Why is double cleansing important, even if you don't wear makeup?
Many people think that double cleansing is only necessary to remove heavy makeup. In reality, it is a beauty habit that can benefit all skin types, even the most sensitive. But why?
Your skin produces oil, dead skin cells, and collects dust and pollution throughout the day. Even if you don't wear makeup, this residue clogs your pores and can cause blemishes, such as blackheads and acne.
Double cleansing, even without makeup, helps to:
- Deeply remove dirt and sebum: The first step, usually with an oil cleanser, dissolves oily impurities, while the second, with a foaming or gel cleanser, removes water-soluble impurities.
- Prevent Blackheads: By thoroughly removing impurities, you reduce the chance of blackheads forming.
- Increase the effectiveness of subsequent products: Clean skin absorbs subsequent treatments, such as serums and moisturizers, better.
- Improve skin texture: Double cleansing helps refine skin texture, making it brighter and more even.
Cleansing mousse and scrub: your allies for perfect skin
- Cleansing mousse: Mousses are generally very gentle and suitable for all skin types. They create a rich foam that cleanses deeply without attacking the skin. They are perfect for the second step of double cleansing, after removing more or less oily dirt with an oily or balm cleanser.
- Scrub: A scrub is an exfoliating product that helps remove dead skin cells, making your skin smoother and brighter. However, it is important not to overdo it: a couple of times a week is enough for most skin types.
How to double cleanse with cleansing mousse and scrub:
- First step: Apply an oil or balm cleanser to your dry face and massage gently. Rinse with warm water.
- Second step: Apply a small amount of cleansing foam to your damp face and massage gently. Rinse thoroughly.
- Scrub (1-2 times a week): After cleansing, apply a gentle scrub to a damp face, avoiding the eye area. Massage in circular motions and rinse.
Additional tips:
- Choose products that suit your skin type: If you have sensitive skin, opt for gentle, fragrance-free products.
- Don't forget your neck and décolleté: These areas also accumulate impurities.
- Drink plenty of water: Hydration is essential for healthy, glowing skin.
- Protect your skin from the sun: Always use adequate sunscreen.
Double cleansing, even without makeup, is a daily care gesture that can make a difference for your skin. By combining cleansing mousse and scrub, you can achieve a deep and delicate cleansing, promoting brighter and more radiant skin.
