Double cleaning. First of all: yes, you need it

From South Korea we received an abundance of cosmetic trends. What if the ten-step routines (how little respect for cosmetic laziness), snail slime, bee venom... We have not embraced any of them, or not for more than the time that the fashion lasted, except that of double cleansing. And before you ask, yes, you need it. We will tell you that always, but since we do not believe in cosmetic dogmas, we would better tell you that almost always. Although we apply it religiously every night and many mornings.

What is double cleansing?

There is no mystery: it is cleansing your face twice. In two steps with two different products:

The first time, with an oily product (balm, oil) that will remove greasy products such as protector sun, makeup, oily eye contours...

The second time, with a water-based product (gel, foam, gelatin, micellar water) that will remove dirt, pollution, impurities and leave the pores much cleaner.

Do you need double cleaning?

Yes. Because if you wear makeup, you need it; If not but you use SPF (which we hope you do and always), you need it; And if not, yes, because the skin produces sebum and sweat that eliminates this double cleansing. We highly recommend it at night. And because everything cleansing your face is a "YES" in capital letters.

4 keys to perform double cleaning under conditions

1. Combination and oily skin accepts cleansing oils very well because they balance sebum without leaving the skin tight.
2. A cleanser that leaves your skin tight is not your cleanser. The skin will react with sebum or irritability. Don't confuse tight skin with clean skin. 
3. We recommend remove the oily cleanser (balm or oil) with a muslin to clean the dirt much better.
4. If you're lazy, use a cleaner that double cleans itself. Jelly Cleanser by Quinque begins as a balm that with massage transforms into oil and upon contact with water it transforms into a milk.
