Natural cosmetics and beauty routines are like life itself: they change and adapt to the new demands of everyday life. Cleansing your skin has always been very important, not only for healthy-looking skin, but also for healthy, protective skin .
Double cleansing is a very interesting practice that you can start practicing today, as it offers numerous bodily benefits. In this article, we explain everything you need to know and offer tips on how to add it to your beauty routine.
What is double facial cleansing?
Double cleansing is a cleansing method that works as follows: you use a more oil-based cleanser (oil, butter, milk) and a water-based cleanser (gel, soap, etc.).
In the first step we eliminate everything that is fat-soluble, such as:
- the remains of makeup
- sunscreen
- pollution
- excess sebum
- the dirt
In the second case, we eliminate everything that is soluble in water, such as sweat.
How to do a facial cleansing at home?
Facial cleansing at home is very simple and intuitive. Here are the steps to follow:
- Start by applying the oil-based cleanser to your hands and massage your face in circular motions. Focus on the eye area: you can even gently massage your eyelashes.
- To remove this first layer, we recommend using a muslin cloth. Wet it with warm water and gently wipe it over your face.
- Apply the second cleanser, this time the water-based one, with water.
- Rinse with cold water.
- Once you've double cleansed, we recommend using a toner to rebalance your skin's pH.
Benefits of facial cleansing
The benefits of facial cleansing are many:
- A deeper skin cleansing is achieved
- The hydrolipidic film is not altered
- Pimples, redness, blackheads, etc. are reduced.
- You get soft, smooth, and tight-free skin.
- It can be done on all skin types
People with oily skin shouldn't fear this cleansing, as the first step not only removes dirt but also excess sebum.
Additionally, as we mentioned before, during this cleansing process, the product is removed with organic cotton muslin, not with makeup remover wipes or cotton pads. This allows us to reduce waste and treat our skin with more compassion and care .
Facial cleansing products
To be successful in this deep double facial cleansing, it is important to use high-quality products .
At Saper, we make natural and organic cosmetics with highly nutritious active ingredients.
To perform this double facial cleansing at home, we recommend using:
- Clear Look Almond & Apricot Makeup Remover Oil : This natural makeup remover with almond, apricot, and sesame oil removes all types of makeup, both from the eyes and lips. It's important to apply it all over your face in circular motions for a few minutes. Don't rub it off, as it can be used as the first step in a double cleanse.
- Calendula Nutritive Soap : This organic soap bar is ideal for removing makeup . It softens, tones, and deeply moisturizes the skin, refining pores and restoring its radiance. You can use it as a second step in a double cleanse.
- The "Fresh Flower Tonic" floral facial toner is ideal for finishing off a double facial cleanse. It leaves a refreshing and soothing sensation thanks to aloe vera and rose water. This combination regenerates, soothes, and balances the skin's pH. It also increases the absorption of active ingredients applied afterward, such as those in the serum, for example.
The ideal, based on our own experience, is to do this double facial cleansing twice a day : in the morning we eliminate all the toxins that our skin has expelled during the night, and in the afternoon we eliminate all the toxins that have been deposited on our skin during the day.
