Double Cleansing Technique

With the double-cleansing approach, makeup and other skin care products, such as serums and  sunscreen, can be removed with the balm. Then, you’re going to want to apply the cleansing  oil to remove dirt and oil from your pores and prevent blackheads and other skin problems.  With this method, you will be getting your skin ready for subsequent treatments as well. 

Double cleansing was first proposed in Japan and South Korea. People believe that geishas in  Japan used cleaning oils and then a foaming cleanser to remove their heavy white makeup.  Korean skin care, which has gained popularity in the West in recent years, also employs this  method. 

HOW DO YOU DO IT? 

You just need a small amount, sufficient to cover your entire face. 

Massage the oil-based cleanser into your skin for about a minute in circular motions with  your fingers. Mind the area around your eyes and the tips of your hair. 

Oil-based cleansers with an emulsifier tend to be more effective in removing makeup and dirt, while foam-based cleansers will go deeper into your skin working to treat blackheads and large pores that appear over time. Rinse with lukewarm water and wipe the skin dry with a soft  towel. 

Always check the labels of the products you're using and make any necessary adjustments for  your skin type. Yessé offers a complete double cleansing set for your skin type. 

HOW MANY TIMES A DAY? 

In the evening, most people double cleanse. All things considered, this is when your face is  most likely to be covered with dirt and makeup. But because sebum is produced as you sleep,  this approach can be used in the morning as well. 

To achieve the best results, establish a daily regimen that works for you and stick to it. It's okay  if you miss a morning or evening double cleanse; just start where you left off the following day. 

WHAT DO YOU NEED? 

The type of cleansers you should use depends on the type of skin you have. There are,  however, a few basics to keep in mind. 

Cleansers that include sulphates or irritating chemicals like synthetic scent or alcohol should be avoided  at all costs.

Make sure the products' pH levels are in order as well. To maintain a healthy pH level on  your skin, search for a cleanser that has a pH of around 5. 

For each type of skin, Yessé has a cleanser set to match your skin type. 

∙ People with normal skin don't need to worry about anything specific, but it's still a good  idea to use moisturising or creamy formulas to keep their skin soft and hydrated. 

∙ Skin that is particularly dry or sensitive should always opt for products that are mild and  won't cause irritation. Skin can be kept from drying out even further by using products  like jojoba oil and shea butter, which have a pH level of 7. 

∙ If you have oily or acne-prone skin, try using mild cleansers. Ingredients like vitamin E  and glycolic acid, which have been shown to reduce acne inflammation, should be  given special consideration if you have acne. 

∙ If you have combination or mixed skin, you should look for cleansers that won't irritate  or dry your skin. Use a foamy cleanser after using a heavy oil-based cleanser with moisturising ceramides. 

Yessé solutions can benefit all skin types when performing a double cleanse.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO NEXT? 

Immediately after finishing the double cleanse, you'll need to lock in moisture to keep your skin  hydrated. Apply a decent moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning, and don't forget to  reapply throughout the day.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF WHAT YOU'RE DOING MAKES A DIFFERENCE? 

Double cleansing should show results in a week, whether it's a clearer complexion,  fewer breakouts, or simply cleaner skin.
