The Double Cleanse

why not.... double cleanse? 🧼 - let’s start with why you should. everyday our skin - specially on our face - is exposed to air pollution, heat and humidity, sweat, the oil produced by our skin, masks, cell phones, layers of sunscreen and/or makeup we might wear. multiply some of these concerns by at least two if you’re in a romantic relationship with someone AND if you have young children or pets, factor in their inevitable grubbiness as well 🦠 ! so when you wash your face... do it twice. the formal name for this routine is what skin care gurus call “the double cleanse.” with origins in the 10-step Korean skin care routine, the double cleanse quite simply means using two different cleansers — one with oil, followed by another with water — to try to get your face as clean as possible, without irritating your skin. the method hinges on the science-backed principle that the oil-based cleanser will melt + remove excess oil and oil-based product residue sitting on the surface, and the water-based cleanser will wash your epidermis and get rid of any pore-clogging dirt that remains, revealing perhaps the cleanest skin and clearest pores you’ll ever know ✨✨ - the lāyers line has your back if you want to add the double cleanse to your routine, you won’t regret it.
