Double cleaning. What is it and why is it so necessary?
According to Raquel González, cosmetologist and creator of Byoode, double cleansing is the most important thing to improve the appearance of the skin. Double cleansing is the basic cleansing that should be done every night if we use makeup or sun protection products on a daily basis . It is a type of facial cleansing that consists of 2 phases and in each of them a different cleanser is used.
This because?
Because our skin accumulates two types of impurities, some oil-based and others water-based. Since water and oil don't mix very well, it is necessary to use cleansers that are suitable for each type of dirt.
This type of cleansing will make your skin look as if you've just left a salon. You'll have far fewer blackheads, more even skin, and your routine will be more effective because your skin will be more permeable.
The types of cleaners needed
Balms or oils are best for removing makeup and sunscreen, while gel cleansers are ideal for removing other debris. Each cleanser has a different type of dirt removal and, using both, we will be able to leave the skin free of impurities.
In what order is it done?
It's like sweeping and mopping a floor. With sweeping we remove surface dirt and finish cleaning with a mop. If we only did step two, the floor would maintain levels of dirt.
In this case, to “sweep”, you must first use an oil-based cleanser that allows you to remove makeup and SPF effectively and then remove the rest of the dirt, which is usually less resistant.
