Been out in the sun today? If so, did you slather on the SPF? Well done!
Now, time for a double cleanse to get everything OFF - remember, double cleansing is TWICE AS NICE and can really make all the difference when trying to maintain a healthy, radiant complexion.
What is double cleansing?
Quite literally, it is using two cleansers, one after the other, to ensure you thoroughly remove all makeup, sunscreen and other impurities thus allowing the products you apply after cleansing to work effectively. We think double cleansing is most beneficial at night. Make sense?
Your first cleanse is one of the most important things you can do for your skin, ‘taking the day away’ if you will. Use a good quality cleanser, looking for oil-based or balm products, but don’t spend all of your money on this step. You are literally going to watch it wash down the sink. Work into your skin for at least 60 seconds, before removing with a warm facecloth.
For your second cleanse, use your favourite nourishing cleanser that is formulated to benefit your skin type or specific skin concern (this can be the same as your morning cleanser!) Spend some time working it into your face, concentrating on your nose, chin and between your eyes. Use your warm facecloth to lightly wipe away your product. No, using just your hands to wash off product isn’t good enough - facecloths are much more effective at making sure you have removed everything and they have the added benefit of light exfoliation.
