Double Cleansing: The Korean Trend for Deeply Clean Pores

Double cleansing is a Korean beauty trend that cleanses the skin deep into the pores and ensures a radiant, even complexion. The secret lies in the two-step cleansing with an oil cleanser followed by a foam or gel cleanser. We reveal how double cleansing works and which products are perfect for it.

Step 1: Gently Remove Makeup and Oily Residue with an Oil Cleanser

In the first step of double cleansing, the skin is freed from waterproof makeup, sunscreen, dirt and sebum with an oil cleanser. Oil dissolves oil - according to this principle, the oil cleanser removes even stubborn, oily residues particularly thoroughly and gently.

We recommend the NUVASKIN™ Natural Cleansing Oil with jojoba oil, olive oil and vitamin E. The light oil dissolves makeup and impurities in no time and nourishes the skin to a silky softness.

Massage the oil cleanser into the dry skin with circular movements, then stir with a little water to an emulsion. Rinse thoroughly and dab gently dry with a clean towel.

Step 2: Deep Pore Clean Skin with a Foam or Gel Cleanser

The second step is followed by a thorough cleansing with a foam or gel to remove dirt, sweat and residue from the pores and clarify the skin. Choose a cleanser that is tailored to your skin type.

Our favorites for the second cleansing step:

• The Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cleansing Foam with moisturizing snail mucin extract cleanses gently and nourishes the skin to a silky softness - perfect for dry and sensitive skin.

• The Facial Cleansing Gel cleanses mildly yet thoroughly and is ideal for normal and combination skin.

• The Cleansing Foam for the Face frees clogged pores of excess sebum and dirt and is ideal for oily and blemish-prone skin.

Foam the cleanser with a little water in your hands, gently massage it into the damp skin and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Then continue as usual with toner, serum and care.

Who is Double Cleansing Suitable For?

Double cleansing is suitable for all skin types, as the products can be individually adapted. Particularly benefiting can be:

• Combination and oily skin: The thorough cleansing frees clogged pores, regulates sebum production and prevents blemishes.
• Dry and sensitive skin: Oil cleansers are very gentle on the skin and preserve the natural protective barrier. In the second step, use a cleanser without drying out.
• Skin prone to blemishes: The deep pore cleansing can help reduce and prevent pimples and blackheads.
• Anyone who wears a lot of makeup: The two-step cleansing removes even waterproof makeup and stubborn residue particularly thoroughly.

Double cleansing can be used as a daily cleansing ritual in the evening. In the morning, a simple, mild cleansing is usually sufficient.
