As an avid wearer ofmakeup, I had my cleansing routine locked down.
Paul Westlake
My quick and easy cleansing regime just didnt cut it anymore and needed an overhaul.
What did I have to lose, right?
What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing is a skincare method that involves just two products: an oil cleanser and a water-based cleanser.
Some gel cleansers and micellar waters do work well for this.
With just a splash of water?
60 per cent of residue remained on the surface of the skin.
Below, I outline how my two week experiment panned out.
After cleansing, I dutifully followed up with two moisturisers.
TheLa Roche Posay Effaclar duowent on problem areasblemishes and pimpleswhile theCetaphil Daily Hydrating Moisturizerwent everywhere else on my face.
I allowed the products to sink in for around 10 to 20 minutes before drifting off to sleep.
During the second week, I followed the same method but trialled a different oil cleanser.
And what about a triple cleanse, you ask?
Not necessary at all.
