What is Double Cleansing and why is it necessary?

Let's face it - after a long day of makeup, smog and other grime, your skin needs a deep cleanse. But did you know that your face can absorb up to 60 times more junk at night than you think? Even if you've wiped your face thoroughly, there's still residue left behind that can irritate and disrupt your skin. That is why double cleansing is the secret trick for radiant, healthy and youthful skin.

What exactly is double cleansing?
Double cleansing is a two-step cleaning method that consists of:

• A micellar cleansing water or oil to dissolve makeup, dirt and excess sebum
• A foaming cleanser to deeply purify the skin and remove the last residues

By first using a micellar water, you essentially pull all the dirt out of your skin. The foaming cleanser then tackles the last leftovers for a truly thorough clean. Bye bye, junk!

Why should you double cleanse?
If you only use a foaming cleanser, there may be residue left behind that causes blockages and irritation. Not nice! Double cleansing ensures that your skin is really clean and fresh, without becoming dehydrated.

A thorough cleanse is also essential for the effectiveness of your other skin care products. If there is make-up or dirt on your skin, active ingredients in serums and creams can be absorbed less well. It's a shame to waste the beautiful skincare products in your bathroom. Double cleansing prepares your skin for the rest of your routine.

Are there any more benefits to double cleansing?
But there's more! By properly cleansing your skin with double cleansing, you not only remove makeup and dirt, but also pollutant particles that cause oxidative stress and free radicals. These factors contribute to the breakdown of collagen and the formation of wrinkles and pigment spots. Clean skin also allows anti-aging skincare to be better absorbed.

This is how you double cleanse properly
For the first step, use our Cleanse like a boss - Micellar Make-up Remover . Apply some water to your face and massage the micellar water with a cotton ball. The micelles in the water attract dirt and makeup like a magnet and rinse it away. Bye bye, junk!

Then rinse your face with water. For the second step, use the Daily Detox Delight - Foaming Mousse . Apply some foam to your wet skin and massage gently. Then rinse thoroughly with water. Voilà, a clean, fresh base!

When should you double cleanse?
Double cleanse in the evening before going to bed. In the morning, a single cleaning with the foaming mousse is usually sufficient. Don't forget to hydrate your skin afterwards with a nourishing moisturizer, which can do its job extra well.

With double cleansing you give your skin a fresh start. No more makeup, dirt or excess sebum that can irritate your skin. Just a clean, radiant base for the rest of your routine. Tasty!
