Double facial cleansing: the best practices for clean, soft, and comfortable skin.
What if the secret to clean and comfortable skin started with a good cleanse? Inspired by Asian beauty rituals, double facial cleansing involves cleansing your skin in two complementary steps. A simple method that removes makeup, sunscreen, and impurities accumulated throughout the day, while prioritizing gentleness.
Discover the origins of double cleansing, its benefits, and how to easily incorporate it into your skincare routine.
What is double facial cleansing?
Double cleansing is a skincare method that involves cleansing your face in two steps, using two different textures.
- The first step uses an oil-based product, such as a makeup remover balm, which helps dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum.
- The second uses a water-based cleanser, such as a cleansing foam, to remove remaining impurities and complete the cleansing.
This method combines two complementary steps to cleanse the face, prioritizing gentle and delicate actions.
Where does double cleansing come from?
Double cleansing originated in Japanese beauty rituals, where makeup removal and facial cleansing play an important role in daily care.
This practice later became widely popular thanks to Korean beauty routines, also known as K-beauty, which pay special attention to preparing the skin before applying skincare products.
Today, double cleansing easily fits into a beauty routine, especially in the evening after a day spent wearing makeup or sunscreen.
What are the benefits of double cleansing for the skin?
Adopting double cleansing allows you to complete your facial cleansing routine with two steps that have complementary functions.
1. Start cleansing with a balm texture
The first step uses an oil-based product, such as a balm, used to gently massage the face and begin the cleansing.
2. Remove the last impurities
The second step, with a cleansing foam, completes the cleansing by removing remaining impurities.
3. Prioritize a gentle and comfortable cleanse
By choosing suitable textures and delicate actions, double cleansing fits into a routine that prioritizes the gentleness and comfort of the skin.
4. Prepare the skin to receive its skincare products
Once cleansed, the skin is ready for the next steps in the routine: serum, moisturizer, or nourishing treatment.
How to perform a double facial cleanse?
To easily incorporate this ritual into your daily routine, Les Petits Prödiges have created a Double Cleansing Routine combining two complementary products: the Magic Balm and the Hydrating Cleansing Foam.
A combination of melting and airy textures to transform facial cleansing into a true moment of pleasure.
Step 1: The Magic Balm to start makeup removal
For the first step, use the Les Petits Prödiges Magic Balm.
Thanks to its rich texture, it can be used to gently massage the face and help dissolve makeup and oil-based products on the skin.
This first step allows you to begin cleansing while adding a sensory dimension to your beauty routine.
Step 2: The Hydrating Cleansing Foam to complete the cleansing
After the balm, it's time for the Les Petits Prödiges Hydrating Cleansing Foam.
Made with 96% ingredients of natural origin, it combines a 3% biomimetic hydrating complex and proline.
Its formula helps remove impurities while preserving the skin's hydration and comfort. Its airy and generous texture leaves the skin soft, supple, and fresh, with a pleasant feeling of cleanliness.
How to use it? Apply 1 to 2 pumps to damp skin, gently massage the face, then rinse with water.
Suitable for sensitive skin, the Hydrating Cleansing Foam can also be used alone, morning and evening, depending on your skin's needs.
