5 Tips for “Double Cleansing” Your Skin

5 Tips for “Double Cleansing” Your Skin

Double cleansing — washing your face twice, oil-based then water-based — is one of Korean skincare’s best exports. Here’s how to do it right.

How It Works

First cleanse: an oil-based cleanser that dissolves makeup, sunscreen, sebum, and environmental buildup. Second cleanse: a water-based cleanser that deep-cleans pores and brightens. Think of it like shampooing and conditioning — two steps, each doing different work.

1. Take It Slow

Introduce new products one at a time, giving your skin a week to adjust between changes. Massage each cleanser in for up to two minutes — dermatologists say this is when the active ingredients actually do their work.

2. Know Your Skin Type

Cream cleansers are more hydrating than foaming ones. Jojoba oil is excellent for sensitive skin. Research ingredients that work with your skin’s specific needs before buying anything.

3. Pat, Don’t Scrub

Between cleanses, pat dry with a clean towel — leaving a little moisture on the skin. Scrubbing with a towel undoes some of what you just did.

4. Go Sustainable

Reusable cotton rounds replace disposable wipes and save significant plastic over time. Once you find an oil cleanser you love, you can eventually make your own — saving money and packaging.

5. Lock It In

Finish with moisturizer while your skin is still slightly damp. This seals in hydration rather than letting it evaporate. In the morning, always follow with SPF — or wear a JudyP UPF 50 top to handle the body coverage.
