Double-cleaning: how to adopt it?
Find out why double cleansing is essential for beautiful, healthy skin, how to do it and find your perfect duo!
Why double-clean?
Double-cleaning makes all the difference. Here's why:
-
Impurities, make-up and pollution particles irritate and sensitize your skin, so it's essential to remove them.
-
Active products penetrate much better on clean skin.
-
It's also an anti-aging gesture: cleansing your skin properly helps prevent premature skin aging, because when it's clean, it can regenerate better.
-
Double cleansing is ideal for combating blackheads and microcysts, preventing shine and dilated poreswithout drying out or irritating the skin.
Is double cleansing suitable for all skin types?
Yes, but it must be adapted to your skin type so as not to dry out or irritate your skin:
-
For dry and/or sensitive skin, opt for a gentle oil and a cleansing milk or cream.
-
For combination to oily skin, opt for a light oil and a purifying gel.
-
For skin prone to imperfections, choose a non-comedogenic oil and a gentle cleanser.

Why is it important to cleanse your skin?
This simple gesture can make all the difference, especially since facial cleansing is often poorly done, neglected or carried out with unsuitable products. Whatever your skin type, it's the first step to take before going further with more specific products to care for your face. Good cleansing is therefore essential for beautiful, healthy, luminous skin(It's this step that will change your skin texture, tighten pores and bring out your radiance!)
Because impurities, make-up and external aggressors like pollution irritate and sensitize the skin, and poor cleansing means a dull complexion. What's more, when skin is clean, the active ingredients in your skincare products penetrate much more easily. What's more, cleansing the skin is a formidable anti-aging gesture ! In fact, cleansing your skin properly helps to prevent premature skin ageing, and also enables it to regenerate better at night. Visit double cleansing is also an infallible weapon against blackheads, micro-cysts and small imperfections. Proper cleansing helps to purify the skin and prevent excess sebum and dilated pores.
Things to avoid when cleansing your skin
-
Micellar water Micellar water: originally created for backstage use on the catwalk, to remove make-up between shows. These lotions are very rich in detergents that denature the hydrolipidic film. And when the lipid barrier is altered, dehydration and sensitivities follow!
-
Make-up remover wipes This is the same problem as with micellar water, because wipes are a nomadic product designed for exceptional use. Impurities are displaced rather than removed. Here too, the skin can react by multiplying irritations and pimples.
-
Just water To eliminate impurities, they need to be encapsulated in a "vehicle". Applying just water to your face is useless. Imagine the result if you washed your dishes with just a little water...
- Shower gel For the body, this product is often packed with foaming detergents and colorants. It therefore dissolves the hydrolipidic film, resulting in dehydrated skin and sensitivities.
