Why You Should Be Double Cleansing

If your skin still feels dull after cleansing, you’re not alone. The secret? You’re probably not double cleansing.

Straight from the K-beauty world that gave us glass skin, double cleansing is the nighttime ritual we swear by — and the results don’t lie.

Why Makeup Wipes Are Out

Let’s talk truth.
Makeup wipes are convenient, but they don’t remove everything. In fact, most of them smear makeup around, leave residue behind, and contain harsh ingredients that can strip your skin barrier.

Instead, we use reusable makeup towels and soft cleansing sponges. Not only are they more eco-friendly — they help your cleanser work better by gently removing surface buildup first.

Step-by-Step: The Double Cleanse Method

Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser
Breaks down SPF, sebum, and makeup. (We love the Anua Heartleaf Cleansing Oil.)

Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser
Removes residue and deeply cleans pores without stripping your skin.

This 2-step system preps your skin for toners, serums, and moisturizers. Think of it as a reset button for your face.

Our Studio Favorite: Anua Heartleaf Cleansing Oil

We first discovered Anua Heartleaf Cleansing Oil while shopping in K-Town, NYC and let’s just say, it’s been a mainstay in our routine ever since.

This oil gently breaks down makeup and soothes sensitive skin thanks to its calming Heartleaf extract. We notice a difference in our skin’s glow and clarity whenever we stop using it.
