How to Double Cleanse Your Face for Clear, Radiant Skin.

 

Double Cleansing

 

Double cleansing means using two different of cleansers; an oil based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser to thoroughly cleanse the face.

 

The oil-based cleanser helps to dissolve and remove makeup, dirt, and excess sebum from the skin, which can clog pores and cause breakouts. It also helps to break down waterproof sunscreen and environmental pollutants. The water-based cleanser, used after the oil-based cleanser, helps to remove any remaining impurities, sweat, and debris, while also providing a gentle and refreshing cleanse.

 

This two-step process ensures that the skin is thoroughly cleansed without stripping it of its natural oils, maintaining the skin's moisture barrier. The result is a fresh, clean, and radiant complexion.

Step 1: Yarrow Oil Cleanser

  1. Starting with dry skin, massage a small amount of Yarrow Oil Cleanser onto your face and neck using circular motions.

  2. Pay extra attention to areas with makeup or impurities to ensure thorough cleansing.

  3. Add a little water to your fingertips and continue massaging, which will emulsify the oil into a milky texture.

  1. After using the Yarrow Oil Cleanser, take a small amount of Meadow Mist Face Cleanser and apply it to your damp face and neck.

  2. Gently massage the cleanser into your skin using upward circular motions.

  3. Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring that all the cleanser is removed.

  4. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
