IT DEPENDS!
Because before talking about cleaning, we must especially talk about facial impurities! Impurities are classified into two groups:
- FAT FANS = lipids called lipophilic
eg: sebum, makeup residue or sunscreen.
- WATER ADDICTS = hydrophiles
eg: certain pollutants, dust or sweat.
OIL ATTRACTS OIL AND WATER ATTRACTS WATER!
As you may know , oil attracts oil and water attracts water ! So in theory, double cleansing seems like a good way to get rid of all types of impurities from your face because it combines:
#1 Cleaning with a “greasy” product (=lipid).
You can then use an oil or an oily balm.
#2 Cleaning with an aqueous product.
You have the choice between gel, milk or mousse textures.
This technique has been used for hundreds of years by Japanese Geishas, but this sudden need to apply it to all skin types is more of a marketing opportunity: selling twice as many products.
