What is double cleansing? Double cleansing actually means using two different types of cleansers to properly remove impurities and thoroughly cleanse your skin. It's a simple-yet-effective process, especially when you have makeup on. First, apply an oil-based cleanser to your face to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sweat. Then, use a foaming cleanser that will clear pores of residual oil and grime.<br /><br />Why double cleanse? Simply put, oil and water don’t mix and you need both to draw out and remove both the oil (makeup, excess sebum, sunscreen) and water-based impurities on your face. The water-based foaming wash allows the surfactants (cleansing agents) to penetrate the layers of skin, since you have cleared away the oil barrier that would otherwise prevent this from happening. Water-based impurities, such as sweat and environmental pollutants, can then be properly removed.<br /><br />You can check out more from Always Sunday on their website and Instagram.
