Double Cleansing

Pure freedom – why double cleansing has double the benefits.

Just a trend? The concept of double cleansing originated in Korea and is now spreading all over the world. But there’s more to it than simply cleansing your face twice. Double cleansing consists of two different cleansing phases that cleverly complement each other, working together to give your skin double the benefits.

The concept behind double cleansing.

Each time you cleanse your face, there are numerous different substances to remove: your make-up, daytime skin care, sunscreen, excess sebum... in other words, substances containing oil, wax, or grease that are best removed using an oil-based facial cleansing product. There’s also sweat, flakes of skin, and small particles of dirt, which are best removed using a water-based cleanser. Combining two products that are designed in different ways and applying them one after the other allows you to cleanse your skin completely, clearing the pores and allowing your face to breathe. Still have questions?

Isn’t that a bit complicated?

Quite the opposite: you will develop your personal cleansing routine in no time, leaving you feeling wonderfully free. Wash off the day and slip into bed without a care in the world. Start your day with a new level of purity. Does that not sound good?

Does it make sense to double cleanse twice a day?

That depends on the skin care you use and your personal cleansing routine. Double cleansing in the evening is especially effective because during the day, your skin is exposed to many external influences, as well as products such as sun screen or make-up. Your skin needs a thorough cleansing in the evening to allow it to breathe freely and revitalize at night.

At Dr. Hauschka, we recommend using water-based skin care products at night. A water-based cleanser is sufficient for the morning. If you use a cream at night, however, you should also carry out a double cleansing in the morning.

Is double cleansing suitable for all skin conditions?

Yes, the concept of a multi-step facial cleansing regime is suitable for oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin and normal skin. Dr. Hauschka’s facial cleanser is suitable for all skin conditions. It uses natural ingredients to gently cleanse the skin while maintaining your skin’s moisture balance and provide all the care it needs.

Can natural cosmetics be used for double cleansing?

Yes. After all, thorough cleansing requires knowledge about cosmetics and cleverly designed products rather than aggressive ingredients.

What double cleansing products are available from Dr. Hauschka?

1. Cleansing step: The Soothing Cleansing Milk is our pre-cleanser for the whole face. We recommend using our Eye Make-up Remover to pre-cleanse the eye area.

2. Gesichtsreinigungsschritt: Our Cleansing Balm, with its refreshing gel-to-milk texture and our Cleansing Cream – one of our classic cleansing products – are the ideal second step.

Tip: If you wear little to no make-up during the day, you can use the Cleansing Balm as a 2-in-1 product.

Extra tip: Finish off your cleansing regime with a few spritzes of Facial Toner. And if you want an even more intensive cleanse, continue with steps three and four: a Clarifying Steam Bath followed by a Clarifying Clay Mask.
