Why You Should Be Double Cleansing (Even If You Don’t Wear Makeup)
Let’s talk about one of the simplest habits that can completely shift your skin health: double cleansing.
If you’ve ever felt like your cleanser isn’t quite doing enough, or your products don’t seem to be working as well as they should, this one’s for you.
Double cleansing is exactly what it sounds like: cleansing your skin twice at night. And while it might seem like an extra step, it’s actually one of the easiest ways to set your skin up for success,especially if you’re investing in good skincare.
Here are 3 powerful reasons to double cleanse every evening:
⸻
1. Remove the day, properly
Makeup, SPF, sweat, pollution, and general grime from the day build up on the skin, and a single cleanse often isn’t enough to remove it all. Your first cleanse (often an oil or balm cleanser) helps break down these surface-level impurities. The second cleanse (usually a gentle gel or cream cleanser) gives your skin a proper clean, working deeper to ensure your skin is truly fresh.

2. Your products will absorb better
When your skin isn’t properly cleansed, your serums and moisturisers can’t penetrate the skin effectively. Double cleansing clears the way so your active ingredients (like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, retinol, or enzymes) can actually do their job, which means better results, faster.

3. You’ll see real skin improvements
Clients often tell me their skin feels smoother, brighter, and more balanced within weeks of adopting a consistent double cleanse. It’s one of those foundational habits that can support all skin types,whether you’re targeting breakouts, dryness, dullness, or just maintaining a healthy barrier.

Final Thoughts
Double cleansing doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive, but it does need to be consistent. Think of it as your non-negotiable evening ritual. Your skin will thank you.
