DOUBLE CLEANSING

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

Do any of you remove your makeup w/ a cleanser and then wash your face again?

I was speaking w/ a friend today who said she does this every night and I’d be shocked how much extra “stuff” comes off on a white washcloth.

Just washed and showered (half time)....tried the double cleanse: Removed makeup as usual w/ my Bobbi Brown oil, rinsed, etc. Then I cleansed again w/ my Cetaphil gentle cleanser. Most of what I missed was around my hair line and neck area behind ears where I put the tinted spf so it showed up the 2nd cleanse.

OMG! You can teach old dogs new tricks!

@Shanus This is part of the Asian multi-step skincare routine. Many will use a cleansing oil first and follow up with a foaming cleanser at night. I consider my PM cleansing to be a 2-step process but it's modified. I'll start with either a cleansing wipe or micellar water on a cotton pad to get the surface dirt and makeup off. Then I follow up with a cleansing oil - rub that all over my dry face add water to turn it into a milk and use my Foreo Luna dupe. Rinse well, pat dry, and follow up with my treatment products and moisturizer.

I take my eye makeup off with an eyemakeup remover pad then use SKINN cleansing cloth then I wash my face with Paul Mitchell Tea Tree soap.

I do cleanse twice. I use a foaming cleanser followed by micellar water, or foaming cleanser plus a bit of cleansing powder followed by micellar water.

I've tried so many methods. My mother-in-law had beautiful skin, and used a cleansing cream in the evening. I recently tried this, and had breakouts by the 4th day. I then used Purity after the cleansing cream on day 5, and was also shocked at my washcloth.

@mac116 It was a real eye opener, right?

BB is a great oil.

BBrown was my 1st oil cleanser.. good quality..

However I can't double cleanse, I see why people do but my skin is way too dry now [post menopause - yuk] I've tried several x's to double wash but it strips my skin raw, it gets squeaky clean with simply using oils. I hear you about getting residual makeup off but it's not worth it for me. I never breakout from my 1st oil cleanse and my skin is pretty good so far. I'm have a Mia [sitting here doing nothing] I wish I was loving this device but even with the most gentle brush head it was just too much, harsh.

EDIT: I Do however use a facial wipe or micellar wipe now that these are on the market then use my oil cleanser but always separate eye makeup remover! eye makeup remover but no soap/detergent type 2nd type cleanser..guess this doesn't count as a 2nd cleanse but seems good for moi (but not by Asian cleansing standards!)

I always wash my face twice. Once to remove makeup and then again to clean off anything that I might have missed. I have done it this way since I was a young teenager. Just want to make sure my face is really clean before I put on my moisturizer for the night.
