsequent treatments better, such as serums, moisturising creams and other skincare products, making them more effective.

Maintaining skin balance:

  • Intact skin barrier: By using an oil-based cleanser, the skin’s natural lipid barrier is maintained, thus avoiding dryness and irritation.
  • Delicacy: Double cleansing reduces the need to use aggressive cleansers that could damage the skin.

Improves the skin’s brightness and texture:

  • Mild peeling: Double cleansing can help to remove dead skin cells leaving it brighter and more uniform

Better skin texture: Deep-down cleansing helps to improve skin texture leaving it smoother and softer.

Can I do double cleansing even if I don’t wear make-up?

Yes, you can. Double cleansing can be also be done even if you don’t wear make-up. This routine offers numerous benefits even if you don’t wear make-up because it effectively removes deep-down impurities and keeps skin healthy, thus preventing blemishes and improving texture

Can I do double cleansing if I have greasy skin?

Yes, you can. Double cleansing can be very beneficial for greasy skin. Greasy skin tends to produce more sebum that may led to clogged pores and blemishes. Double cleansing, if done correctly, can help to manage excess sebum without drying out your skin.

an I do double cleansing if I have dry skin?

Yes, you can. Double cleansing can even be done on dry skin, provided that the right products are used to avoid making your skin drier. It is important to choose a delicate, hydrating cleanser, such as a make-up removal butter or oil that does not affect the skin’s natural moisture.

How many times a day should double cleansing be done?

Double cleansing is normally recommended twice a day, in the morning and evening.

  • Evening: The evening double cleansing is the most important because it helps to effectively remove make-up, pollution and impurities that have built up during the day.
  • Morning: Double cleansing can also be useful in the morning, especially if you have greasy or mixed skin. Your skin continues to produce sebum and eliminate toxins at night.

However, the frequency may vary depending on skin type and individual needs. If you have dry or sensitive skin, you should perform this procedure in the evening only, and cleanse your face in the morning with a simple water-based foaming cleanser such as our Fria mousse.

Who invented double cleansing?

Double cleansing is a skincare practice that has its origins in East Asian beauty traditions, particularly in South Korea and Japan. This technique has become popular globally due to the spread of K-beauty (Korean beauty) and J-beauty (Japanese beauty), which have brought sophisticated and methodical approaches to skincare to the forefront.
