Why is double cleansing essential after makeup?

Double cleansing is a crucial step in any skincare routine, especially after wearing makeup or spending an entire day outdoors. SPF and makeup products like foundation, concealer, and powder can clog your pores and cause breakouts if not removed properly. That's why double cleansing is essential. In this blog, we'll discuss what double cleansing is, why it's important, and how to do it effectively.

What is Double Cleansing?

Double cleansing is a two-step cleansing process that involves using an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser. The oil-based cleanser helps remove makeup, dirt, and oil-based impurities from your skin, while the water-based cleanser helps remove water-based impurities like sweat and bacteria. A makeup removing balm also works wonders. 

Importance of Double Cleansing - 

When you wear makeup, your skin is exposed to various chemicals that can cause damage. For example, long-wearing foundation and waterproof mascara can create a film on your skin that can be challenging to remove with a regular cleanser. If you don't remove these products thoroughly, they can clog your pores and cause acne and breakouts.

How to do it effectively?

Double cleansing is easy to incorporate into your skincare routine, and it doesn't have to take up too much time. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to double cleanse effectively:

Step 1: Start with Berry Much Double Cleansing Balm: Take pea size amount of balm and mix with a few drops of water. Apply the balm on your face and massage for a few seconds. Add some more water and continue massaging the balm till it emulsifies. Wash your face with warm water or wipe with a wet washcloth.

Step 2: Follow up with a Face Wash of your choice: For somebody with dehydrated and sensitive skin, we recommend using Touch Me Not Cream Cleanser, for oily and acne prone skin, we recommend Clean Deep and for dull and dry skin, we recommend No Fuss. 

Take 1 pump of the product onto the palm and gently massage onto the damp face. Add some water and massage until generous lather is formed. Rinse face clean.

Step 3: Pat your face dry with a clean towel or muslin washcloth.

Step 4: Follow up with your regular skincare routine, including face mist, serum, and moisturizer.

It's important to choose a cleanser that's suitable for your skin type. If you have oily skin, choose a water-based cleanser that's lightweight and won't leave a greasy residue. If you have dry skin, choose an oil-based cleanser that's hydrating and won't strip your skin of its natural oils. 

Conclusion -

Double cleansing is an essential step in any skincare routine, especially after wearing makeup, SPF and spending an entire day outdoors. It helps remove makeup, dirt, and impurities from your skin and prevents breakouts and acne. Incorporate double cleansing into your skincare routine to keep your skin healthy, glowing, and beautiful.
