Double Cleansing: Is It Really Necessary? Here’s the Tea!
Double Cleansing: Is It Really Necessary? Here’s the Tea!
By Flora, Art Director
We’ve all heard it—double cleansing is K-beauty’s secret weapon for that glass skin glow. But is it actually a must-do, or just another time-suck in your already busy day? Let’s spill the tea on whether double cleansing is worth the hype—and how to make it work for you.
🧐What’s the Deal with Double Cleansing?
It’s simpler than it sounds: two steps, one goal—super clean, super happy skin. First, you use an oil-based or cream-based cleanser to melt away makeup, sunscreen, and all that daily gunk. Then, follow up with a foam cleanser to wash away sweat, dirt, and any leftovers. Trust me, it’s like hitting the reset button for your face.
☝️Why Bother?
Here’s why K-beauty pros (and your fave K-pop idols) swear by it:
✨ Cleaner Than Clean — Oil and cream cleansers grab makeup and SPF like magnets. Foam cleansers then sweep away any grime that’s left behind.
✨ No Breakouts, No Drama — Keeps pores clear and banishes those surprise zits.
✨ Ready to Glow — Clean skin means your toners and serums can actually do their job.
💡 Pro Tip: Cream cleansers are a secret weapon too—super gentle and perfect for sensitive or dry skin days.
