A captivating debate has entered the beauty chat room and captured the attention of skincare aficionados: the double cleansing dilemma.
The question: Is double cleansing necessary or is it just another skincare fad to get us all to buy more products?
Proponents of double cleansing swear by its ability to thoroughly remove makeup, impurities, and pollutants that accumulate throughout the day. The first step, usually an oil-based cleanser, works to break down and dissolve the day's grime. The second step, often a water-based cleanser, provides a deeper clean, ensuring no residue is left behind. The idea is that this meticulous process leaves the skin truly clean, allowing subsequent skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
Too Much of a Good Thing?
Of course, there are always sceptics! Some claim that double cleansing is completely unnecessary and can strip the skin of its natural oils, potentially leading to dryness or irritation. They argue that for most skin types, a single cleanse is more than sufficient, preventing unnecessary disruption to the skin's moisture barrier…
