Double Cleansing: Your Path to Radiant Skin this Summer
Double cleansing on the days you wear a lot of makeup and skin care can be really beneficial, but it becomes especially important during summer when you're slathering on sunscreen to protect your skin from the Australian sun. With increased layers of sunblock, sweat, and environmental pollutants, it’s crucial to ensure that your skin is thoroughly cleansed at the end of the day.
What is Double Cleansing?
Double cleansing is a skincare process where you first use an oil-based cleanser to break down makeup, sunscreen, and sebum, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities. This method ensures a deep clean, unclogs pores, and leaves your skin perfectly prepped for the rest of your skincare regimen. Throughout the hotter months, especially, having a quick and easy routine, with products you can trust, is going to enable you to maintain a consistent, healthy skin barrier.
Step 1: Begin with an Oil-Based cleanser
The first step in a thorough double cleansing routine involves using an oil-based cleanser. This type of cleanser effectively dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum, making it an ideal choice for removing stubborn products and impurities.
The Jojoba Activating Cleansing Oil is packed with natural Australian Jojoba and sunflower seed oil, which work together to gently unclogs pores and melts away all traces of makeup, excess sebum, and dirt. This oil-based cleanser helps maintain moisture and leaves your skin feeling hydrated, ready for the next step in your routine.
How To Apply
For optimum use, apply directly to dry skin and then add water to activate the product. Once used over the whole face, rinse with water.
Step 2: Follow Up with a Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser
After removing the bulk of makeup and impurities with your oil-based cleanser, the next step is to use a gentle exfoliating cleanser. This second cleanse will remove any remaining impurities as well as any dead skin cells. Prioritising natural exfoliating agents and hydrating ingredients will help to soften and refresh your skin without causing irritation.
The Jojoba Bead Cleanser’s natural formula offers a creamy, gentle exfoliation. Unlike some exfoliants, this cleanser maintains your skin's hydration, by using ingredients such as Aloe Vera, while also buffing and regenerating your skin using Jojoba Beads and Papaya. Using this product, after the activating cleansing oil, ensures a cleansed and nourished base, for all skin types.
How To Apply
Massage the cleanser, with your fingertips, into your skin. Ensure to rinse well after cleansing.
Final Touch: Finish with a Toner
To complete your double cleansing routine, finish with an exfoliating toner. This last step focuses on refining your skin's texture, minimising the appearance of pores and brightening your complexion. However, It is important to prioritise gentle and hydrating elements that exfoliate without damaging your skin barrier.
The Daily Glow PHA Exfoliating Tonic, not only, supports healthy skin but also provides barrier repair. With gentle, active ingredients, this toner exfoliates the skin surface while deeply hydrating and nourishing your skin.
How To Apply
After cleansing, apply 3-5 drops onto your face and neck. For the best absorption apply the toner by tapping, rather than rubbing, or apply it onto slightly damp skin. Serums and moisturisers can then be used after this.
