Natural cosmetics and beauty routines are like life: they change and adapt to the new demands of everyday life. Cleansing the skin has always been very important, not only to look healthy, but also to have a healthy skin that protects us.
Double facial cleansing is a very interesting practice that you can incorporate starting today, as it has numerous body benefits. In this article we explain all about it and give you tips on how to add it to your beauty routine.
What is double facial cleansing?
Double facial cleansing is a cleansing method that works as follows: you use a cleanser with a greasier base (oil, butter, milk) and a cleanser with a water base (gel, soap…).
In the first step what we do is eliminate everything that is fat soluble, such as:
- traces of make-up
- sunscreen
- pollution
- excess sebum
- the dirt
In the second case, we eliminate everything that is water-soluble, 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. Emphasize the eye contour: you can even do a gentle massage on the eyelashes.
- To remove this first layer, we recommend using a muslin. Wet it with lukewarm water and gently sweep it over your face.
- Apply the second cleaner, this time the water-based one, with water.
- Rinse with cold water.
- After double cleansing, we recommend using a toner to rebalance the skin’s pH.
Benefits of facial cleansing
The benefits of facial cleansing are many:
- A deeper cleansing of the skin is achieved
- The hydrolipidic film is not altered.
- Pimples, redness, blackheads… are reduced.
- The skin is soft, smooth and free of tightness.
- Can be performed on all skin types
People with oily skin should not be afraid of this cleansing, as the first step not only removes dirt, but also excess sebum.
In addition, as mentioned above, in this cleansing process the product is removed with organic cotton muslin, not with make-up remover wipes or absorbent cotton. This allows us to reduce waste and treat our skin with more compassion and pampering.
Facial cleansing products
To succeed in this double deep cleansing facial, it is important to use high quality products.
At Saper, we produce natural and organic cosmetics, with highly nourishing active ingredients.
To perform this double facial cleansing at home, we recommend using:
- The “Clear Look – Almond & Apricot“make-up remover oil: this natural make-up remover with almond, apricot and sesame oil removes all types of make-up, both eye and lip make-up. It is important to apply it all over the face with circular movements for a couple of minutes, do not remove it, as it can be used as the first step of the double cleansing.
- Calendula Nutritive Soap: this bar of organic calendula soap is ideal for
organic soap is ideal for make-up removal
. Smoothes, tones and deeply moisturizes the skin, refines pores and restores radiance. You can use it as the second step of the double cleansing.
- The “Fresh Flower Tonic” is a floral tonic for the face and is ideal for finishing the double facial cleansing. Leaves a refreshing and soothing sensation thanks to aloe vera and rose water. Their combination regenerates, soothes and balances the pH of the skin. It also increases the absorption of the active ingredients to be applied later, such as those in the serum, for example.
The ideal, from 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 evening we eliminate all the toxins that have been deposited on our skin during the day.
