Oil cleansing has become a popular skincare routine in recent years, and for good reason. It’s a simple yet effective way to ensure a clean canvas for your skincare products to work their magic. Step 1 in this process is crucial — using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and oil from your face.
The first step in double cleansing is all about breaking down and removing any impurities on your skin’s surface. This step is crucial as it ensures a thorough cleanse, preparing your skin for the next step in your skincare routine. Using an oil-based cleanser, such as the DHC Deep Cleaning Oil or the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleaning Oil (my personal fave), allows the oils in the product to bind with the oils on your skin, breaking down and removing stubborn makeup, SPF, and sebum. These products have gained a cult following for its ability to deeply cleanse and nourish the skin.
