Sunscreen and makeup are made to stay put, so a single foam wash often leaves some behind. Double cleansing removes them in two gentle steps.
Step one: oil
Massage a cleansing oil over a dry face for about a minute. Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse.
Step two: water-based cleanser
Follow with a low pH gel or foam to remove what is left. Skin should feel clean and soft, never squeaky.
When to skip it
In the morning a single gentle cleanse, or just water, is enough.
