The first step in double-cleansing is oil-based cleansing. The purpose of this step is to deeply cleanse without damaging the skin.
Oil-based cleansers are able melt away oily particles and lift away all those impurities that have built up during the day which includes make-up, sunscreen, sebum and more. One misconception is that if you don't go out or use make-up during the day, you don't need an oil-cleanser, however oil can naturally build up on your face throughout the day so make sure to not skip this step!
Our Solid Cleansing Oil or Milk & Peel Balm are perfect for this step. The secret is, you have to use the balm on dry skin and gently rub in circular motions all over in order to melt impurities on your face. Once you add water, the balm turns into a milky, nourishing solution that rinses all the dirt and oils away.
Oil-based cleansing is suitable for all skin types – dry, combination, and even oily because it's followed by water-based cleansing!
