Double cleansing is one of the most useful ideas from Korean skincare. It simply means using an oil-based cleanser first, followed by a water-based cleanser. The oil step dissolves sunscreen, sebum and makeup that water alone cannot fully remove.
Many people skip this step and then wonder why their skin still feels congested or why their products do not absorb as well. When the first cleanse is done gently, the second cleanse can be much milder, which helps protect the skin barrier instead of stripping it.
This method is especially practical in South Africa, where daily sunscreen use and environmental exposure are common. A good oil cleanser makes the evening routine feel more thorough without needing harsh scrubbing.
