How to choose a cleanser
Good cleansing removes SPF, makeup and sebum without leaving your skin tight. In the evening, double cleansing often helps: first a cleansing oil that dissolves SPF and makeup, then a gentle gel or foam cleanser. In the morning, the second step or just water is usually enough.
You need to remove SPF or makeup in the evening
A hydrophilic oil works well as the first step. It goes on dry skin and turns milky with water. PURITO From Green Cleansing Oil is fragrance-free and also available as a refill.
You want a second cleanse without tightness
Sensitive skin tends to suit gentle foams with a mild pH, such as ETUDE SoonJung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser or ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser. Oilier skin often likes COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser with BHA.
You want to add an occasional exfoliating step
ANUA Rice Enzyme Cleansing Powder turns into a gentle foam with water, no scrubbing needed. Introduce peels such as ANUA Heartleaf LHA Moisture Peeling Gel gradually according to the product's instructions, and do not combine them straight away with other exfoliating products.
When double cleansing makes sense
Double cleansing makes the most sense in the evening, when you need to remove SPF or makeup. The oil step dissolves them, and a gentle gel or foam then cleans your skin.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to double cleanse every evening?
It helps on days when you wear SPF or makeup. Without them, one gentle cleansing step is often enough.
Why does my skin feel tight after cleansing?
Your cleanser may be too strong for your skin, or the water too hot. Try a gentler foam and apply toner or cream straight after washing.
Is a cleansing oil suitable for oily skin?
Yes. A hydrophilic oil rinses off with water and helps dissolve sebum and SPF. Follow it with a second, water-based step.
