It’s Friday night at 8 o’clock, Boston is sleeping, Anthony is working on his podcast, and I’m sitting on the couch watching Love Island (stop judging me, I’m obsessed) in my face mask. THIS IS THE LIFE. Anyway, I wanted to quickly share the products I recently started using when I double cleanse. Before we start, I only double cleanse at night and my skin is more on the oily side so if you’re more dry, double cleansing might not be for you.
If you’ve never heard of double cleansing, let me quickly break it down for you. Basically, as the name states, you’re washing your face twice. First you wash your face with an oil-based cleanser and then after you rinse that off, you use a regular lathering cleanser. The job of the oil based cleanser is to remove makeup, dirt, pollutants, etc. which leaves a nice, clean canvas for your next cleanse to really get into your pores.
I started using these products almost a month ago now which might not seem like a long time but within a few days, I noticed a difference in my skin. My skin has “life” now, it’s soft and glow-y for the first time ever. I’ve always had a hard time with my skin, I’ve had acne since elementary school and it’s always just been very dull and nothing has ever made it look this good.
Back to business…this oil-based cleanser is what I start with at night. It comes with a little mini spatula so you scoop some out and spread it around your DRY face, eyes, neck. As it warms up on your face, it becomes more liquid-y and removes eye makeup, foundation, everything very easily. Once I’m done with that, I use a wet cloth (comes with a cloth, too) and remove the cleanser. You can use just water but I feel that it comes off easier and better with a cleansing cloth. Oh and remember the mask I said I have on? It’s actually this product! I love that it can be used as mask to really hydrate my skin.
Next, I use this cleanser on my damp skin. It lathers like a regular cleanser and I rinse, like normal. This cleanser removes all the dead skin which has made my skin SO soft. Because it is increasing skin cell turnover, you need to make sure you are using face sunscreen every single day (even though, I hope you already are) which is why I’ve linked my favorite face sunscreen in this post.
These two products are really transforming my skin and I can’t wait to see what changes I see in a few months. If you have any questions about double cleansing or any questions about the products above, please comment below. Skincare is something that should make you fresh and renewed when you are using the right products.
Going to try it. I will keep you posted 🙂
