If there's one step in the Korean skincare routine that can truly transform your skin, it's double cleansing . It might sound like double work, but it's the ultimate way to keep your skin clean, fresh, and radiant.
What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing simply means that you cleanse your skin in two steps:
1. First cleanse (oil-based) – removes makeup, sunscreen, sebum and oil-based dirt.
2. Second cleansing (water-based) – cleanses the skin of sweat, dust, makeup residue and dead skin cells.

Why does it work so well?
- It really removes makeup and SPF completely
- It prevents clogged pores
- Your skin can absorb products better
- Mild but effective
How do you do double cleansing?
1. Step 1: Oil Cleanser
• Gently massage an oil or balm cleanser into dry skin.
• Add a little water so that the oil emulsifies (becomes milky).
• Rinse with lukewarm water.

2. Step 2: Water-based cleanser
• Use a foaming or gel cleanser.
• Massage in and rinse.
• Gently pat your face dry.
