How to Cleanse Your Face with Oil: The Double Oil Cleansing Method

There are many doubts that arise when we talk about facial cleansing; The most common, after how should I double cleanse morning and night, is can I cleanse my face with oil if I have oily skin? The answer is yes, in fact, you should do it because facial cleansing always has two phases. First remove the dirt from the skin generated throughout the day: sweat, oil, pollution, makeup and sun protection. Once this “superficial dirt” has been removed from our epidermis, something completely natural that occurs in all mortals, it is time to clean our skin. That's what double cleansing consists of, and for the first phase there is no better way than a cream or oil with a slightly oily base to truly achieve a natural, healthy and effective cleansing. The key to maintaining young and healthy skin is always hydration, protection and cleansing.

How to Cleanse Your Face with Oil: The Double Oil Cleansing Method

A Once you have tried it, your vision of facial cleansing will change completely; because? Basically because it is the only way to get a real clean. Only with an oil-based cleanser will you be able to remove all traces of dirt and every last millimeter of makeup and sunscreen. A natural sunscreen never comes off completely if you only use bar soap or oil-free gel. Most sunscreens contain shea butter and/or coconut oil and these oily ingredients do not come off with water alone.

If you choose the correct oil or oil-based cream cleanser, you will be able to completely remove the dirt generated throughout the day with a single product.

Did you know that the best face cleanser we've tried is Luisa 's Ezymatic Facial Cleanser ? This cleanser has become a must have in your skin care and cleansing routine. Suitable for normal, combination or oily skin, this cleanser combines an oil base that when applied to dry skin cleanses all types of impurities, and when rinsed with water it turns into a gel with the aim of removing itself, in this way You get a double cleaning in a simplified way. So if you're looking for a cleanser that removes everything, including sun protection, look no further.

The answer is no. You can use it with complete peace of mind, however, if your skin is combination/oily and/or prone to acne, always avoid comedogenic ingredients, this is enough:

• Cera alba (beeswax)
• Coconut oil
• Shea butter

The important thing is that you do it correctly and that you choose the oil that best suits your skin. We really like Sister & Co's True Cleanse Oil because it includes jojoba oil. Jojoba oil imitates the behavior of the skin's natural sebum and that is why it works wonders and helps the skin self-regulate and produce unnecessary oil (the famous law of similarity). All plant oils in this cleanser are non-irritating and non-comedogenic (pore-blocking).

How does cleansing with a cleansing oil work?

Oil cleansing dissolves the natural oils produced by the facial skin, which in turn are the “culprits” of enhancing impurities and dirtying the pores. Choosing the right oil cleanser will help you remove makeup and sunscreen in one fell swoop. And if you're saying to yourself, “I don't wear makeup or sunscreen all year round, so I don't need an oil cleanser,” you're confused. By using raw, organic and natural vegetable oils you get a gentle but effective cleaning. Really natural. You do not irritate the skin and you manage to leave it 100% free of impurities and rebalance the PH and natural oil production levels of your skin.

How do you apply a cleansing oil? Too easy; On dry skin, simply massage a small amount of oil all over your face, neck and around your eyes. One dose from the container is usually more than enough, but experiment because each skin is different and there is no general, immovable rule. Listen to your skin, it is the wisest, only with perseverance and self-knowledge will you be able to find the exact amount needed.

Let the oil sit for at least 30 seconds so it can act and “break down”/”dissolve” the impurities. Then moisten a cloth/muslin with warm water and begin to clean by massaging until it is completely removed.

Can't I just wash with water?

Many cleansing oils contain emulsifiers, to mix oil and water, meaning you can rinse the oil off with water. But most cleansers that contain natural emulsifiers are “naturally derived” emulsifiers and therefore are often highly processed and lose many of their properties and benefits. They are not unsafe, just not as powerful and pure so if, for whatever reason you decide at that moment, you cannot do an oil cleanse, do it with a soap for your skin type and massage your skin for a few minutes to clean it. as best as possible and finally rinse.

• If you have skin prone to many impurities, Inuit soap No. 4 will work well for you .

• If your skin is combination, dehydrated, choose Inuit soap No. 3.

• If your skin is very sensitive, use Inuit No. 9.

How often should I use an oil cleanser?

At a minimum it is essential that you do it every night and it is optional in the morning; but only you have the answer and no one knows your skin better than you.

Our recommendation for a cleansing oil/balm to use at least every night:

• Hydrating and Soothing Cleansing Balm, Jane Apothecary.

• Recovery Cleanser, Dafna's Skincare.

• Cleansing cream for extremely sensitive skin and/or prone to rosacea, Pai Skincare.

• Oil-based cleansing and makeup remover lotion, Matarrania.
