What is the double cleanse?

Double cleansing is at the very heart of the Korean 10-step skin care routine. Arguably the most important step in the routine, it often gets a bad rap because people aren’t super keen to putting oils on their face. But the double cleanse is critical in removing all the impurities from your face and prepping to apply the rest of your products.

The double cleanse starts out with an oil cleanser followed by a foaming cleanser—you need two different formulas to properly and thoroughly cleanse your face.
