If you are looking to update your facial routine you should consider the Korean double cleanse. As its name suggests, it consists of cleaning the face in two easy steps. The results? A brighter, cleaner and clearer complexion. A before and after on your skin.
Oriental beauty rituals have been quite a revolution. And it is not surprising, her face is the reflection that a correct and deep cleaning is the secret of success to have (almost) porcelain skin. Korean culture has a strict skin care that, although it includes other steps, makes double cleansing an essential to look healthy and, why not say it, have the most beautiful skin in the world. And it is that, in K-Beauty care, the principle "two is better than one" is followed (to the letter).
What is Korean double cleansing?
The main idea is very simple: it is about cleansing the skin twice. Yes, it's that simple. First of all, an oil cleanser, in liquid or butter format and always depending on your skin type, to remove makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum and other contaminants. Remember the basic of chemistry "like dissolves with like". In other words, only oil-based products can effectively dissolve components that contain oil in their composition, such as makeup base or the skin's own oil generated throughout the day. It's not hard to see this demonstration in real life. Do oil and water mix?
